Season three winner of “American Idol” — the smashing singing show series from FOX — apparently defaulted on a loan for one of her homes in Charlotte, N.C., and could lose it to foreclosure, according to the New York Post.
In fact, court records indicate that the sprawling 6,500-square-foot $1.3 million house will head to the auction block on January 12, 2009, if the matter is not resolved before then.
Broward Energy Management claims that the R&B/soul singer — who also recently starred as Celie in the Broadway musical of Oprah Winfrey’s “The Color Purple” — is delinquent on a $58,000 loan.
However, the report refers to the lender as “shadowy.” In addition, TMZ.com recently reported that representatives close to Barrino revealed that this is all “just a misunderstanding.”
Time will tell … hopefully it all works out well for her in the end.
Barrino hails from High Point in the “Tar Heel State.” She owns another home in Charlotte near the one that is currently the subject of foreclosure talk.
