Jennifer Hudson Compares Britney's situation to Aretha Franklin

[Avenger]

Jennifer Hudson talked about her role playing Aretha Franklin, then commented on Britney's situation.

 

Quote

“The biggest challenge in that was being able to conform to how women existed during that time.”

“I take up space in a room, and I’m very expressive and vocal. [But I had to remember], ‘I’m not Jennifer right now. I’m Aretha, in the ’60s, where women didn’t have a voice as much as we do today.”

“I wish I could say that that was a product of a time period, but we look at what Britney Spears is going through right now and we know that that’s not a product of the time period — it’s part of the burden that women bear living under patriarchy. Where people think that their lives are not their own.”

“Seeing her go through all of the struggles and some of that trauma is how we can really understand what an incredible person [she] is when she made it to the other side, and we get the triumph. To really glory in her success, I feel like you had to understand what she went through to get there.”

Beautiful words from a beautiful and talented woman. The world really does need to recognize the strength Britney has and the trials and hardships she has endured. Wether you are a Britney fan or not, you cannot deny that she is a SURVIVOR and a WARRIOR. A true inspiration to those that do not have a voice, and to everyone really.
