Thereafter, the interview focused on her overcoming her literary deficiences, whatever they are, and being an inspiration to others to step up and get help if they need it. But Fantasia set them straight right off the top that she can read/write.

Hmmm, I don't know if I believe this. She said in a previous interview that she was unable to read a book to her child. Children's books are not that complex since they are designed to help children learn to read, so I'm thinking that she is just a little uncomfortable with the widespread publicity that her illiteracy is getting. I can absolutely understand this, and I hope that she is able to overcome this. However, I think that her problem is/was severe.
