Jason Lee will frankly explain and retract his “unnecessary” comments about Jennifer Hudson.
Back in December 2023, when Lee discussed the chaotic situation involving Jeezy and Jeannie Mai’s “unexpected” divorce as well as her appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Lee defiantly criticized the EGOT winner, saying: “We all know Jennifer Hudson’s illiteracy”. .” He also questioned why Mai was on Hudson’s show, joking: “Because that’s where you go when you want to get your words across, I guess.”
Lee appeared on morning show ‘The Breakfast Club’ on Wednesday, December 18 – exactly one year since then – and it seems the gossip king has had second thoughts about that harsh comment.
When host Jess Hilarious asked if Lee had any regrets from his past after quitting drinking, he admitted that he didn’t have any regrets — except maybe digging up Hudson, 43 . What I did was a lesson,” Lee, 47, replied.
“I will say that when I was here, I made that offhand comment about Jennifer Hudson,” Lee said, before the hosts added, “And you said she was illiterate… and a terrible host,” which prompted an embarrassing response from Lee.
“Okay, we don’t have to relive that moment,” he teased as the crew laughed. “I will say this. I think you can criticize people without being mean. It was an off-the-cuff, unplanned comment, talking about something completely unrelated. Then, Of course I get all the frustration, that’s not why I thought I wanted to apologize for sure, I don’t really care when people have opinions online.”
Lee revealed that he knew he should apologize when he saw Hudson at the vice president’s house and “felt bad,” but there was so much going on that it didn’t feel like the right time to apologize. next. “What do you do? It’s not right to go up and talk,” he revealed.
“I just felt like at the time, she wasn’t the best talk show host. I can criticize that decision and criticize them.” [advertisers]rather than attacking her to say that she is illiterate is wrong,” Lee boldly stated. “Plus, she has been through a lot of traumatic things like me and seeing her in public plus – she did me a lot of favors. She could have read bad things out of me, but she didn’t.”
“I feel so bad, I’ll send her a personal note and some flowers to appease her. At least do your part, don’t be friends or anything like that but…I just felt it wasn’t necessary,” Ly admitted.
At the time of this writing, Hudson has yet to respond to Lee’s initial comments or his intention to apologize.
