David Otunga Skips WWE Raw To Support Fiancee Jennifer Hudson in Court


David Otunga’s absence from last nights WWE Supershow has many fans who many not be also fans of the wrestler-cum-lawyer’s singer and babymomma Jennifer Hudson asking why Otunga was absent from the fray.

But David Otunga fans who also keep up with celebrity news might know that Hudson is going through what is likely the second roughest spot of her life right now, so naturally Otunga would want to be there to support his partner. Several wrestling fansites carried the following confirmation, but the source for the original statement isn’t clear:

“David Otunga was not at Monday’s RAW Supershow from Detroit because he was with fiancee Jennifer Hudson and her family. Hudson testified on Monday at the trial of the man accused of killing her mother, brother and 7 year old nephew. Hudson is expected to sit through the entire trial so it’s possible Otunga will be there with her daily. Otunga was mentioned in the media yesterday but articles said he was best known for his time on VH1 and had no mention of WWE.”

Otunga is indeed visible in court sketches, and the pair was present for proceedings in the trial of accused killer William Balfour. Balfour’s ex-wife Julia Hudson testified as well, saying that Balfour always threatened to “kill [her] family first” if she ever left him. Both Hudsons were forced to listen to 911 dispatchers’ tapes in which Julia Hudson discovers her mother’s bloodied body, and screams:

“Oh my God, oh my God… My momma, my momma!”

It is not known when David Otunga will return to WWE, but his most recent tweet simply reads: “Family. Faith. Strength. Justice.”
