What Happened to Jennifer Hudson’s Family?

“For the most part, it’s not his fault,” Jennifer said of her ex-brother-in-law, adding, “It’s what he was taught, how he was brought up.”

Jennifer explained that, unlike Balfour, her mother’s values kept her or her family from making the same bad decisions he made.

“You never had a chance,” she said of Balfour. “Had you had the love my mother gave us, or the background that some have, then you would’ve stood a chance.”
