Jennifer Hudson Obtains Protective Order Against Ex-Fiance

by Associated Press

   CHICAGO --

   Jennifer Hudson has obtained an order of protection against her former
   fiance David Otunga.

   Police in suburban Chicago say Otunga was removed from the couple's
   home in Burr Ridge, Illinois, Thursday night after being notified of
   the order. Burr Ridge Police Chief John Madden tells The Associated
   Press Otunga "left the residence without incident."
   Tracy Rizzo, the attorney for the former WWE star, says Hudson
   petitioned for the order "in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in
   the custody dispute" involving the former couple's 8-year-old son.
   Rizzo says Otunga "has never abused or harassed" Hudson. Rizzo calls
   the protection order "meritless" and says Hudson made "false
   allegations" against him.
   Hudson's representative didn't immediately return a request for comment
   Friday.
