Jennifer Hudson Still Not Ready to Work

Jennifer HudsonJennifer Hudson was scheduled to begin shooting the video for her next single, "If It Isn't Love" next week, but has put the brakes on going back to work.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that JHud had decided to return to work, because she had been on hiatus since the October killings of her mother, brother and nephew. A source tells Us Weekly, "The video was set up before the tragedy and she felt like she should finish what she started, but she's realized that she's not ready to go back to work."

A rep for Hudson, however, calls the original video plans speculation. Jennifer's brother-in-law William Balfour was officially charged with the murders December 2.

16. I don't know why people are so negative toward Jennifer, she is a sweet loving person who family has been taken from her. It's people like TM, Banica & puppies are soft, who are troubled, and will find themselves on judgment day begging to get into the gates of heaven. The three of you will bust HELL wide open. May God have mercy on you souls!!!!!!!!

17. 13. She has had plenty of time to get over this. Grow up, get back and do the job you promised someone. Obviously, professionalism is not her strong suit.

You are one dumb b!tch. She lost 3 members of her family only a couple of months ago. Who are you to judge she had enough time to grieve? Professionalism? It should always be family over work. People like you are never happy. If she went back to her career too early you would still be criticizing her. I'm glad I'm not living your miserable, warped life. You better hope that karma does not come around and bite you in the ass.

18. hopefully she never comes back! She has no talent and shouldn't do anything except hide for the rest of her life. Please do us all a favor and stay away from hollywood or any type of camera, period. Just becuase you can scream at the top of your lungs doesn't mean you can sing, let alone act. Ya'll losers who admire her need to take a step back, look in the mirror, and then do something for yourself instead of trying to live other peoples lives.

19. She lost 3 members of her family! What do they expect from her? It's understandable that she needs time to get ready to go back to work. All you haters are just jealous of her talent and success, so pathetic with your name calling...GET OVER I
And to Bianca, how about you have 3 members of your family murdered and then tell me how you're doing 3 months after that. You're not too bright are you?

Trying to live the lives of others? Not at all. It's called having empathy for a fellow human. And as far as her talent goes, that is your opinion alone and obviously not everyone shares it. I think it's time you reflect on your life and ask yourself what went wrong.

21. I hope she takes all the time she needs--her fans, while continuing to pray for her, will be there when she's ready. \
We love you Jen--take care of yourself.

23. I'm glad she decided not to go back to work.......It's just too early..with christmas almost here n all. It's gonna take at least 2-3 years for her to heal,,,,,,, and for all of you leaving those nasty comments about her and her family I bet you're the ones with the most dysfunctional families.....You make the Simpsons and Family Guy families look like the fu****g Cosby's. I bet you guys live in the trailer park with the shag carpet outside a couch a lawn chair and a 12 pack of Budweiser in your backyard...

25. Thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer. No one can blame her for taking time off. This has to be a very hard time for her especially around the holidays. I hope she surrounds herself with friends and family during this time.

26. SHE LOST THREE MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY BECAUSE THEY CHOSE TO SELL DRUGS AND ENTERED INTO
A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.
THESE PEOPLE WERE SELLING DRUGS TO ANYONE IN THEIR COMMUNITY WHO WOULD BUY THEM
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN
THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS
WHO SAYS JULIA BROUGHT A THUG AND CONVICTED FELON INTO THE FAMILY. SHE HAD A BABY BY A THUG
AND CONVICTED FELON.
HER BROTHER AND MOTHER SHARE THE SAME LABEL OF THUGS. JENNIFER ALWAYS KNEW OF THEIR CONNECTIONS AND WHEN THEIR HOME WAS RAIDED THEY USED HER CELEBRIALITY TO GET OUT OF IT
SO STOP THE POOR JENNIFER
IF IT WERE NOT FOR A DRUG DEAL OR DRUG DEBT GONE BAD HER ENTIRE FAMILY WOULD BE ALIVE, SHE WOULD
CONTINUE SENDING THEM MONEY AND PRETEND SHE WAS NOT INVOLVED.

29. JAKE D, WOW I CANT EVEN BELIEVE YOU HAD THE NERVE TO POST A COMMENT LIKE THAT. REALLY SAD AND HEARTBREAKING TO THINK THAT SOMEONE COULD FEEL THAT WAY AFTER A SWEET LITTLE INNOCENT BOY WAS KILLED FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!!

30. I wish Jennifer the best in coming to terms with everything that has happened to her, and around her. Remember that she is not only grieving the loss of family members, but certainly still stressed and worried about what's to come in the months ahead. Those who lose loved ones to acts of violence sometimes find a degree of closure when the killer is apprehended, charged, and convicted. But the process won't be that simple here. Everyone who's been following the case knows that it isn't going to be "solved" just by having folks from the State's Attorney's Office state publicly that William Balfour is the person solely responsible. A trial in a court of law is different. More facts will become known. And, as the truth comes to light, regarding the "others" involved, there will be more challenges to face. I think it will be best for Jennifer to stay out of the public view as much as possible as she does this.
