Update 3: Jennifer Hudson’s Mother and Brother Shot to Death

Jennifer had to identify the body of her nephew, Julian King:

The Oscar-winning actress and singer, who grew up in the Windy City, journeyed to the coroner’s office, where the body of little Julian King lay on a gurney covered with a white sheet. “Yes, that is him,” Hudson said quietly when she saw the boy’s face on a video screen, said Sean Howard, a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner’s office. For Hudson, whose mother and brother were found slain Friday, it brought the devastating death toll in her family to three. Still, she did not buckle under the grief: “She was just brilliant and strong,” Howard said. “Her last words to me were, ‘Just tell the general public once again to respect my family’s privacy.’”Hudson said her faith in Jesus Christ “was going to get her through that,” Howard said. “Those were her words.”As she left the facility, Hudson’s bodyguards held umbrellas to hide her anguish. Nobody has been charged with the murders, but cops are holding William (Flex) Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, at a state prison for a parole violation. “We’re following any lead we can get right now,” said city Police Superintendent Jody Weis. The Chicago Sun-Times reported Julian had been shot once in the head and was dressed in basketball shorts and a stained white T-shirt. Source
How she’s finding the strength, even with God’s help, is beyond me. I’m thinking that the shock of all of this has her running on auto pilot.

In other J-Hud News…
Tiffany “New York” Pollard, who dated Jennifer’s fiancé on the show “I Love New York 2” apologizes to Jenn and offers her condolences. A while back New York said some not so nice things about Jenn and her fiancé David Otenga. In light of all that Jennifer is going through I’m sure she’s not in the least bit worried about New York.
The video of her apology is below:
