I applaud Jennifer Hudson for not giving up on her dreams. I am rooting for her to win the Oscar Award.
Oscar-nominated actress and singer Jennifer Hudson got her start as a contestant on “American Idol,” but her big break isn’t exactly a fond memory. In fact, the breakout star of “Dreamgirls” reveals being put through the “Idol” wringer was a traumatic experience that made her feel “abused.”
“On ‘American Idol,’ you go through this mental thing; you’ve got to get yourself back together,” Jennifer explains in the new issue of Essence, on the cover of which she looks radiant. “You’ve been abused, misled and brainwashed to believe whatever they want you to think. You become a character.”
