Jennifer Hudson's Mom And Brother Shot Dead

Jennifer Hudson's Mom And Brother Shot Dead

I am crying right now.  This is one of those moments when I don't even know what to type because no words could ever express how sorry I am for Jennifer Hudson.  Her mom and brother, Darnell and Jason Hudson, were just found shot to death inside their home in Chicago.

An Amber Alert was also issued for a child who might also be related to the singer and Oscar-winning actress. Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said the deaths appeared to be the
result of domestic abuse, but she declined to elaborate.

Authorities were looking for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban missing
from the area around the home with 7-year-old Julian King inside.

My heart goes out to Jennifer and her family right now. What a horrible, horrible tragedy.

Julian King, Jennifer's 7 year old nephew is reported missing. The picture below shows the little boy should you be in the region.  This is just terrible.

Thank you to everyone who emailed me about this story.

Not very often do I actually feel something for the celebrities I read about on these sites, but I do feel for Jennifer Hudson. How tradgic. And she just got engaged! That's such a family time as well. I'm sure there are no words for her right now...but I hope she has close friends and family to help her through this time.

What on earth are you talking about!? How does anything you say relate to this story? I'm not sure what happened to you in your life, but please keep your hate to yourself... I'm assuming you're not Christian, so logically speaking, if your attitude is so vile, not everything bad can be blamed on Christianity. Besides, I'm pretty sure that most decent people, Christians included would not excuse any violent behaviour like this but instead feel the utmost compassion when they hear this story (not turn it into a platform to spout their hate and malice as you're doing). Love a little.

OMG, how devastating for Jennifer! I hope she gets her nephew back unharmed. My sympathies go out to Jennifer and her family.

This is a horrible thing, and I pray that the missing child is found safe.

BUT...Vera, if this really has made you cry, maybe you need to take a little time off. The job is getting to you. I mean, we all feel terrible for Jennifer Hudson and her family...but I don't CRY over people that I don't even know.

It's called empathy, and just because you don't feel it is no reason to be insulting. Empathy is a powerful emotion and leads people to reach out to those beyond their world and have feelings for them, emotion for them. Some people are cold and insensitive, sure. I'd rather be empathetic any day. Why don't you keep on passing through...?

I am sending healing prayers to everyone involved in this tragedy. My heart goes out to all.

this is my edit;

I often cry for people I don't know.......how can we be human if we don't?

i agree with you soo much, but its funny people here saying things about crying for a stranger, when everyday watching movies, watching oprah etc they cry due to the intensity of a certain situation.
I also often cry for people i dont know, J.Hudson has lost two very important people in family, i cried too. Its soo sad so tragic

Reach out to the Lord Jennifer. He will give you the courage to go on. Just know that He will comfort you and love you through this horrific event.

Hey, Anastasia Beave...I am neither cold nor insensitive. You, however, appear to be overly judgmental and harsh. The fact that I do not cry over an actress whom I've never met does not mean that I have no feelings. I never said I didn't think it was sad. What I said was...and I stand by it...that anyone who is crying after reading this story on this site needs to take a break and reassess your priorities. You're in a little too deep if what you read here has you crying. This is a freaking GOSSIP site, people.

Hey sweetie. I am sorry, it is just so easy to judge someone who doesn't even know how to use the "reply" feature on a message board. Oh. p.s. I did not direct my comments at you (although you have addressed both me and Vera directly now, wow, thanks for all your helpful insight!) regarding cold and insensitive people. Just trying to help you out b/c the concept of empathy seemed so foreign to you. Maybe you just thought I called you names or attempted to label you, b/c you have heard this about yourself before? Yeah, good luck.

regardless if this is a gossip site or not the truth remains that this is an actual event, and terrible at that. I should hope if you were in this situation someone would be compassionate to you. But at this point ill put you on my prayer list. Good Luck!

how sad.. i feel so bad for her!!! and i hope she gets well and finds her little nephew...

vtmama vtmama said:

okay, so i know this slightly off-topic, but the description of her missing nephew that i read on a news site said that this 7 year-old is 130 lbs and less than 5 ft tall...i know bigness runs in families, but jeebus...
regardless, i feel badly for this family and i hope the little boy turns up safe soon. very sad...
