American Idol judges, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, have expressed their sadness over the tragic killings of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother and, sadly, her 7-year-old nephew: “This is a horrific tragedy and my thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer and her entire family,” Abdul said. “The time I had to get to know Jennifer and forge a wonderful friendship with her while she was on Idol was very special to me, and I personally can’t imagine a greater loss for any family.”
Simon echoed those sentiments: “I was horrified when I heard the news. This is an appalling tragedy. My thoughts right now are with Jennifer, and her family.”
I still can’t believe this happened. My heart is really broken for that family.
