Is it true your fiance is a law graduate, Harvard Law?’ But he’s also a wrestler. Which makes no sense to me at all. There can’t be many people in the world who are like, ‘I’m going to be a WWE wrestler and have my law degree from Harvard to fall back on.’

You Will anthem released
OWN adopts You Will as its network anthem. The song was composed by Warren and is sung by Hudson and Nettles in their first-ever duet. RCA Records released the single. The song will premiere during the season finale of The Haves and the Have Nots. Oprah:
I was so touched when Diane Warren came to me and said she wrote a song with OWN in mind. And then to have Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Nettles bring the song to life with their stunning collaboration…what a gift.
Warren:
The sentiment of my song is that you should never give up on your dreams, own every breath, own every minute, go live a life that’s got no limits. You can do anything. It’s as simple as never think you won’t, and you will.

Look what God can do. I knew I would get emotional, and I’m sure my mom is in heaven like ‘Jenny stop crying’ but now’s the time to cry mama, it is. This is an amazing honor as we all know, and I did not see this coming. I’m so honored to be here with so many that I love and I feel as though we’re all a family.
Jennifer Hudson interview

It’s OK. I’m fine with that. Either way, I really want a little girl and munchkin wants a little sister. He tells me every day, Mommy, I want a baby sister.
Trial and sentencing
Balfour is found guilty of shooting Hudson’s family in a jealous rage and is sentenced to three terms of prison plus 120 years for home evasion and kidnapping. Hudson:
Yes, because I feel like for the most part it’s not his fault. It’s how he was brought up. We tried to offer love, but you were so far gone, that you couldn’t even see that. A lot of things came out, that we didn’t even know about, from his upbringing, which is like he never had a chance. Had you had the love my mother gave us, or the background that some have, then you would’ve stood a chance.

Why does image matter. Why can’t it just be about the talent. Only those who have went through this kind of experience will fully understand how different it is being on both sides of the fence. It is so interesting to see how differently you are treated.
