Jennifer Hudson sparks uproar over VERY awkward interview with Eddie Murphy
Jennifer Hudson has been slammed by furious fans over her very awkward interview with Eddie Murphy.
On Thursday, the actor, 64, appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to reveal that his son, Eric, had secretly married.
The proud dad said Eric had wed long-time friend Martin Lawrence's daughter Jasmin after four years of dating.
However, during Jennifer's interview about the ceremony, her responses fell short and fans argued that she 'didn't listen' to his answers.
Jennifer, 43, started by asking Eddie: 'Are you going to sing at your son's… Or is it your daughter's wedding, right?'
Eddie quickly responded that it was his son who had actually gotten married two weeks prior.
'They went off. Everybody was making the big wedding plans, then they decided they wanted to do something quiet, with just the two of them, and they got married,' he revealed.
'Now Martin doesn't have to pay for the big wedding now.'
After his response, Jennifer, once again, asked if Eddie sang for the wedding.
'No, they didn't have a wedding!' he detailed, to which Jennifer replied: 'Oh no?'
Eddie continued: 'No, they went off and got married in the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing.
'I think we'll have a big party or something, they ran off and got married.'
Jennifer then asked if the comedian would sing at the future party.
'Will I sing at the wedding? No, I ain't singing,' he humored in the awkward back and forth.
People quickly noticed the disjointed exchange between the stars and ran to X, formerly known as Twitter, to mock Jennifer.
One user posted alongside the video, writing: 'Jennifer is a TERRIBLE HOST!'
'Lmaooo it's actually incredible how bad she is. The man said they went off just the two of them went off and got married.
'She's gonna then ask him, "Did you sing at the wedding." Baby, pay attention, omg.'
Many other people commented in agreement.
'Omg, I didn't even notice she didn't have cards. She needs them bad!' another said.
'It's so painful to watch all the time,' a comment read.
'She doesn't listen to a single thing people say,' someone said.
'She asked him THREE times, 'Are you going to sing?' WOMAN THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED MY GOD,' a user passionately wrote.
'You can really tell she has a list of questions and is not listening to people's answers,' a person shared.
'That's the difference between a journalist and a celebrity with a talk show,' another said.
It comes after Jennifer had another awkward exchange in an interview with singer Kesha.
In May, Kesha excitedly shared that she had been an extra in Dreamgirls, the 2006 movie that catapulted Jennifer to stardom and won her an Academy Award.
After reacting with what seemed like exaggerated shock, Jennifer neglected to do anything to push the topic forward - not even asking what scene Kesha was in.
Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their wincing reactions to the moment, calling Jennifer a 'weird' and 'TURRIBLE interviewer' and the show 'unwatchable.'
On the show, Kesha said: 'I was an extra on Dreamgirls,' and Jennifer replied with extravagant theatricality: 'What? Really?'
'Serious, Bible,' said Kesha, putting her hand up, before quipping that she was paid about $120, to which Jennifer threw her head back and said: 'I love you.'
Kesha valiantly tried to keep the anecdote afloat, saying: 'For 16 hours I sat there with my hair teased to the gods. Oh my God, I - no offense - I hated it.'
The TikTok hitmaker still received no help from Jennifer in keeping the conversation moving, so she lamely trailed off: 'Y'all were amazing, we were just - an extra in a scene, it was a big auditorium, downtown LA.'

Dani Dyer parties into the early hours after Bridgerton themed wedding in a racy lace mini as father of the bride Danny kicks off the reception with rude West Ham anthem
Love Island star Dani Dyer married West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen on Saturday in a lavish stately home ceremony surrounded by their celeb pals. And after the Bridgeton themed ceremony, it was time for the couple to let their hair down at a raucous reception. The bride spent Sunday reposting stunning social media snaps from her friends and family who gathered at the luxury five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire for the big day. After wowing in a £10,000 designer gown by Suzanne Neville for the ceremony, Dani changed into a stunning lace mini dress with new photos showing the beaming bride dancing late into the night. The fun was kicked off by father of the bride Danny Dyer who led a wedding breakfast chant of the rude West Ham anthem, 'Bowen's on fire and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer,' to the 1997 hit Freed from Desire. TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou shared photos on Instagram as she shared drinks and the dancefloor with Dani. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Dani looked incredible in her second dress, whilst Georgia wowed in a custom baby blue gown. Speaking on her joint podcast with her dad Danny Dyer, Dani revealed she was keeping her first wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition. 'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared. 'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!' The wedding took place at the five star Langley Hotel, which sits on the estate of the third Duke of Marlborough, in former royal hunting grounds. Since the nuptials, Dani has shared a slew of snaps and videos across her socials, including one sweet image of her children, son Santiago, four, who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence, and twins Summer and Star, two, who she shares with Jarrod, glancing out the window, while their grandfather Danny Dyer watched on. Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters were flower girls, with her son and brother Arty, 11, as page boys. Her sister Sunnie was one of six bridesmaids, who all wowed in matching one shoulder pink dresses. Sunnie, 18, also had a role during the ceremony as she read a poem from Sex and The City's wedding scene, which went: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. 'His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.' Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day. Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.' Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrell surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen. She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'

I've styled Adele and Jennifer Lawrence. These are my fashion rules
Stylist Jamie Mizrahi is used to dressing A-listers for high-profile appearances that come to define their singular style. The looks she puts together often have a transformative effect – see Mikey Madison blooming in Miu Miu and Dior gowns on her award-winning Anora press run, or Adele channelling Old Hollywood glamour in Schiaparelli and Armani throughout her Vegas residency. Then there's Jennifer Lawrence, who aces everything from recent Dior-clad Cannes appearances to off-duty looks that somehow make The Row feel even more covetable. Mizrahi is the architect behind all these acts of sartorial self-realisation, so effective that she's rumoured to have been consulted by the Duchess of Sussex when she shifted stylistic gear from royal refinement to Montecito minimalism. Mizrahi categorically does not comment on Meghan, and is admirably discreet about her star-studded client list. She does, however, share insights about the balance she aims to strike with each one of them. 'It's about infusing personal style with people's own wardrobe, while obviously implementing new pieces and accessories,' she says. 'I like to integrate a client's street style into their red carpet looks to make sure it's cohesive and there's a story being told of who you are off the red carpet as well as on it.' As for those of us who are not red carpet regulars, some of Mizrahi's rules still very much apply, and she has a few key tips for those looking to put together outfits that feel considered. 'I always think it's good to put together a mood board of other people's style,' she says. 'Look at people you admire then figure out ways you can integrate their style into your own wardrobe. If you really look at what you have you'll probably find you don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe to achieve this.' She gathers inspiration in this way with all of her clients and, she adds, herself. The Mizrahi mood board changes seasonally but consistently features a 'ton' of images of Jackie Kennedy, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and other understated style icons. 'I really do truly believe in classic, solid pieces and being able to interchange them,' she says. 'I want to invest in pieces that are timeless and kind of non-descript – no logos, no print, so you can wear them repeatedly.' On the list of key items? A 'perfect' black blazer, a black slip dress, a white T-shirt, a black T-shirt, a pair of jeans, a pair of black trousers, a trench coat, and a shirt. The value of each piece is its versatility, she explains: 'You could wear the shirt around your waist, around your shoulders, over a slip dress or as more of a 'jacket' over one of your T-shirts.' As for where to find them, Mizrahi has a fondness for affordable pieces as well as designer gowns, citing Uniqlo, Gap and Cos as favourites, as well as online sources like Depop and Etsy. Another brand with which she has a longstanding affinity is Californian footwear label Tom's, which she has known since it opened its first store in Venice, LA. She's designed a limited-edition capsule for the brand, reimagining its 'easiest most wearable' slip-on 'Alpargata' style in water- and stain-repellent suede. She says the experience was nostalgic, but focused on one thing above all: comfort. 'It's about wearing things that can get you right and feeling at ease,' she says. 'And I think that right now, especially given the state of the world and how fast everyone's moving, we just want ease and comfort, while also being chic.' They might not fly on the Cannes red carpet, but this is clearly a stylist with impressive range.
