JHud Plagued by Guilt

Posted by Bossip Staff

This is very sad update from Livesteez on the Jennifer Hudson ordeal:

In the wake of laying her beloved family members to rest, Jennifer Hudson blames herself for last month’s tragic murders of her mother, brother and nephew in her native Chicago, Illinois. The singer-actress feels she should have convinced her family to move out of the troubled neighborhood. Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason, were found shot dead at their home on October 24th. Julian King, her seven-year-old nephew, was also killed – his body was found in an abandoned car three days later. And the Oscar-winning Dreamgirls star now feels wracked with guilt over the deaths, claiming she should have done more to move them away from the family home in Chicago’s notorious South Side to live with her in Los Angeles, according to reports. “Jennifer grew up on Chicago’s South Side, and knew all about the violence. She was able to get out, and wanted to take her mama with her, but Darnell said no,” says family friend Sharita Dickey. Hudson’s second cousin, adds, “Jennifer is hurting and asking why this happened. She’s asking why she didn’t do more to persuade Darnell to move away. It was Darnell’s decision to stay here in Chicago. This was her home and her family were here,” says Reverend Krista Alston.

We can’t even imagine how much Jennifer is hurting right now, but blaming herself is not the answer. We really hope that she and her sister accept the support of friends and family and learn how to live life despite their loss.

    The only person who is responsible is the murderer!!!

  6. Shaft

    Who wrote this ignorant ***** story? The Chicago south-side neighborhood did not kill the Hudson family. All evidence points to this being a domestic incident, which can and does happen in the richest and poorest neighborhoods.

  9. LADY ARCHITECT (DOING BIG THINGS AT 23)

    THIS IS SAD AND SHE SHOULDN’T BLAME HERSELF. MANY PEOPLE THAT BECOME WEALTHY OFTEN TELL THEIR SIBLINGS TO MOVE, BUT SOME PEOPLE WANT TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS LIKE THAT. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WANTED HER TO MOVE, BUT SHE TOOK PRIDE IN WHAT SHE ACHIEVED WHICH WAS HER OWN PLACE. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT AND THERE’S NO REASON FOR JHUD TO BLAME HERSELF. MAYBE HER FAMILY LOVED THEIR CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD DESPITE THE VIOLENCE. MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE KILLER IS THE ONE TO BLAME.

  10. Lady elle

    THE ONLY PERSON TO BLAME IS THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER.

    :(

  11. Juice

    It ain’t harsh to say that YES she should have moved her people into a better situation! Everybody is being sensitive, but it’s obvious that her brother was into some dirt. Leave his ***** on the South Side! At least move moms to a better spot! If I was suddenly blessed enough to be able to move my mom out of her two bedroom apartment, you better believe that she would living in the lap of luxury.

  12. MIMORENA76

    Dag, i hope she really pulls through and stop blaming herself. It’s sad that she feels that way. I hope she dosent fall off because guilt sometimes dose strange things to people. May God heal her mind body and spirit

  13. soulwoman

    Was it so much the “hood” or more so the people individuals *****ociates with having a hood mentality? This could have happened anywhere if the *****ociations were still the same.

  14. blaq

    This is why it is important for us to stay in our neighborhoods and JHud should use this incident not to feel quilt about them not moving but as a catapult to fight violence in that neighborhood. Obama said we have a lot of work to do and it starts at home on your block, it’s time to make all of America Great.

  15. bria

    That is part of the grieving process. She is at the blame stage. She has to go through a few more steps before she can fully mourn. Just continue to pray for her and her family.

  16. Pynk

    I can’t even imagine what she is going through.

  17. WordtotheWise

    It is NOT Jennifer’s fault. Her mother was a grown woman and the last time I checked, you can’t MAKE an adult do anything they don’t want to do. Poor baby. The last thing she needs is to carry that guilt around on her shoulders. I pray God will give her peace and that she’ll stay away from the negative media.

  18. WordtotheWise

    Bria, thank you for that insight. I forgot there were stages of grieving.

  19. Aunt Viv

    “That is part of the grieving process. She is at the blame stage. She has to go through a few more steps before she can fully mourn. Just continue to pray for her and her family.”

    ____________________________________

    Co-sign bria. Well said. The only person guilty is the monster who killed the family. JHud get my prayers


  20. murder happens everywhere>

  21. And...

    I agree Aunt Viv & Bria

    Most emotions take place in stages.

    My grandparents neighborhood started to change and my father wanted to move them into a subdivision/condo or something for elderly people. It was very, very nice but they didn’t want to.

    They later moved of their own will, but always had the “Those kids aint gon mess with us or do us nothing” mentality.

    Knowing a person personally or watching them grow up has no bearing on what they will do in a moment of desperation.

    As someone mentioned they hope she didn’t fall off, I hope she doesn’t either.

    She has a lot of natural talent and alot to look forward to – she is nowhere near her full potential.

    Her pain will influence her art – I think she’ll turn this situation around in time.

    I also think her fiance David (Punk), with his drive & desire for success on any avenue will remind her of how important her career is.


  22. word 2 the wise/ very smart words>

  23. ChineseChickenWingz

    guilt is a normal feeling after a tragic loss like this -its not her fault at all stay strong baby girl!

  24. ATXChick

    JENNIFER PLEASE STAY STRONG.. DONT THINK LIKE THAT ITS NOT YOUR FAULT AT ALL.

  25. LADY ARCHITECT (DOING BIG THINGS AT 23)

    like someone said earlier. you can’t blame this on the neighborhood. This has been said to be a domestic dispute if anything so truthfully this can happen anywhere. The only difference is maybe the police would’ve been called sooner, but it still would’ve been too late.


  26. If asked her to move then she shouldnt take the blame. WHen its your time, it doesnt matter. It could have happened other ways. All of this was a sign of God.

    She be thankful and be a spearhead voice against violence.


  27. She should be thankful for the life her mother gave her and be a spearhead voice against violence.

  28. STEFANY

    I agree you shouldn’t be living in the hood when your daughter/sister is a Oscar winner/movie star/top selling artist. Why in the hell would you opt to stay in the *****ing hood and in a bad neighborhood on top of that when you can do better. Her brother Jason and former brother in law (Julian’s father) had been busted for selling drugs out of that house, hell Jennifer’s mother knew what was going on, what her son was doing and the kind of people he was dealing with and what type of loser her daughter was married to and they chose to stay. So Jennifer shouldn’t blame herself for happened, hell it isn’t like she didn’t try to move them. But at the same time I do understand her pain especially for poor little Julian, his face just breaks my heart when I think about what his last moments were like it just makes me sick inside because this bullshyt could have been prevented, he was inocent and didn’t deserve that!

    If anybody should feel guilty It should be her fat, trashy, nasty ***** sister for srewing thugs and bringing that animal around her son.

  29. Pynk

    Sad thing is there probably isn’t anything ANYONE can tell her to make her feel better or to take any pain away.

  30. SIMPLY JUICY(YES WE DID!!!!!)

    JENNIFER PLEASE STAY STRONG!!!!!

    I PRAY THAT YOU DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF FOR THIS..IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT THE MURDERERS FAULT….AND VIOLENCE IS EVERYWHERE!!!!…GOD BLESS YOU JENNIFER AND JULIA!!!

  31. katie

    I pray that she finds peace

    during this difficult period in her life.

  32. STEFANY

    If asked her to move then she shouldnt take the blame. WHen its your time, it doesnt matter. It could have happened other ways. All of this was a sign of God.

    *****************************************************

    THIS WAS NO SIGN FROM GOD!

    This was the product of people being *****ing ignorant..It’s not always God’s will when tragedy stikes sometimes we bring bad ***** on ourselves.keep in mind that God gives us free will just like they had the choice to better themselves and chose not to..Sometimes God gives us a warning but we don’t listen, when Jason got busted for drugs that should have been a sign to move, not only were they given a sign but they were giving a blessing through Jennifer for a better life that most people could only dream of and these hood negros didn’t take advantage of it..Common sense should have told them that they couldn’t stay in the damn hood when your sister/daughter is a millionare, your asking for trouble.

    This is living proof that money don’t fix ignorance.

  33. charlie brown

    don’t let it get you down J

    you offered to move them away but they did not want to leave

    it aint your fault

    they are in a better place now

    keep your head up

    We Love you!!!

  34. Pynk

    @Stefany… Amen sister… I second all you say

  35. kenya

    this wasn’t a case of her family falling victim to random violence, but it was directed towards them. so even if they were living on the highest peak of the highest mountain in wyoming, the outcome would be no different. jennifer if you lurk here and you read this know that i can empathize with you on guilt, it’s a natural human emotion and you just have to let it ride because it will get better, however you can’t let it consume you either. mourn and grieve for your people but don’t for one minute think that they would want your spirit to die, or for you to let go of your dreams. be strong and eventually you’ll be able to come to terms with it. my deepest regards. i bet baby julian was a ham!

  36. Mrs. Philly

    That’s not her fault they didn’t want to move, LA is not the stairway to heaven but it’s a lil closer than Chicago’s south side so I can see how she knows that they could have lived a longer, better life in LA. I do agree with that.

  37. Nita

    Jennifer shouldn’t be feeling guilty. She did what she could.

    Now, JULIA on the other hand.

    Also, this @ STEFANY wrote, “Why in the hell would you opt to stay in the *****ing hood and in a bad neighborhood on top of that when you can do better. Her brother Jason and former brother in law (Julian’s father) had been busted for selling drugs out of that house, hell Jennifer’s mother knew what was going on, what her son was doing and the kind of people he was dealing with and what type of loser her daughter was married to and they chose to stay. So Jennifer shouldn’t blame herself for happened, hell it isn’t like she didn’t try to move them.”

    Exactly, Stefany. My prayers for Jennifer.

    Tell it. Tell it. Tell it.

  39. ShavonDenise

    I hope this isnt true because she needs to know that this couldve happened anywhere. So blaming yourself isnt the solution because the world is crazy.


  40. She kind of shady and she knows what she is upset about I think she could have moved her family out of the hood but when you come from nonthin and you get somethin all of a sudden you get the big head and now look what being stuck up got her just like she dropped her fiance it was a pattern.

  41. Butterscotch

    She’s just experiencing the different stages of grief like all of us do when faced with a loss we did not expect. Let’s just all continue to pray for her during her time of need.


  42. Kenya sumed it all up Stefany..

    but it was directed towards them. so even if they were living on the highest peak of the highest mountain in wyoming, the outcome would be no different.

  43. Apo6

    Stefany was right on target, RIP for he r family, but her mother new what type of children she had. I say children b/c her son was a dirty folks thug who sold drugs, and her daughter was someone who liked thugs and in turned married one and invited a loose cannon into their house. People do change but when it comes to the hood, its either you are in or out. and Her brother and sister were not out.

  44. Ms. V

    Jennifer should take comfort in knowing that her family is not in pain. They are in a place where they’re at peace with their mind, body and soul. It’s very hard to think about it that way when it’s your loved ones or when you look at how this family was murdered. She should know that they love her very much and watch over and protect her. Julian is an angel. He’s beautiful and when I see a spirit such as his, I know that he watches over her.


  45. Jennifer should blame her fat ***** sister Julia- I am DEEPLY DISTURBED that they set up a fund 4-days after the deaths to take donations for abused women- who exactly was abused. Not Julia who could abuse a whale like her. I question asking for money instead of flowers- I suppose Julia wants to live off of donations but she is no battered woman and the fund they started is real suspect. People who do donate should ask for an accounting of every single dollar because setting up a fund 4-days later for abuse and it wasn’t determined Julia was abused seems so phony

  46. REALNESS

    Apo and Stefany, SHUT THE HELL UP

    Yall so dam ignorant for saying something like that.

  47. janae'

    It is not Jennifer’s fault. It is normal to blame oneself when going through such turmoil. There is anything She could have done to prevent this. Her mother was an adult who made her own decisions. I hope that she finds peace of mind through her time of sorrow.

  48. BrownSugar

    Jennifer if you read these posts, know what you are feeling in a normal part of the grieving process. But please do not let the devil steal your spirit. Often times when a loved one dies you start to wonder why did you not do more, you know that you could have changed the situation. Remembers God does not make mistakes, but he will allow things to happen. Please stay prayerful and no the only person to blame is the devil and the people he has energized to commit such a hateful. You and your family are in my prayers,stay close to God.

  49. Compton Cutie

    Sooo let me get this right…the fault lies within the neighborhood of the Southside of Chicago…Please!

    They (meaning the family) were involved in the dealing of drugs…this is what more than likely lead to the murders!

    And trust me…even if the family had moved away form “the ‘hood”…their “bad habits” would have followed.

  50. B-Nice

    I pray for Jennifer Hudson, “I pray may time heal the wounds left in her heart by the untimely death of her family.”

  51. B-Nice

    Wow! Some of these comments are truly mean spirited. Ignorance is bliss, its a Cancer to the hope of living in a world that actually gives a damn about each other.

    If you want to be that brutally honest perhaps you should take that same energy and use it usefully, like becoming a law officer, or psychologist, or behavioral specialist, instead of wasting time writing on bossip…..

  52. memchee

    No, she definitely shouldn’t feel guilty, because she did nothing wrong.

    God and Life will take care of the people or person took those lives!!!!

    Jennifer would not have been able to convince her moms to move……I have fam with that mindset as well.

    She would have needed people on her moms level and age to convince her about the ills of staying in such a neighborhood with Jennifer’s fame.

  53. FLY_GUY

    I feel terrible for this young lady,

    but for someone to REFUSE the chance

    of a better life is BEYOND STUPID.

    There is NOTHING sacred about staying in

    a HELL HOLE when you have an HONORABLE

    way out of it — that is BEYOND STUPID.

    Poor young woman — poor JENNIFER.

  54. mrs t

    that is so sad, I live in Chicago and the neighborhood Jennifer grew up in is very bad, but the neighborhood didn’t kill her family, her sisters poor judgement in choosing a criminal as a husband killed her family. If anybody should feel bad, it should be her sister for bringing a murderer into her family and especially her sons life. WOMEN WAKE UP!! YOU NEED TO LEAVE THAT THUG MENTAILITY IN THE STREETS AND START RESPECTING YOURSELVES AND YOUR CHILDREN MORE. JENNIFERS SISTER IS TOTALY THE BLAME

  55. kay

    I feel it is imperative that the next time you write a story making such a negative comment about the entire south side of Chicago you do your homework. The southside has many neighborhoods and communities which some good and some bad. You do realize the President Elect and his family currently reside on the “horrible” southside of Chicago.

    You might want to say the community Englewood (where the Hudson family resided) which is located on the southside of Chicago is plagued with issues but reduce an entire area to such a negative comment leaves me to believe the author of this story has never been to Chicago and is just writing nonsense. Either way we have to do better!!!

  56. kit

    This is some bull***** i live in englewood southside of chicago for 20 years i never been rob,rape or shot at.If you live quiet decent life and don’t *****ociate with thugs or garbage u can grow old anywhere. LOOK like jennifer should blame that big fat horny desperate sister of hers and not the community


  57. trust and believe that mess could have happened anywhere/ the anchor woman that got beaten and killed she lived in a so called upscale hood!


  58. preach kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. Anon

    Guilt is a part of the healing process. This is not Jennifer’s fault… she did all she could by asking her mother to leave the hood. I believe Darnell stayed because of Julian… by Julia’s own admission, her mother was basically raising Julian.

    If Darnell left, who was going to take care of Julian. She knew that Julia loved thugs and Jason dealt in drugs (sorry for the rhyme)… but since Darnell didn’t have legal custody of Julian, she couldn’t take him with her if she left.

    I wish they would have taken a hint from Mariah and Pat Carey… Mariah helped her mom get custody of her drug addicted/prostitue sister’s oldest boys. Allison Carey threatened to sue, but knew she didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. Where are the boys today? One is an Harvard educated Lawyer while the other is still in college.

    Jennifer just needs to heal and stay strong… she’s young and capable of starting over. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she decides to stay out of the limelight for several years, have a couple of kids, then ease back into the business by making 1 film a year and recording 1 cd. Whatever she decides… she’ll be in my prayers

  60. Yvonne

    A lot of people feel like that when a loved one(s) is gone, especially if it was unexpectedly. They think “if only I did this” or “I should have been more attentive” or “why didn’t I listen more to him/her”.

    That is all part of going through the grief syndrome…you have shock, sadness, anger, blame, depression and more.

    I am sure Jennifer asked her mom more than once to move and her mom said no. So Jennifer did her part.

    What I hope is Jennifer and Julia get extensive grief therapy. That will help them to heal. The healing is not going to be easy and it may take a year or more, but it can be done.

  61. DENNIS FM DOVER

    J-Hud couldn’t make her mother live her dream. I didn’t know the woman but hey, you can take the rat out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the rat. Momma wanted no part of La La Land because it could never be South Chicago for her. Innocence dies in the ghetto. She knew that too.

  62. about it

    Many people think the answer is to leave the neighborhood. But if the problem is in the household, the location of the neighborhood doesn’t matter.

    She is probably feeling guilty because she didn’t drag her mom out that house. I think she knew where her brother and sister stood.

    What she needs to realize is that if that did happen, loneliness, worry and longing would have made her mother sick.

    Props to folks who stayed in Englewood, Compton, Watts, Harlem. The white man’s plan is to destroy our neighborhood to claim it. Unfortunately, that plan gets a lot of help from people like Jason/Julia Hudson.

  63. Verodemort

    I can’t begin to imagine what it would be like to bury THREE family members at the same time. And her nephew! God help her! When someone you know has died, especially in a violent crime, you feel bad just for being around… I think they call it survivors guilt. You feel like “it could have been me” or “why didn’t I die instead of them?” but the only thing that helps is Gods grace and lots of therapy! Good luck to Jhud, poor little lamb!

  64. Zenbabe

    I am reading so many different comments here about Jhud/her wanting to move her family/family not wanting to move/mourning-grieving/abuse and I think the most ignorant comment i’ve read so far is from Jaime, who said,

    “Jennifer should blame her fat ***** sister Julia- I am DEEPLY DISTURBED that they set up a fund 4-days after the deaths to take donations for abused women- who exactly was abused. Not Julia who could abuse a whale like her.”

    Oh, this harshness speaks directly of the bitterness in YOUR soul and life… whether she was fat or thin, abuse is so real!!!! Jaime, I have no words for you, the universe is going to deal with you…. Julia lost a son…. one day, when you loose everything and everyone around and they are dead, trying listening to someone say the same things you are now saying about Julia… she lost her mother, her brother, her son. This may not necessarily excuse that she may have contributed to the cir*****stances, but all of that blaming now doesnt change a damn thing… you should like a spoilt sheltered brat who hasnt really lived…. shame on you… the universe will deal with you…

    The video is very good ,I am a beautiful woman from US. i am just at the begining of my career and want to seek a rich and mature man for support, maybe to be my sugar daddy..where should i start?? maybe here.. i also uploaded my hot photos on the famous service ***Agelessca***com under the name MissGreenEyes, maybe you want to check out my photos!

  66. TiVo

    Moving out of the hood aint the issue. I moved to the burbs and I see *****s wit a few dollas do the same and they bring the ghettoness to the burbs. So sickening when you get up early Sunday morning taking a walk and enjoying the smell of fresh cut gr***** and the birds chirping and you see these dumb ignant *****s rolling blasting their music or walking their pit bulls and sagging with a du-rag on.

  67. TiVo

    Also when family members invite their ghetto friends up in your house when you at work wtf you gonna do?

  68. CommonSense...(stalking my spot on the U.S. Capitol steps for Barack's inauguration)!!!

    Poor Jennifer…I can’t even imagine what she is feeling. I agree with others that she is going through the stages of grief.

    In time she will realize that she tried to move Mom’s from the neighborhood. But from what I’ve read – Mom’s didn’t want to leave. Her house was paid for and she had ties to the community….

  69. And...

    @ TiVo

    …snickering but not laughing. (Touchy topic) That irks me too. I think music & the pants sagging is a huge pet peeve of alot of people.

    I see the White kids do it – I just sigh, that’s on them. BUT, when the Black kids/men do it I get frustrated and am like “Why, mfkr for what?” I know they know better. Is it that serious? Is the song that serious? Why are you cursing the neighborhood out w/your music because you’re crunk? It burns my @ss when it’s early in the morning. I saw somebody this morning, rims spinning on the way to work w/his durag on. He could have been well educated, nice job or even had on a suit – couldn’t tell.

    All you could hear was noise, see a nucka, and check the rims.

    No matter where they lived that would have happened – the offender wasn’t a random guy. It was somebody close to the family.

    Somebody please talk to JHud. I know she’s hurting right now and she wished she could have done something different, but everything happens for a reason and if God didn’t have a plan, it would have never happened. I can somewhat imagine what she’s going through but not to the fullest extent.

    Like I always tell people, “You don’t lose a person, You only gain an angel.” and now she has three. It’s hard to accept, especially the way it happened, but this was a blessing for her life. Watch and see how even better her life gets, becuz she has three angels watching over her and making sure she achieves greatness.

  73. p*****ion

    While I’ve never been a big fan of Jennifer Hudaon, I too agree that it’s not her fault. Jason wasn’t a “model citizen”. Jason sold drugs-that means he most likely sold drugs to children. I cannot defend someone that chooses to sell drugs, quite often to children. Julia made some extremely bad choices in life-with both her son’s father and her husband. People find all sorts of excuses for the things that they do (i.e. no jobs, society etc.). I have a baby sister that is dead because of the lifestyle she chose (she was addicted to prescription drugs). I tried to convince my mother to stop giving her money and allowing her to keep staying with her after she would steal and lie. My mother protected my sister and my sister continued to do what she did until she died. She was only 37 years old. She remained in a coma for almost 7 months before she p*****ed and I was at her side almost every day. I cried the night she died and I also blamed myself because I felt that I could have tried harder to stop her. In truth, I did all I could do and I hope that Jennifer realizes that there was nothing more she could have done. Jennifer knows what her brother was doing and so did her mother. They also knew that the men in Julia’s life were worthless. These are some of life’s lessons that we would really Not like to learn, but hopefully this tragedy will cause some individuals to wake up and turn their lives around. My heart sobbed for Julian-he didn’t have a choice-

    The only person that should be blaming herself is Julia. People take a close look at Julia’s face because she is the face of the killer. Lets look at the facts: (1) Darnell and Jason were killed in the early morning hours correct– Julia posted on her my*****e page that she relied on her brother to take her back and forth to work after the husband sold her car. What she did not say was that he sold the car because she was not making the payments. While she called the police on him, he was not arrested so no harm no foul. Ask yourself, how did Julia get to work on this day if Jason was home? (2) William Balfour clearly moved on with his life, at the time he was arrested he was at the home of his pregnant girlfriend, plus had another chick on the side, does not sound like he was angry with being “thrown out” of the Hudson home nor does he sound like he was obsessed with Julia to me. (3)The murder weapon belonged to Jason, which he reported to a friend had been stolen a few months ago, William Balfour has been out of the house since last winter, so who else had access? (4) At the press conference Julia failed to identify her son by his name, she referred to him as “the baby” she also indicated that “the baby dont deserve this, he has nothing to do with it.” Ask yourself what does she mean when she says he has nothing to do with it and do with what? Additionally, she was fresh from head to toe, hair freshly done, new outfit. Parents, I ask you when your child is missing do you go get your hair done or shop for a new outfit hell no you go on tv looking a wreck because you’ve been crying and cant sleep. What parent would not be overcome with emotion when pleading for the safe return of her son. It took every ounce of life long sadness just to get this chicks eyes to water for the cameras, she did not shed one tear, can you say Susan Smith(5) The entire time her son was missing Julia was logging into my*****e, in fact on that Sunday before they found Julian’s little body, someone left a message on Julia’s coment page saying “Thanks for the add… my condolences got out to you and your family” which indicates she was on my*****e adding people as friends not looking for her missing son as she stated. (6)Pictures on my*****e of Jennifer with comments from Julia would suggest that Julia is jealous of her. (7)With all the time Julia has spent on my*****e she has yet to remove William Balfour from her top three friends. (8) William Balfour threatened to take Julian away from Julia, they were in a custody battle at the time of the murders, this man was not his father yet he was willing to take on that responsibility and went a step further by fighting for him, why would he kill him and if he had beef with Julia, why would he kill everyone except her that ***** dont add up and it dont make no sense. Julia killed her family and the police need to look at her more closely. Little Julian was shot twice in the back of the head which means the killer would not face him. the others were shot at point blank range.

    @Phat

    I agree with alot of what you’re saying,however, eventhough William was not living at house any longer, Julia was still having involvement with him. There was ALOT going on at that house that we still have not heard. Yes, the Jason did have a gun like the one that killed them (I was told this before it was on any website from neighborhood ppl)and Jason also left his mother’s house sometime after that drug raid and moved to either St. Louis or Detroit (I can’t remember which) – only came back after he was shot. He probably bought (or stole) that gun from someone and that’s how it got from the original owner to Chicago (happens all the time). People talk about how nice Jason was, how friendly he was, how he loved to bar-b-que in the front yard—Jason SOLD DRUGS-and there is nothing nice about that. You cannot be a “nice person” and put drugs into the hands/body of other human beings. Julia is not innocent in this, but there’s things that the police have not divulged (and they should not).

    someone made this point at work. But if the murderer was involved with the family, it wouldnt matter WHERE they lived. He/she woulda found them.

    well on nancy grace they basically said dude is gonna rot in there at least until the 10th when he has his violation hearing – after that, they HAVE to charge him or LET HIM GO – and they should have the prints [if any] by now – plus some of the undercover shots .. which keep showing the same two guys [blurred faces] at 12:30 when william was supposedly picked up

  81. p*****ion

    @ Rena I haven’t seen any undercover shots of two guys — where are you seeing that?

    J Hud and family have always had God in their life, and his strength will get them through. JHud will naturally go through a series of emotions in order to grieve. One of the emotions will be blame and guilt. But time will prove to the Hudsons that the ONLY person responsible for this is the person who pulled the trigger – not Jennifer and not Julia. We all make mistakes and questionable choices in life, but a bad choice should not equal a death sentence, *****ody deserves that. God Bless

    Realness lol, I am just telling you how it is. I am from the southside born and raised, BOSS PIMP CITY, and I moved aways from that to better myself, as I am a college graduate, and a youth counselor, i frequent bossip just to see whas going on, but I do my part to help the misguided youth, who like solja boy believe life is all about ice and gucci scarves.

    And to say Englewood has problems is an understatement. Chicago is going to be the murder capital again. I stand behind what I said. You may have love for the street, but they SPARE NO ONE!!!

    While he was still ahving involvement with Julia he was not allowed in the Hudson house, thats a statement that has been repeated over and over, and that is not to say that she could not have snuck him in the house. But lets be serious, Julia Hudson is a cold hearted calculated killer. Who knows wht her motive was but mark this day cause when they announce it was her I want you to remember that PHAT said it first.

    And to all of you that believe Jason was not a good person simply because he made the mistake of selling drugs you all need to take a look in the mirror, cause I can pretty much *****ure you that we all have had a least one person in our family that has done the same and that did not make them a bad person it simply made them misguided.

    I have to admit that I was shocked to see where her mom was residing. It looked totally dilapidated and due to her daughters new found success and status the mother should have moved–not necessarily to Hollywood–but to a community with a better quality of living standards.

  87. p*****ion

    @ Phat – if your thoughts turn out to be right, I’ll most certainly give you your “kudos”!(but I hope you’re wrong because that is just something that would be horrific) And yes, I’ve known individuals that sold drugs, and I don’t think they’re “mis-guided”, I think they’re WRONG! I’ve seen what drugs can do to people and children that are born drug addicted, (it’s heartbreaking) so I have no sympathy or comp*****ion – they know what it does to lives.

    I am sure Jennifer wanted to move her family but if any of you have had a stubborn parent, you know how difficult that could be.

    I could imagine Jennifer’s mother didn’t want to move because she didn’t want Jennifer spending her earned money on them.

    I hate to speculate and give a negative opinion but I will say (without truly knowing all of the facts), both Jason and Julia were adults and should have been making a way for themselves.

    It could have been a good idea to move her mother and let her siblings do what they needed to do to make it. But I’m sure her mother felt a responsibility to the other children who may have been having some difficulties in life.

    YOOOOOOO WHERE’S MY PREVIOUS COMMENT BOSSIP???????

  90. jo

    WHY MY COMMENTS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE MODERATED???? WXACTLY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? THIS IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH ISNT IT??? FIRST MY COMMENTS THERE, THEN WHEN I LEAVE AND COME BACK IT’S GONE????? WTF IS UP HERE??????


  91. First and foremost I send blessings for Jennifer and Julia. May the Creator be with both of you during this hard time in your lives.

    I too have questions about all of this and while William had involvement in this I believe Jason is the cause for the death of his family and self. He had received a gun shot in his leg a while before all this happened on Oct 24th and did not call the police or go to the hospital for treatment. This suggest that either the bullet was still in his leg or he removed it with the help perhaps of a family member. Why? what was he doing???

    To the writer who asked how Julia got to work on the morning of the killings, perhaps her bro took her and came back home. But it was no question Jason knew the person(s) at the door of the family’s home. It is quite possible that William stole the gun when he lived there, real sad but statistics state that most people are killed with their own guns. We must stop the violence in our neighborhoods. Grab a book, pull up your pants brothers and put down the guns and turn down the loud music. It is time to become the original folk who we are. Just thiknk what we could do in America if we were positive and productive in great numbers?!

    It is amazing that an African American decendant had to come along and become the leader this country of American Africians. It is long over due that we stand up and be counted for something positive and not do evil’s work any longer. We are killing ourselves. Stop the violence and the stupidity.Let’s return to the leaders who built Egypt and placed the stars in the sky. If our people could do these great things surely we can find some brotherly and sisterly love for each otherand stop warehousing ourselves in Great numbers. It starts at home and then spreads–so let’s do our parts, let’s make a mark again on this earth.

    Let’s truely over come.

    Sad but the gun was stolen in the first place. I ask what types of jobs did the mother and brother have if any? It was a Friday and most productive people are working at those hoursor trying to get some sleep so that they can go at a later time.

    I believe gang members killed Julian, a sort of jump-in to the gang…poor baby.

    Julia, you should stay off of my*****e. You only make yourself look real stupid and at a time such as this, it is no place for you. Instead you should seek some psychological help and stop hating your sister for her achievements. Look into your self and find who you are and make something of yourself. Your sister is your example of what you can do too. Jennifer, you are Magic, you are much loved. You will get p***** all of this guilt, it is not your fault, my sister. We choose our destiny.

    We get all hung up but the fact is the agreement to life is death and we get all hung up on how we leave this earth. The Creator makes no mistakes and they were called home. Just as them we all must one day meet our demise no one lives forever. It is too bad that the coward that killed Julian did so to his back. Was he driving when this occurred or did he have help?! The Universe has something real special for him/them.

    Julia has no self esteem and when we don’t love ourselves we set ourselves up for all sort of of tragedies. As you can see big sister, niether guy grounded you, you must do this for yourself find your own self worth.

    I pray justice will follow.

    Much Love, Destaney
