Through adversity Jennifer Hudson has shown why she really is an American Idol and quite possibly the strongest woman in showbiz. In 2012 her brother-in-law was jailed for murdering Jennifer's mum, brother and seven year old nephew and now her half brother is been held for allegedly stabbing a love rival in the face.
Jen's brother Stephen Simpson allegedly attacked the man on Monday night at her apartment in Michigan, US news channel WWMT reports. He is being held in custody and is expected to be charged with attempted murder and home invasion.
Jennifer, 32, had the same dad as 45-year-old Simpson. In 2008 her mother, brother and nephew were murdered. William Belfour (below), the estranged husband of her sister Julia, was convicted for the crime and handed three life sentences.
But through it all Jennifer is still staying strong. Last year he DreamGirls actress landed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaking about the incredible achievement, she said: "Look what God can do.
"I knew I would get emotional and I'm sure my mum is in heaven like 'Jenny stop crying' but now's the time to cry mama, it is."
"This is an amazing honour as we all know and I did not see this coming.
"I'm so honoured to be here with so many that I love and I feel as though we're all a family."
She showed her love for assistant Walter when she bought him a house - yes a house for Christmas.
Her weight has fluctuated over the last few years. In march she announced she was stepping down as a Weightwatchers spokesperson after representing them for four years losing an impressive 80lbs in four years.
Jen went from a size 16 to a size 6 but her dieting willpower is nothing compared to the strength she's shown through her recent family tragedy which shows she really is the strongest woman in showbiz!
