A Ticking Time Bomb?:

It has been reported that the publication has obtained a copy of the protective order Jennifer Hudson filed on Thursday, November 17. The singer reportedly stated that she, David had become “aggressive, threatening and harassing behavior toward me.” She said, “I am now living in fear of further action David might take.” The timeline of events that led to the protective order began on Wednesday, Nov. 16 when Jennifer was in a recording session.

David is said to have called Jennifer repeatedly and when she didn’t answer he wanted their son to record what was going on because he reportedly speculates that she’s been seeing one of her producers; an accusation Jennifer adamantly denies. When she returned home, David was “visibly angry.” He allegedly grabbed their son and pushed Jennifer out of their master bedroom. Jennifer’s assistant, makeup artist, and her son all witnessed David’s actions. For Jennifer, being pushed by a 6’3″ 240 lb professional wrestler is quite frightening because things could go left really quickly.

She also detailed other intimidating tactics David would allegedly use. “David knows that I am and have been very sensitive to firearms after my mother and my brother were murdered by a firearm.” She says, “I believe that he left it out to taunt, intimidate and frighten me, which he absolutely accomplished.”

Stay Away:

As a result of Jennifer’s protective order, she has been granted exclusive possession of their home and David Otunga has been ordered to stay away from her and their son, David Jr. In the petition, Jennifer is also requesting “significant decision-making responsibilities” because she’s been “solely responsible for making all major decisions for their son.” Insiders claim Jennifer and David split months ago and they’ve been embroiled in a custody battle over their son. Since they are both seeking primary physical custody, they’ve been unable to resolve their differences and it doesn’t look like they’ll be resolving the situation anytime soon.
