2. Jennifer Hudson
In 2008, the American Idol star nearly had a mental breakdown after her de facto brother-in-law, William Blafour, shot and killed her mother Darnell, brother Jason, and nephew Julian King. In July 2012, Balfour was sentenced to three life sentences without the possibility of parole, to be served consecutively followed by an additional 120 years for his other convictions. Hudson’s family created The Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims, in honor of the three victims.
