Jennifer Hudson Speaks Out About Tragic Family Murder

Double threat Jennifer Hudson is speaking publicly about the tragic murder of her mother, brother and nephew. In an interview with Essence magazine, the Oscar-winner describes herself as “a mama’s baby.”

“I’d go and sleep in her bed until I was 15 years old,” Hudson revealed.

But the singer is not letting her loss hold her back. “The thing that keeps me going is knowing that God is in control,” she says. “I’s like, if he placed me here, then I must be prepared.”

Her fiance David “Punk” Otunga also expressed his unconditional support, saying, “In this time when things seem so uncertain for her, there is certainty in our bond,” Otunga said. “She doesn’t have to worry about losing me. I’m always going to be right here.” [Photo: FilmMagic]
