Jennifer Hudson updated her myspace blog last week and wanted to clear the air on those new rumors that have been circulating around the net. Here is what she had to say:
hey guys. once again i think its time to address these rumors thats been going on about me. there are 3 main ones that has been floating around and i want to address them personally so you guys can know the truth
1.) i turned down a movie role for 3 million dollars because of a nude scene and i wasnt the person getting nude. nothing about that is true. i want to do my album. and my fans have waited so patiently for me to put out an album and i appreciate everyone of you, thats why im focused on putting out my first project. and yes i will continue to still do movies.
2.) all of the american idol stuff and burger king comments. i never said anything about if i was better at burger king i would not be there either. and yes i did say american idol was a stepping stone. which it is! i didnt mean it in a bad way. and as i said in my previous interviews american idol is a stepping stone because had it not been for them no one would of knew of a jennifer hudson to call to audition for dreamgirls! its like everything i say referring to the show gets twisted around and makes me look like im being arrogant and a “diva”, since alot of people seems to have that opinion about me and that is not me at all. im not bothered by these rumors because im use to it but i do read the boards and i see my fans are upset by some of the negative rumors concerning me and that is what hurts me the most is to see people who care about me being impacted by all of this.
3.) the soul train awards show and me trying to sabotoge it by not showing up. only thing i can say to this is that i was there! and i appreciate being honored there just as much as i appreciated being honored at the all the award shows i attended. but once again im just writing this for my fans, supporters, and friends who want to know the truth. i am a person with feelings and although i have been warned that things like this would happen to me. and since i am new to this let me be the first to tell you that i have sat back not to long ago just like you guys .I read things about my favorite artist and let me tell you since im experiencing this first hand you guys cant believe everything you read because its not true. o one more thing. im grateful for all my blessings and i thank God for it everyday and no amount of fame will ever go to my head and make me think that im better than anyone because we are all equal. and as quickly as God gave everything he has given me he can take it away!
[SOURCE]
Jennifer ain’t gotta explain shit to NOBODY, wit her loud sangin self…..lol
TELL EM’ WHY YOU MAD SON! LOL!
awww go head Jennifer:)
I still don’t know how I feel about her yet…too much hype, not enough of the real person yet…so i’ll see
I can now sleep at night knowing this.
But seriously, where do all of these rumors come from??
And we care because….
Just keep doing you, Jennifer.
Do you Jen!! IMO God has truly and will continue to bless her tremendously. I knew the rumor about the movie deal wasn’t true. It must be nice to release a rumor control statment and will have 95% of the people who believed the rumors believe your rumor control statment. Because there are plenty of artists out there who could have released rumor control statments and 95% of the people who believed the rumors would still believe them anyway.
LMAO@ #2
I didnt believe anything that was being said about her anyways.
She should have had her publicist say all of this for her cause she needs to brush up on those grammar skills BAD.
She still didnt explain the soul train awards incident thoroughly.
Who cares?? I’m so over her, I am waiting to see if all of these people who support her and is all on her will be there to buy her album when it comes out. Hollywood builds you up and then tears you down.
she needs a publicist and spell check..pronto
REGARDLESS YOU CAN TELL SHE’S SALTY ABOUT THE SOUL TRAIN AWARDS…SHE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO DIP OUT ON DON CORNELIOUS AND THE WHITE MAN STRONG ARMED HER INTO IT!
Jennifer Hudson stay the hel*l away from Dallas Austin!!! JHud girl, puhleeze, I wouldn’t explain shyt to these INGRATES. 1)ALl they do is sit around and talk about your 15 minutes will be up. 2) You won the Oscar for singing WHEN you played EFFIE to the tee. People, especially your own kind, are fukked up in the mind with jealousy, hate, envy, and just plain misery. 3) I crack up to pieces when I read how everybody suddenly jumped on your bandwagon. Damm, so I guess Matt Lauer, Oprah, etc. weren’t genuinely impressed with your proven acting skills and powerhouse voice, they just saddled up too. People are so bitter and envious. They need to discover their own talents and make it happen. JHud for now on don’t address anymore rumors, let them fade in the wind. YOu are a child of God and therefore truly blessed and highly favored. Shake these haters off, shake, shake, shake ‘em off! ****lmbaooooooo**** Jealousy is a beast! Dayum…Big Girls Rule all day everyday! bwahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa heehehehehehehehe
publicist for spell check??? Gosh, Jennifer said someone else monitors her page, she just gives them input! Get over it. If you’re so educated and versed in English/Language Arts, get your as$ off ConcreteLoop and apply for a job in copy-editing somewhere!!! Lame as$es
&&&&&&CLIVE DAVIS DID NOT INVOLVE HIMSELF WITH SOUL TRAINS. YALL GULLIBLE AS$ES BELIEVE ANY AND EVERYTHING. $$$$ YOU GOT BEEF, GO TAKE IT UP WITH THE 8 OUT OF 10 (80%) WINNERS THAT DIDN’T BOTHER TO SHOW UP.
IF CLIVE HAD THAT MUCH ARM, WHITNEY WOULD’VE NEVER MARRIED BOBBY. $$$$$$$$$ YALL NEED TO GO READ A BOOK
I’m REALLY glad that she tried to clear this up, because although I had her back, I was kinda ticked off at her for some of the stuff I read – even though the Soul Train thing seemed to be true since all she said was, “I was there” (sounds like Clive DID say, “Get your azz over there!”) LOL
But I didn’t see that as a big deal anyway since her not being there would have hardly stopped the show, she’s not THAT big a star to shut down an awards show.
People need to leave her alone. Just because she outshined a certain other star people are hatin on her.
GO JEN!!!!!
You guys are a bunch of dumb asses.
…If you’re mad, I’m talking about you.
I am glad Jen cleared the air cuz the media was trying to make her out to be a BITCH and DIVA lately!!!
Keep doing you, Jen I love ya!
# 2… u a fool!
NO NEED TO EXPLAIN OR CLEAR UP THE RUMORS FOLK WILL BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE. I WOULD PREFER IT IF YOU JUST STUCK YO ACTING THO. AT ANY RATE DO YOU.
Jennifer tells these stupid, wannabe her bitches what’s what! Bandwagon fans are pathetic.
Jennifer you are a hell of a woman for doing that.Some artist would have just let that go for what it’s worth. thanks for clearing the air.
I appreciate artists taking the time to shout out to their fans just to clear the air, but once they do int one time they’ll be expected to do it all of the time.
HOWEVER, she didn’t admit whether she wanted to do Soul Train or not………………….
Also, what she posted that wasn’t (for some reason) posted on here:
question??????????????
why do we have to be in competiton with each other? nobody says that when mary has a cover n beyonce has a cover . n y when people like one they gotta hate the other? things like this i just dont understand. what me being on the over of vogue got to do with beyonce on the cover of a sports magazine? y do people have to talk the other one down to lift up the other? this is not in reference to my myspace friends but sometimes i do read the boards. so i figured u all can help me understand this a little better. pls leave me a message . i’m just doing me . i’m not trying to compete with nobody. i give my best to every artist out there. do u.jhud
I can appreciate Jennifer for caring enough about her fans to want to clear the air…and I’m glad she did. But she certainly owes nobody anything! The people hating on her WISH they could have accomplished what she’s accomplished in such little time!
Jen, these hating, loser b*tches aren’t worth your time! Keep doing you, mama!
She’s addressing these rumors because of IDOITS like #6, #11,#12 and #14…NOBODY LIKES PEOPLE SPREADING LIES ABOUT THEM!
stop hating and congratulate!
Haha she stupid. I cant wait for her album to FLOP!
Wow. I’m mad that someone believes that telling someone to perform at an awards show is on the same level as telling someone who they can and cannot marry. Clive Davis does have a say in matters that affect her singing career…..
27, SMH.
Always a class act, Jennifer, bravo! Big ups to Chi-Town, baby! There’s more goodness coming out of the Midwest than Kanye’ West and R. Kelly!…
Peace!
THANK YOU #6 LOL
AND I SEE SHE WALKED AROUND THE SOULTRAIN INCIDENT I WAS THERE! OK WE KNOW BUT WHAT/WHO MADE YOU GET YOUR ASS THERE QUICK FAST JENN???
#14 & #26 – please remove yourself from JHUD’s ass!
Yes – spell check is a good thing when your celebrity posting a message in your name.
Yes – she needs her publicist to handle these types of things. If she spends her time addressing every rumor that comes out about her she will end up with a lot of wasted energy. She needs to learn to just start ignoring these things.
No – No one is HATING on JHUD. Not only do I like Jennifer Hudson, I have nothing but respect for the girl and have been a fan of hers since idol. The only difference is unlike YOU, I’m not an obsessed psychotic fan. I never believed any of these rumors to begin with.
Some of you people who resort to name-calling and attack others who have different opinions of the celebrities you worship really need to evaluate yourselves! Stop living vicariously through people. It’s just a f*ckin post? Why all the draaaaaaammmma!
Ain’t nobody thinking about you, J-Hud. The Oscars and Dreamgirls are over!! Over I say! I’m happy you won..I really am. But your fifteen minutes of fame are almost up….we are sitting here talking about Diddy and his infidelity..aint nobody think about you no mo’.
Note to Jennifer:
Keep doing what you love and what got you here.
Ignore the haters.
You will soon get tired of addressing or even dealing with rumors and your responses will get twisted anyway. So just go on about your business, keep your head up and stay humble.
things are getting silly now.
[...like i really care about them stank rumours.. i knew they was dodgy anyway]
Jen Just Do your thing- i advise you to look straight!
She doesn’t need to address all those rumors because her real fans do not believe them anyways.
Many of you may not like Jennifer but get used to her cause she ain’t going nowhere…J-Hud is here to stay!
This is the worst thing that JHudd couldve done. There is no need for her to address these rumors. It is pointless and a waste of her time. A class act doesnt have to address any rumors because there are always going to be rumors about somebody that they media has built up. I do see her success as 20 minutes of fame, not 15 because she has a little bit more then that but I will say about 20 minutes.lol.. I can already see how it is going to play out. I could be wrong but I seriously doubt it. My suggestions to Jhudd is get it while she its hot. But to end, I think that her expanation was a waste of her time and mines.
Jen has to ignore the haters. There just mad cuz your doin big things and they suck.
its a net blog..not an essay. why in da hell must she have proper grammar, and half of yall that talked about her grammar made mistakes in your post? ..sheesh
I LUV THAT PIC U HAVE OF HER…. SHE LOOKS FABULOUS!!!
TELL EM GIRL… AND REMEMBERT HIS RUMOR SHIT IS NEW TO HER…
Haters are gon’ hate.
She has grammar issues. Lol. Whose the dumb one now? Lol j/k.
J-HUD IS A FAT ASS!!! GO EAT A STICK A BUTTER AND SOME BURGER KING FATTY! SHE CANT ACT AND SHE CANT SING!! THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SING IS MY GURL CIARA!! ITS CIARA TIME!!!
#2 LMAO. The mad rapper has resurfaced. lol
And this is why i love her so much. She didn’t have to address these things, and yet she has. Her fans really does matter to her. This is a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. And she truly is humble, nothing arrogant about her, and i’m guessing this is why she is so blessed. I am so impressed. She is not the kind of person that DELIBERATELY start rumors just to keep her name out there. She is a real person with a voice. To Jennifer, I wish you so much success, and as long as you remain the beautiful person that you are, i will support any project you are involved in. I wish you all the fortune in the world, luck is not needed here.

I totally disagree with you. A CLASS ACT would acknowledge certain rumors cause they are damaging. Only a fuckin puppet (and we all know who that is) would sit back and not speak at all, instead letting everyone around them speak for her. Jennifer is a class act because she holds her fan dear to her and she wanted to dispell some of the rumors, cause at the end of the day, the fans are who makes the celebrity. This is not to say she’s going to speak on every rumor, because there has definitely been other rumors out there, that she hasn’t given any attention to. You talk like she releases a statement after every rumor. This is not true. Please give her credit for taking the time out of her day, to even say anything because she didn’t have to do this. This shows TRUE HUMILITY on the part of a celebrity.
In fact, i think some people might have wanted the rumors to stay so that they can damage her career, because face it, some people are haters of her instant success, and they want to think ill of her; they want to think she’s arrogant so they can justify their hate for her. Sorry, she’s a child of God and arrogance is not what she’s about.
And sorry, for fame will last far longer than 15-20 minutes cause her talent is not gimmick-ridden, it’s true talent that nobody’s hate can take away, no matter how jealous people are of her. There’s no way this girl’s success is short lived. The more people hate, the farther she’s going to go. NEXT!!!!
You guys live vicariously through these celebrities don’t you? i read the comments everyday, and if you didn’t know any better you would think that some of you know these celebs personally. Wow!
Its sad to say that in our community these are the things we say and do to each other. Stars are like normal people hell sometime we just do feel like doing shittt . Shes very talented and no matter if shes here to stay or not she attempted to do something w/ her life. Take a long look @ yourself …………….. what are you doing? where are u going??
OH YEAH … THE BIGG PICTURE IS HOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY PIMPS OUR ARTISTS DONT WORRY IF J-HUDSON FLOPS U WILL SEE HOW LOYAL HOLLYWOOD IS TO HER .. ITS ALL ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY FOR THEM WHILE THE ARTIST ARE LEFT W/ PENNIES *THINK-ABOUT-IT
Plus size & black in Hollywood? not a good thing
Well thats good that she set the record straight. And to the person who said she doesnt write her blog, i think ur wrong, She herself said on Tyra’s show that she actually writes on her myspace personally. BUT anyhow, its a great thing, that she is standin up for her self.
Do your thang, Jenny. Chitown got your back.
I think that Jennifer will be around for more than 15 minutes. Jen has to learn like everybody does. Everybody isn’t going to like are agree with everything that you do and say. Jennifer won because she is a force to be reckoned with. Let the truth be told there hasn’t been a voice in the industry for a long time that is as powerful as Jennifer’s voice. Just like Idol, Dreamgirls is her stepping stone also. People hate on shit that they don’t understand. I believe there will be a lot of albums and movie roles coming your way. GOD BLESS!
She’s here to stay, she’s a great artist, I can feel it.
WHY ADDRESS RUMORS NOW? WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO, MAKE EXCUSES FOR EVERY RUMOR? CHILE BOO, GET REAL. HER ASS LYING. BLACK FOLKS DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THEM, A LONG AS YOU NOT TALKIN BOUT A N%^^* MAMA. AND DATS REAL.
Ciara Time?!?
I’m not one to hate but did you just compare Ciara’s voice to Jennifer’s?
@ #10 That’s what I’m talking about!!!! I can’t wait!!
There is no comparison, Ciara can dance, that’s it.
@33 Bmoreserious..to not care about somebody,what was the point of that dumb lil’ comment you’ve made,which I’m sure took you all of 5 min!
..Well back to gossiping,and hating on ppl,who are rich and successful,and living their lives,while ppl like you have Nothing to look forward to but more gossip,and frequent trips to the unemployment line.
Keep doing you Jenn,I’m sure your music career will be successful,’cause otherwise Clive ain’t having it,lol..and the hater who’ll count down your suppossed ’15 mins’,will be counting down over,and over again!
Why do so many peopel sit around all day praying for the downfall of various other people that they dont even know? Can a mofo live and dream big? Nothing is guaranteed ,esp in entertainment. Its the one industry that can love ya today and hate ya tommorow. We all know how Hollyweird is. They will place ya a*z high up on some pedestal ,& have ya thinking that you cant ever fall .Thats why ya have to remain humble, stay grounded, surround yourself with good people who have your best interest at hand, and not feed into the hype. How many celebrities hit the scene and just captured the spotlight only to fade away ,like yesterdays news? Longevity and noit just overnigth instant success is what any good artist ( established orup & comign ) should strive for, because thats what makes ya great! With taht beign said who knows what they years ahead holdforJennifer Hudson( time will tell) but I wish her nothing less than the best chance to make it happen! Instead ofgettign on here speaking bad abotu soemoen ya dotn know, try workign hard toaccomplish your own goals!
Damn am I having a dyslexic ,lol momont with all them mispelled words, excuse the diva
I can spell really I can,lol just typed to fast!
