David Otunga and award winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson have split up, and it’s not amicable. The news broke yesterday that Hudson has filed for a protective order against her former fiancée, who is a commentator for WWE.
“Today, Jennifer requested and received a protective order against her ex-fiancé. Jennifer’s actions are solely taken in the best interest of their son.”
The couple had been together for 10 years, but have apparently been in the process of ending their relationship for months.
Otunga released his own statement concerning the situation.
“David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now.
“However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in the custody dispute.
“As a result of Mr. Otunga’s career in the WWE, Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim. Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son, and it is unfortunate, especially in today’s climate, that she would feel the need to make these false allegations against him. Mr. Otunga looks forward to his day in court and in being awarded the residential care of the parties’ only child.”
It will be interesting to see what, if any action, WWE takes against Otunga. The circumstances surrounding the protective order aren’t known right now, but this can’t be good publicity for WWE, especially in the current social climate. It has long been speculated that Otunga has been kept as an employee by WWE due to his ties with the high-profile actress, and in the midst of all their cost cutting measures, Otunga’s future with the company may now be in question.
