Jennifer Hudson -- Liar, Ingrate?

Click to return to TMZ.comJennifer Hudson has been trash-talking "American Idol" and dissing on Simon Cowell. But the video evidence makes it clear -- the Dreamgirl is dreaming it all up.

"EXTRA" rolled back the tapes of Hudson on "Idol," and Simon clearly gave her props throughout the season, saying that she was a "front-runner" and calling her "great" multiple times -- high praise from the often harsh Cowell.

Why would Hudson rant about the show and the judge who moved her from obscurity to Oscar winner? Is she an ingrate? Watch the video, then vote.

1. Honestly, I can't stand Jennifer Hudson. I think she only won the Oscar because everyone jumped on the bandwagon. For one thing she is a total fat-ass. It's NOT HEALTHY - it's GROSS. Second, she seems like she thinks she is entitled, as evidenced by her trash talking of American Idol. To add to my disdain for this chick she gets up on stage and thanks God for all her awards - like God really gives a shit about Jennifer Hudson's role in Dreamgirls. Give me a break. God is busy in Iraq sweetheart and dealing with issues that matter like cancer. These celebs have such overblown egos it amazes me. Jennifer Hudson winning the Oscar was a fluke.

2. I'm not sure about her ingrate status, but she is ungrateful for what he has afforded her.

3. She got her statues. Now is the time she has to diss the people who helped her so it will look like she did it all on her own.
It went to her head and how fast it did.

4. Jennifer Hudson will probably never be heard from again after this awards season. She REALLY has a BIG MOUTH and isn't the least bit attractive. She came across a role at the right place and right time. It won't happen again for her. She is and has insulted too many people at this point. AND, nobody is buying her "I love Jesus" act.

The sooner she is gone from the public eye, THE BETTER!

6. Why is it that everyone seems to forget that America votes for American Idol, not Simon or Randy or Paula. The American people vote those singers off each week and then slam Simon for not recognizing the talent. Simon is not responsible for Jennifer leaving the show. He, Paula, and Randy even made a comment last week about not understanding how the public voted off the last male and female of the show and reiterated that it was a singing competition and nothing else.

7. Slimon never wanted her to win. Please. he always made fun of her weight. He hates overweight woman with a passion. You will never see a overwoman with AI because he thinks they cant sell records. Slimon says alot of things but you cant take him seriously. He is a liar and a fake.

8. Jennifer Hudson got lucky and she should be more grateful. She'll be back on the south side of Chicago working at McDonalds if she doesn't watch it.

9. Overweight ugly people don't sell records. Why do you think Chris Daughtry (hot) and Carrie Underwood (hot) are far more successful then Taylor Hicks (ugly) and Fantasia (uglier)? Duh, this is business and a fatty like Jennifer Hudson needs to be nice because she doesn't have the looks to back up that sh*tty attitude of hers.

11. She has shown what kind of person she is already.

12. I've seen way to much of her already - her 15 minutes are up.

13. She better watch her mouth! She sure doesn't want to get into it with Simon! He always has the last word and laugh.

14. Does it matter? She ain't gonna be shit after her oscar crap. Maybe make an album that flops, one more movie role and then she'll be done!

15. Simon tells the truth. He does not want overweight people to win. It is not healthy to be overweight anyway. Jennifer better put the porkchop down and get to the gym before her 15 minutes are over. Piggy!
