Why Does Everyone Hate on Jennifer Hudson?

I remember when she first lost the weight. Everybody was like, "Man, Jennifer don' sold out man. She don' got famous and wahts to lose the weight. She was supposed to represent for the big girls!" Just talking down on the poor girl because she cared about her body. Maybe the spotlight had a bit to do with it; maybe it was her health. Who knows! But, how many people remember her original American Idol audition?

She wasn't "original" Jennifer that we had all seen in Dreamgirls and other movies. She was small. I'm just saying, people hated on her for no reason; go back to when she FIRST got on TV, and you'll see that she was rediscovering HERSELF!

    i think that the reason for the hate could be a stereotype people give celebrities cause they are famous and have access to alot of things we don't in weight loss. Yes it's wrong to judge her just cause she a celebrity had she not had that status things would be different.

    Seriously.....who is Jennifer Hudson? The chick in 'Dreamgirls'? I thought she had her 15 minutes of fame and fell off the radar. Haven't heard anyone (much less 'everyone') hating on her. Then again, perhaps I just run in the wrong circles.
  • Not being snarky, but is that a serious or sarcastic question?

    She was a contestant on American Idol, recognized for her one of a kind diva voice, was the star on dream girls the movie.

    And it the spokesperson celebrity for weight watchers.
  • That's a broad, sweeping statement. I certainly don't hate her. I don't even know her, personally.

    Based on what you said, it sounds like they hate on her because she has done something they know they should do or want to do but haven't. Some people try to build themselves up by knocking other people down. Doesn't work. I applaud her for losing the weight - she looks fantastic, and I'll bet she has a lot more energy.

    I'm not hating on JHud. The girl has pipes and she looks good. I just want to know if she lost weight the natural way. She gives that impression of natural weight loss. If you had surgery don't pretend as if you lost all your weight on a food plan and exercise. I'm not sure why but it seems to have happened overnight.

    Star Jones tried to hide the surgery but eventually caved in. I appreciate honesty. It's not fair to mislead the masses into a fad diet only to discover the fad diet doesn't work.

    She was the first woman to dig out a river - they named a river after her. The Hudson.

    I've never heard a single person hate on her.
  • She definitely didn't have surgery, and wasn't over night. I think she started in 2010 sometime.

    They aired a segment how she lost weight with weight watchers with her leader.

    She was on many different shows such as Dr.OZ etc.

    Yes, was a serious question but now that I googled her, I recognize her from her WW ads.

    @OP: Don't really care what happens to her body. I am sure the media pays enough attention to these over paid talentless hacks (media doesn't support good talent lately so I am assuming). They won't be missing out when I say who the heck care...

    I don't watch American Idol and do not have television service so I don't see commercials. I was being serious that I had no idea who this woman was.

    So she sings and lost weight and is a weight watchers spokesperson now? I've not heard her mentioned and do not see her in the gossip magazines so not sure of the hate you mention here.
  • She was on idol years ago.

    She is the face of WW...

    Honestly, she is talented, and she has lost weight and she looks great. She looks healthy.

    Someone will always have something to say about a celebrity, in positive or negative light.

    No I was being serious. Some of us really have better things to worry about. You know, like a huge gang fight going on around my city and hearing gun shots all around like this is downtown Beirut back in the days. Probably gonna hear about a bomb blast or 2 in news tomorrow

    Some of us REALLY don't care.

    Good for her for losing the weight though. Hopefully she inspires some fans of her

    Didn't say that you had to care, and didn't say that I did. I just happen to know her story, and her face is everywhere, I was just surprised that many wasn't aware of who she was.

    Ok, if you don't know who J. Hud is, I understand. She didn't really "fall off the radar" or anything; it's just one of those things that you may have seen her or may not have. If you don't watch TV, cool; I don't watch TV either, or at least nothing I wanna watch. I'm just a fan of R&B and I remember when she lost the weight and people (or at least people I know, and I've seen it on TV too) were talking down on her. It was just a post; not meant for anyone to be "mad" because I watch TV and listen to music.

    I don't think anyone is mad about you watching tv or listening to music. lol. And I don't think anyone was mad about anything else on the post either :)

    Same here! After hearing she lost all that weight and got paid by Weight Watchers I was one of the many people cheering her on. She's actually one of my inspirations for getting healthy.

    The "Some of us REALLY don't care" made me think someone was, not mad, but had bad thoughts about me wondering about J. Hud. Lol

    the people who ate on her i've found tend to be overweight women who want to use the fact that they have big bones or any other similar excuse to not lose weight. at one point i think jhud said the same thing. in any case her weight loss (and she looks fabulous) sort of leaves those people without an excuse so thhen they compensate by hating on her.
