Fantasia Barrino, a former winner of “American Idol” who is starring in the movie “The Color Purple,” said she was discriminated against by an Airbnb owner in Mooresville, claiming her family was forced to leave the property they rented for her son’s 12th birthday party.
“My stomach is so uneasy this morning as I’m riding back to my home in the cold and rain,” she posted on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. “I don’t say much when people do me wrong, but I can’t stay quiet on how my family and I were just treated from a host with @Airbnb @airbnbhelp trying to kick my kids and I out at 12:00 midnight.”
Barrino said the property’s host claimed the group was having a party with loud noises outside. The singer acknowledged they had a party, but anything outside happened during the day, including a game truck for the kids. She also claimed they had reserved the property for the number of guests who spent the night at the party.
Fantasia said in an Instagram video that she was contacted by the property owner around 11:30 p.m., hours after the kids were put to bed, for multiple noise complaints. That’s when the singer says they were asked to leave the home.
“It’s evident to me this was racial profiling and the treatment we received was due to the color of our skin,” Barrino’s post says. “I wanted my son to enjoy his friends (10-12) and make him feel special as I have been traveling for the last 35+ days promoting a movie I starred in. This time, I dare not stay quiet.”

Stunt for people to watch that horrible color 🟣 film.
Unfortunately amerikkka is full of ignorant racists who hate to see Black people enjoying themselves. I can see if it was a wild party with loud music, but it was her son's birthday party with 6 of his friends.
Oh well “she said”. Thats all folks! Nothing to see here. Kinda weird she’s also promoting a movie at the same time, but whatever. No other accounts are valid! Complaints be damned!!😂
