Fantasia Barrino, former American Idol champ, says when it came to overdosing on aspirin:

    "I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a bottle of pills."


Barrino was rushed to the hospital earlier this month after overdosing on aspirin and sleep aid following the news that she was named in a lawsuit by the jilted wife of Barrino's married boyfriend -- and that there was a sex tape that would prove Barrino was the other woman.

After waking up in the hospital following the overdose, Fantasia reveals her first thoughts were, "It didn't work. I'm still here in this hell hole. Still here with all the drama going on."

On Good Morning America, the singer tells Robin Roberts:

    "I was overloaded with everything...tired of people doing me wrong. I just wanted to be away from the noise."


Fantasia's new album, Back To Me, hits stores today.
