: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Jennifer Hudson's fiancé and VH1 reality star David "Punk" Otunga of the "I Love New York" series has a new occupation. According to our pals at PWInsider.com, Punk has been training for months in WWE's Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory - and has now signed to a deal with WWE.
But don't expect to see him in the ring anytime soon. Punk has been on a sabbatical from FCW due to the recent Hudson family tragedy.
Developing...
He looks like a nice guy but Jennifer can hang it up - as soon as he gets a bit of fame, he's going to be so over her. Look at poor Hugh Hefner! He had tons of girls forever but as soon as he got them that reality show and they became stars in their own right and could ink million dollar deals putting them on par with him (as his wealth has diminished quite a bit, I've read) they went out and got with young buys. One said recently: "I want somebody I can get married to and have kids with." She's with the magician Angel and another is with an Eagle's football player...the third one is reportedly with some rich European guy and doing some international show for E! It's sad...these people are sycophants.
Does the "law degree" really exists? If so, it SEEMS like he would be working in that field instead of dating women with fame i.e. New York, J. Hud. He's lame and wants to date a celebrity to get his own self out in the industry. Come on Jennifer, even Stevie Wonder can see his plan that he's using you!!! He was supposedly in love with New York while he was crying when she cut him off the show. LEAVE THIS LAME ALONE!
Well just to mention...Trina the rapper left a comment on his myspace page that he needed to have his own show. No mention about J-Hud though. And the chick had the nerve to advertise her CD cover??? Is she trying to jack Punk from J-Hud? See for yourselves...

Not that I think that he is a role model or anything like it ... for Christ sake he was on I Love New York....but how do you go from being a Harvard educated lawyer to a WWE Wrestler? What is that saying?!! It's too much work to be an attorney so I rather wear some tights? If and when he decides to return to real life and become an attorney, will he have lost all credibility?
sabbatical is like a vacation and is usually when a professional person leaves work to fulfill another goal like write or book, travel and attend school. Bereavement is time off to grieve the loss of a loved one.
I haven't watch Smack Down since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson left. Maybe this will give me a reason to tune it.
Actually, I checked out his myspace booking page a while back and he appears to be a pretty upstanding guy.
[link to external website removed]
Mentioned that he uses his $$ from the entertainment industry to start his own firm so that he can represent people pro bono, or at a reduced rate. Also does lots of community service.
If you ask me he's pimping the game. Not that I agree with the way he's going about it but hey, if it works for him more power to him!
Jennifer need look no further than Star Jones "***" husband Al as a reference point. Here is the playbook, meet an overweight insecure newly famous rich celebrity, then charm them with your good manners which we all know "real men" are not that "charming" sweep her off her feet, buy a big engagement ring with a public proposal in very *** order. Then divorce and then "challenge/threaten" to expose her secrets in a book and get a huge payoff and then go live your "lifestyle".
I know it is not my business.. but this nicca had better be on the up and up. Jen has lost a great deal of her family.I’m just thinking that everything about him screams down low. Perhaps he is not sure of his sexuality, because he looks and acts quite feminine. Look at the pose for this picture! Was there a father in the home? This could possible explain things. I just don’t want him “coming out of the closet” at a later date… “discovering” himself..you know..and leaving Jen heartbroken yet again. I will just continue to pray for Jennifer ,and I pray that this is a good man for her. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! God bless you Jennifer. You seem like a beautiful person. PRAY!
He's a lawyer by trade and from what I've read, he's done some great pro bono work for poor Chicago areas. However, it appears this man wants a career in showbiz and not the legal world. He should take his skills and become an entertainment lawyer instead. The WWE?!!! WTH?
When people get married, like he and Jen Hudson plan to do, someone needs a steady, stable career. She has one. How about him?
That's what Star Jones needs to do, become a rich enterainment lawyer and forget the talk shows.
When I first read this I said "this is not true", but you know with all that has happen this past week, I say go for it David.
Who knows, maybe that is something he always wanted to do, maybe the lawyer thing is not making enough money for him. It could be a number of reasons. It's his life, let him do what the hell he wants to do.
If he plays that wrestling thing right he can make a boatload of money. Look at The Rock and Hulk Hogan.
As far as a couple of posters saying he should be supporting Jennifer, did you not read the last line of the article:
"But don't expect to see him in the ring anytime soon. Punk has been on a sabbatical from FCW due to the recent Hudson family tragedy." any steroids.
Just leave the steroids alone David.
@fire4u:I agree. Jen has lost too much to be deeply hurt by some man. These DL men know how to schmooze a female right down to the last romantic detail. If I were her I'd hire a PI.
He may be straight but there are way too many men now who love *** sex but continue to still consider themselves as heterosexual men. Top or bottom, if you've experienced it, its in you.
Star should've done that with Al and the neighbors and friends who came out saying he lived a very *** lifestyle would've been witnesses.
When Oprah started dating Stedman some of his old girlfriends came out of the woodwork saying O was not his type. They said Stedman was a work out fanantic and didn't like out of shape women. He's still with Oprah after 20+ years. Perhaps he had to learn to love all of the woman and not just the physical part of her.
@ Dimpz Flag post Hes a freaky lAwer. why do that? lO --------------------- HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE WRESTLERS HOMES???? AND THEIR CHECKS? THAT'S WHY. AND PPL SAYING LAW DEGREE WENT TO WASTE I MEAN *** HOW MANY OF YOU WENT TO SCHOOL FOR COMMUNICATIONS OR BUSINESS ADMIN AND WORKING AT A FAST FOOD JOINT, WALMART, MACY'S, CREDIT CARD COMPANY ANSWERING PHONES? THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. HE STILL HAVE HIS DEGREE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN'T DO OTHER THINGS. I MEAN *** THE MAN PROBABLY LOVES WRESTLING HAVE ANYONE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
This guy is FINE AS HELL physically (btw, I saw him on Entertainment *** this week with his hair cut closer and in waves!)
But despite his otherwise beautiful features, something is a little OFF about David. Not sure if its my *** or just not seeing him really being all that in love with jenn. But at the same time, I dont wanna stereotype him as being *** just cause he's smart, cleancut and ACTUALLY NICE!
So I hope I'm all wrong about David aka Punk (and he needs to punch anybody that calls him that f*cked up name in the future) and best wishes to whatever he decides to do with his life.
@ 1hotmama212 Flag post I don't know this guy personally, however, you can see that he just wants to be in the spotlight. Wake up Jennifer Hudson....This guy is using you and you don't give a rat's azz because he is a trophy boyfriend. He seems to date women that are less attractive than him to make himself look good.
For goodness sake he is a lawyer and he went on a dumb reality show. And now WWF. What happened to you ex-fiance? was he not pretty enough for you? Well, I'll check back in a few years to see if he comes out the closet and divorce's you and write a book....if you'll ever make it down the isle. Anyway, If you're reading this....good luck girl..Lol. -------------------------- HE WAS IN THE SPOTLIGHT WHEN HE MET JENN JUST BY BEING A REALITY STAR. BUT ANYWAY WHO SAID THE RULE WAS JENN SING AND HE JUST BE A LAWYER??? I MEAN IT'S LOT'S OF STARS THAT HAVE LAW DEGREES BUT ACT ETC. *** HILL HARPER WENT TO SCHOOL WITH OBAMA AND HE'S A ACTOR AND WRITER SO U CAN'T LIMIT NO ONE'S AMBITION.
@ mzarrogance @justwant2say - His profession has NO salary cap. So if he isn't making enough as a lawyer, he isn't a good lawyer ------------------------------- WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT???? LAW MAY DON'T HAVE A SALARY CAP BUT UNLESS U DOING BIG CASES LIKE MILLION TO BILLION DOLLAR LAWSUITES AND CASE THEN U GOING TO BE MAKING 6 FIGURE INCOME UNLESS U OPEN YOUR OWN FIRM OR BECOME PARTNER OF ONE. BUT ANYWAY WRESTLING OR MOVIES IT'S NO CAP. PLUS WRESTLING IT'S NO WAITING FOR YOUR MONEY. THEY DEPOSIT THE MONEY RIGHT THEN AND THERE LIKE THEY DID MAYWEATHER.
EVERYONE NEED TO STOP HATING. I MEAN ARE U DOING WHAT U WENT TO SCHOOL FOR IF U WENT???? OR IS PPL MAD CUZ THEIR LIFE DON'T ALLOW THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS U REALLY WANT OR YOUR LIFE DON'T WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITIES TO COME BEFORE YOU? JUST STOP HATING AND MOST OF U ARE SINGLE WITH BABIES WITH NO DADDY TRYING TO GIVE ADVICE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUNNY AS HELL.
ANYWAY FOR U THAT THINKING HE'S NOT THERE FOR HER THIS IS WHAT RELATIVES ARE SAYING.
Sources close to the Oscar winner tell E! News that her family and fiancé David Otunga have been her rock throughout the week. In fact, Otunga has been with her around the clock.
"David's been by her side through this whole tragedy," a family source says. "He has totally been there for her."
EVERYONE THAT SAYS THEY LOVE OBAMA IS THIS WHAT U THINK OF HIM???? HE HAS A HARVARD DEGREE AND INSTEAD OF GOING TO WALL STREET HE BECAME A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER THEN GOT INTO POLITICS AND LOOK WHERE IT'S ABOUT TO LAND HIM. SO DON'T KNOCK NO ONE'S HUSTLE. U DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS MIGHT LAND HIM IN HIS LIFE. OBAMA WIFE THE SAME THING. WHY U NOT KNOCKING HER SHE'S NOT PRACTICING HER DEGREE. HILL HARPER, ACTOR AND WRITER/HOTEL OWNER(WENT TO SCHOOL WITH OBAMA) HAS A LAW DEGREE THE LIST GOES ON AND ON SO STOP THE HATING FOR NO *** REASON. YESTERDAY U SAYING U CRYING BECUZ OF HIS MYSPACE WITH JULIAN ON IT AND NOW U SAYING HE'S ***. JUST *** THE *** UP PLEASE. OH YEA HAPPY HALLOWEEN HATE'*** ***!
jhud is probably staring to see the light about him. it's so obvious he's dl. he needs another back up plan to his quest for celebrity. the deaths in jhuds family put a road block in his plan to conquering this low self esteem rich *** like jhud. look at her sister and the type of fool she hooked up with based on her low self esteem. the apple don't fall far from the tree. jhud says she reads the gossip sites so she's probably reading stuff and realizing that something ain't kosher with punk. she thinks that because he got a law degree he's worthy. in regards to the law degree, it's most likely he wasn't very good at it. it's just for show. he probably slept his way to the degree just like he's sleeping his way to celebrity. those hudson sisters seem to have a penchant for buying ***.

YOU ARE REALLY DUMB! I'M SORRY YOU ARE REALLY REALLY DUMB! FIRST OFF HOW U GOING TO CALL JHUD A LOW SELF-ESTEEM *** WHEN SHE JUST LOST HER FAMILY AND LIKE U KNOW HER? SECOND, AS I LISTED ABOVE ON MY POST HE'S NOT THE FIRST WITH A LAW DEGREE AND DIDN'T START OUT DOING LAW. IS OBAMA CRAZY FOR NOT DOING LAW OR GOING TO WALL STREET? IS HIS WIFE CRAZY FOR NOT USING HER DEGREE BUT INSTEAD WORKING DOING FOUNDATION WORK? HE SLEPT HIS WAY???? U SOUND DUMB I GUESS MRS. OBAMA DID TO AND THATS WHY SHE WAS HIGHER THEN ALL THE WHITES IN HER CLASS AND SAME FOR OBAMA.
LOOK AT YOUR OWN LIFE THEN COME BACK AND JUDGE HIS OR HER DECISIONS IN LIFE TO MAKE MONEY.
@fire4u
Hey girl. I agree. He betta not be playing games with Jen. If he is not sincere, he need to get out of her life because HOW MUCH CAN A PERSON TAKE!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Money Clips, Rings, Cufflinks, Bangles & More starting as low as $20.
www.myposhJEWELS.com "Tell Your Friends"
Did anybody notice on his myspace page he doesnt have ONE picture of JHUD ....but he just RECENTLY added pictures of the victims Ms. Donnerson and Julian.. Jenn's myspace has her pictures of punk declaring her love-- Why is she not in any of his pictures? Even in his "family photos" he has Julian... hmmmmm.. He seems like an oportunist.. I'm just sayin..............
So what he went to Harvard Law. There are tons of people who spend time and money pursuing one career path and then once they get into it decide to give it all up for another. And just because he "looks" DL doesn't me he is ***.
I see some of these same people who are on here bashing him praising entertainers who have been suspected of being *** and furthermore seen participating in questionable activities. Yet and still alot of these same females still say they would get with them, get prego by them and the guys could wife 'em.
Yall better open ur eyes cuz it's ALOT of DL brothas out there that don't "look" *** and vice versa.
i wouldn't be surprised if the reason they were in florida during the times of the tragedy was so he could elope and hurry up his rise to celebrity by hooking up with low self esteem jhud. now that this happened, he's turning to plan c. plan a was tiffany "new york" pollard, plan b jhud, now this. he's good. lol
@ trooper.... YOU ARE REALLY DUMB! I'M SORRY YOU ARE REALLY REALLY DUMB! FIRST OFF HOW U GOING TO CALL JHUD A LOW SELF-ESTEEM *** ************************* I totally Agree with you 100% Trooper..and I am glad that you put this Lydia person back in her place. To say that Jennifer has low self esteem and compare her to Julia is really reaching. I was watching Nancy grace last *** and the many clips and cameos of Jennifer. She clearly is different from her family and wanted more for herself . She is one class act. Nancy even commented earliar this week about how nice and genuine she is. She is a confident girl, she clearly has great self esteem. She does not allow Hollywood to group her in the “skinny girl” stereotype. she said that she struggles with her weight, but she is who she is. she clearly loves herself, and is confident in her skin.I've seen her perform in front of large audiences and she seems very confident. Punk is not William Balfour. the two are clearly not of the same caliber of men. A comparison to Terry Mcmillian’s man , I could see. But low self esteem and comparisons that suggests she is a dumb overweight girl with esteem issues is unfair. Jennifer is not Julia. Jennifer is a pretty girl. She 's not fat. She’s a lil thick, but the standards in Hollywood are so high. At the end of the day, I think Men would desire her with or without the money, and at that size. Lydia is really going way over the top with those statements. Tacky.
MTOADDICTED Flag post Did anybody notice on his myspace page he doesnt have ONE picture of JHUD ....but he just RECENTLY added pictures of the victims Ms. Donnerson and Julian.. Jenn's myspace has her pictures of punk declaring her love-- Why is she not in any of his pictures? Even in his "family photos" he has Julian... hmmmmm.. He seems like an oportunist.. I'm just sayin.............. ******************** to me if he had pictures of J-hud POSTED everywhere he would seem "MORE" LIKE AN OPPORTUNIST THAN NOT HAVING ANY. JUST THE OPPOSITE. LIKE HE'S SHOWING OFF OR BRAGGING. THE JULIAN PHOTOS WERE ADDED RECENTLY, HE MADE A PLEA FOR THE BOY'S RETURN AND POSTED PICS , RIGHT ALONG WITH HER ,VIA MYSPACE. IT WAS TALKED ABOUT ON TV.
@ fire4u...I co-sign....I think he realizes that a lot of people look at his relationship skeptically and think he's an opportunist, and he downplays things for that reason....He doesn't want to seem like he is riding her coat tails for publicity...
I am not surprised by him doing the WWE thing...His law degree isn't going anywhere...He can always come back to it..I think he's trying to max out his 15 minutes of fame while he can...
@ fire4u -----------
YES, SHE'S JUST SAYING THINGS FOR ATTENTIION RIGHT NOW LIKE THE BIG SISTER THAT ALWAYS SAYS "WHAT ABOUT ME, DID U SEE ME" WHEN IT'S A NEW CHILD IN THE HOUSE THAT THE PARENT JUST PRAISED. I WOULDN'T CARE IF I HAD A LAW DEGREE OR NOT CUZ IT'S NO RULES THAT SAY'S U HAVE TO LIMIT YOUR POCKETS TO INCOME.
AND FOR THE ONE THAT SAID HE DON'T HAVE A PIC OF JENN ON HIS MYSPACE I MEAN *** HE CHANGED HIS WHOLE PAGE AND PUT ALL JULIAN PICS. PLUS MYSPACE IS REALLY FOR NETWORKING NOT STALKING DAMNNNN CUZ HE ALREADY BE WITH HER, SLEEP WITH HER AND WHATEVER ELSE WITH HER SO WHY DO HE NEED HER PICS PLASTERED ALL OVER HIS PAGE.
GROW UP PPL!
Co-sign 100 w/ Trooper. Just because he is choosing to do something different doesn't mean he is living off of her money or using her or anything like that... I mean, I think the dudes that were on ILNY were lame, but the fact that he has a JD means that he will never be hungry. We don't know that man's financial situation or what he has going on. If he does alot of pro bono work and such, good for him...Maybe he makes enough billing at 300 and up an hour at the firm he works at and he can afford to pursue other interests... If he has it like that, more power to him. Obviously he is into body building and fitness, that's his perogative... Why hate, some of yall hating are so rediculous, if he was a lowlife uneducated broke *** yall would talk ***, if he was white, yall would talk ***, but this man is an educated man and yall still talking ***. SMDH! He doesn't owe any of you an explanation, if he chooses to wrestle, hey more power to him...
@ Lydia, wouldn't any man who is with a woman going through a hard time be supportive and by her side??? Maybe you are used to dealing with trife men because that's what people do in a relationship... They support each other through the bad times, Where the Fyuck else is he supposed to be but by her side??? Look at the gravity of the situation: she lost her mother, brother and nephew, of course her man should be by her side, "every minute" You sound stupid, *** outta here...
READ THIS**** PREDICTION***
"PUNK" AKA DAVID is a opportunist 'YES' but I definitely don't see him with JHUD for that very long... Jennifer is going to have to compete with many women that will drop to there knees for him but I hope for the best for her but it will definitely be a battle!
After the unfortunate tragedy that happened to her family he is not too sure if he want's to continue or pursue this relationship in fear for his own life. And can't carry the responsibilty that comes with it. He is with her now and Loves her but is not in love with her. He is just caught in the moment...
He is a very calm, emotionally stable, energetic, secure, extremely intelligent, (likes a woman to be able to carry on a conversation that stimulates his mind and keeps him interested) collective, carefree and compassionate man and is VERY protective of his family.
He can't can't stand negative energy and nor likes to be afflicted by it or subjected to it. He has been Drama Free most of all his life and likes to keep it that way.
He is also a GOD fearing man and Loves the Bible. He is an Aries so his perfect mate would be a Leo someone to keep him on edge and add life and light to his Life! He is not a "PUNK" or *** he is definitely a Straight man! Just because someone is unimaginably Handsome and takes care of themselves to look Good does not mean that they are a "*** RADAR" like some people say. If he does get married the relationship won't last because of the emotional turmoil he is going to have to put up with and he is defintely not fit to be someone's Psychologist for a lifetime!
That is my Prediction "Quote me" if I am wrong! WILDNVEGAS
And no I don't know him I just Know"
@gettingdown said I WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS *** UNTIL I SEE IT.
I JUST SEEN HIM ON AN INTERVIEW ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, WHERE HE STATED"HE WAS STARTING HIS OWN LAW BUSINESS."
AND HE WAS STILL WORKING FOR THE SAME LAW FIRM THAT HE WAS WORKING AT BEFORE ILNY.
MTO SHOW ME SOME PROOF BESIDES SOME **********************************************
i read on another site that he was asked to resign from the law firm after working there less than an year. he resigned to pursue celebrity-dom. ilny failed. he has jhud to get his foot in the door. now the wrestling thing. although i disapprove of the way he uses people for his self absorbing reasons, i think this wrestling gig may be the right plan for him.
@LYDIA
YOU GOT INFORMATION FROM A GOSSIP WEBSITE, I GOT MINES FROM HIS INTERVIEW.
BUT, EITHER WAY I DO NOT GIVE A ***, THIS IS HIS AND JHUD DECISION AND THEY SEEMS TO BE VERY HAPPY.
THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
GOOD LUCK TO THEM, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE NEEDS ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD.
Ok....so what if he's going to wrestle? What difference does it make??? Yes he is trying to stretch his 30 min of fame but so was New York and Real and Chance. If it works for him I say make your money Punk!!! And jusr because he's doing this doesn't mean he's not comforting Jennifer. She may be behind him. We don't know!!
@wildnvegas, this ain't about David. I'd really be *** if he walked off and left Jhud now. He signed up to be watch ever when he proposed. So that means if the nicca has to be a lifetime counselor or therapist he better be a good one. Fearing for he and Jenn's life than get security but it's not fair to give him to OK to walk off. She will need someone stable and secure in her corner for a lifetime. Quite frankly, i don't think i would EVER get over this EVER. My fiance is sitting her watching me type this because if he ever mentioned leaving me for his own selfish reason i would be ***. Love weathers all storms. David's main priority right now and forever should be making Jennifer smile again. She seems like a naturally sweet person.
lydia @fire4u
fyi. speak for yourself. i did not say jhud is fat. you did. you using my statement to call her fat and take a swipe at her sister too. i said jhud has low self esteem. get it straight. ############### Lydia, i never addressed you. i addressed Trooper and referenced you. I never quoted you. I pointed out that you said she had low self esteem...and i explained to you that i felt that she did not. Anyway, you know what you were eluding too, low self esteem ...why? you probably were eluding to her weight. i think she is beautiful with high esteem , as i stated. what about you? you must be a fat girl. you r hatin' like someone with self esteem issues. Misery loves company.
@fire4u
i make this perfectly clear to you. i was not "eluding" to anything. all i said was that jhud had low self esteem. do not not or ever try and use my statements to say what YOU believe. okay! and for the record, i don't "hate" anyone" and i don't consider myself "fat" but you might. just like you called jhud and her sister.
and please refrain from "addressing me" through someone elses post. i don't know you or the other person you feel it necessary to include my opinion with.
for anyone who's interested, the cpd have confirmed that the gun found yesterday is the murder weapon and also that it is registered to somebody in Michigan.
Lets' take stock of Jennifer's would be paramour:
1) FAILED LAWYER
2) I LOVE NEW YORK REJECT
3) NOW A WWE GLORIFIED CARNY
Twould appear that Jennifer is keeping up the proud tradition of most foolish black *** by being the willing participant in another soon to be FAILED relationship.
I just love it when these pathetic black *** proves DOOM right time and time again.
so what is david is your friend! You might want to school his wanna be celebrity azz on the upside of chasing fame. People make comments about you and say what the hell they wanna say. The reality of it is that he'll always walk in Jennifer's shawdow because she is the real celebrity of the two. I hope that does not turn into a Britney KFed situation.
I think he made a good move. Everyhody giving him the thumbsdown but being a lawyer is really like being salesperson or a cosmetologist. If u dont have any clients then you dont have any money. And who says he a good lawyer, just cause he graduated from Harvard dont make him the best. Its his experience and ability to win cases that helps him gain clients. Like a cosmetologist work speaks for them and wether or not you will let them touch your head. And right now we in a recession and not too many people can afford a lawyer. He going where the money at and wrestlers actually make more than alot of lawyers do. Do your research.
