Jennifer Hudson experienced an extremely horrific event in 2008 when her mother, nephew and brother were shot to death in her mother’s house in Chicago.
Lucky for Hudson, right before the day of the shootings, her fiance, David Otunga, called her and asked her to fly to Florida instead of going to see her family in Chicago. “That’s one of the things that saved my life. Because I could have been home with my mom then,” Hudson explains.
The singer adds: “[David] wanted me to come out to Florida with him instead of going to Chicago. I flew out to see him; that’s why I’m still here.” Hudson continues, I’ve never said that before, and I can’t believe I just said that now. But I didn’t know. He was just like, ‘I’m going to this wrestling thing, and it’s in Tampa. I’m going out there now, so you can come out there and see me versus going home.'”
