The Latest on David Otunga and Jennifer Hudson’s Custody Battle

As we noted a couple weeks ago, WWE announcer David Otunga and his former fiancee Jennifer Hudson have been embroiled in what appeared to be a bitter custody battle in the wake of the couple splitting up.

Otunga had been fighting for primary custody of the couple’s son, and Hudson had fired back claiming Otunga had displayed abusive behavior towards her and threatened her with a firearm. Hudson also had a protection order granted against Otunga in the midst of the dispute. Otunga later issued a statement denying the allegations made by Hudson, and below is an excerpt of Otunga’s statement:

“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.”
