On Sunday night’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” the veteran talk-show host spoke to Jennifer Hudson about the tragedy that struck the entertainer’s family four years ago, when Hudson’s estranged brother-in-law murdered her mother, brother and nephew. The difficult discussion led to an unexpected revelation from Hudson: Not only has she forgiven William Balfour for killing her loved ones, but she doesn’t even hold him completely responsible for his actions.
“For the most part, it’s not his fault,” Hudson said.
That’s a perspective she has despite having attended every day of Balfour’s trial for the slayings and despite hearing a judge declare that Balfour has “the heart of an arctic night” and a soul “as barren as dark space.”
