(Newser) – In a rare moment, Jennifer Hudson addressed the horrific murders of her mother, brother, and nephew, telling Ebony that she credits fiancé David Otunga with saving her life, People reports. “I could have been home with my mom then,” she says, but Otunga had begged her to visit him in Florida. “I flew out to see him; that's why I'm still here,” she says. “I've never said that before, and I can't believe I just said that now.”
