Jennifer Hudson Hit in the Face With Rogue Basketball at New York Knicks Game


Jennifer Hudson was hit in the face with a basketball at a New York Knicks game.

Jennifer Hudson inadvertently became part of the action at a New York Knicks game Tuesday (March 4), with the vocalist taking a basketball to the face in a moment that’s going viral on social media. Suddenly, a rogue ball comes flying and hits her in the head — knocking off her glasses as the “Go!” artist attempts in vain to shield his partner — while point guard Miles McBride comes crashing into her seat. In the aftermath, the bewildered Dreamgirls star shakes her head and appears to say, “Wow,” as McBride checks to see if she’s OK. Common pulls her in for a comforting hug and Hudson readjusts her glasses, which the scuffle had knocked awry seconds before.
