It’s been four years since Jennifer Hudson’s mother, nephew and brother were murdered by William Balfour, the estranged husband of her sister, Julia. Jennifer sat down with Oprah to reflect on some of the gifts her mother left her with and how the loss of her family has impacted her. Her fiancé, David Otunga, joined her during one part of the interview to discuss their future plans as a family.
She even reveals that while filming for Dreamgirls, she was summoned to have her lip injected.
“When I did Dreamgirls I actually had to get my dent right here injected because it was affecting the lighting,” she says pointing at her lip. “When I got it done, the doctor was like: ‘I do not want to do this do you realize people come in here and pay to have the lips you have naturally.’ And I was like: ‘I don’t want to but I have to for the movie!’”
The full interview airs tonight at 9/8c on OWN.
