Jennifer Hudson Reacts to Getting Hit By a Basketball & Shares Knicks Player’s Sweet Apology

Jennifer Hudson talked about getting hit by a basketball at a New York Knicks game on her talk show. Watch and what she said.

The episode comes more than a week after the vocalist went viral over the mishap at the March 4 Knicks vs. Golden State Warriors game, where she was sitting courtside and chatting with partner Common when suddenly, a rogue ball came out of nowhere and smacked her in the head. Hudson also added that she was better prepared for the blow than most because she’s “a boy mom.” “What that means is, I have been on the basketball court many a days playing with these children, so they trained momma well to be able to take the game,” said the Dreamgirls actress, who shares son Daniel with ex David Otunga. In fact, the point guard ended up sending the American Idol alum a bouquet of flowers and an apology video, which she played for her audience.
