JENNIFER HUDSON Biography
JENNIFER HUDSON‘s stardom began as a contender on Season three of American Idol. Hudson made her movie debut in the musical film Dreamgirls in 2006, which won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe Award among many other awards.
Despite a thriving career, Hudson has been dealing with a shocking family tragic. Hudson lost her mother, her brother and her 7-year-old nephew in late 2008; the three family members were all shot to death by Hudson‘s sister Julia’s estranged husband, William Balfour.
Jennifer opened up to Oprah in February, 2011 for the first time about the family tragic, she tearfully said:
“My mother would be saying to me, ‘Stop crying, why are you always crying?’ or my brother telling me ‘Jenny knock it off you gotta keep going.’” “The only thing I can do to honor them is to make them proud.”
Certain things we would never get over in life but we still have to carry on and be strong.
Jennifer has recently dropped over 80 pounds and she looks absolutely amazing. Despite the family tragic she’s gone through, she was able to pull herself together the best she could and the new Jen looks better than ever.
We’re sure your family is looking at you from Heaven and are all proud of you just like us, Jen!
