Jason Lee is getting dragged on social media after he called Jennifer Hudson, an EGOT winner, illiterate while he was a guest host on The Breakfast Club. The Hollywood Unlocked founder is catching all the smoke for the apparent disrespect.
Lee promptly placed his whole foot in his mouth when discussed Jeezy and Jeannie Mae divorce with Charlamagne. Mae appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to tell her side of the story, and Lee seemed to be offended her didn’t break the news on his outlet.
“That’s where you go when you want to get your word across, I guess,” said Lee, with all the shade. “We all know Jennifer Hudson’s illiterate.” He discussed Mae further—he didn’t believe her story—but by this time Hudson fans and Lee dislikers were seeing red. But he wasn’t done, adding, “People who forgot, especially Jennifer Hudson, this is why these daytime talk shows are failing, ‘cause y’all don’t be doing your real work… Cancel ’The Jennifer Hudson Show’ because she let Jeezy take a hit by that woman who only wanted her dark meat on the side.”
Social media was quick to point out that Lee has history of coming for Black women, dating back to his time on the case of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.
Jennifer Hudson has recently been romantically linked to Common, but we hope he doesn’t bother, for cultural purposes.
Anyway, we compiled some of the best slander, for archival purposes, in the gallery.

Babyface and Anita Baker looked to be one of the top tours of 2023 with the two legendary acts making their talents on the road of their legion of fans. Despite what headlines say, Babyface assured the public that there is no beef between him and Baker.
Babyface, real name Kenneth Edmonds, sat down with The Jason Lee Show and ran over a few topics in their chat. Of course, fans of the seemingly feuding acts wanted to know the story behind the rift and a new trailer offers some insight.
Lee mentioned the issues between the pair which go back to a night when Baker decided to do the show on her own due to reported technical difficulties. In the wake of that evening, Baker says that Babyface’s fans began attacking her on social media and making her online life miserable. Baker even asked Babyface to call off his fans via Twitter.
Throughout it all, Babyface remained classy online and when speaking with Lee. He explained that the night of the show cancellation was “complicated” but didn’t go into deeper detail.
The talented singer and songwriter then shared that he had no issue being Baker’s supporting act and that he was looking forward to seeing her perform nightly as much as the fans were.
A trailer for the conversation is posted below. Tune in to REVOLT at 10 PM ET to watch the latest The Jason Lee Show episode.

Jason Lee earned a reputation as one of the top names in the media when it comes to getting scoops on the follies of entertainers. After breaking the story of an alleged dustup between Usher and Chris Brown, folks on Twitter are calling Jason Lee a liar after the singer appeared in new footage looking unharmed.
Hollywood Unlocked published a story regarding an alleged argument between Usher and Chris Brown in a Las Vegas skating rink that was a birthday celebration for Brown. According to still unconfirmed reports, Brown was reportedly yelling at Teyana Taylor and Usher intervened. After Brown left the venue, Usher reportedly followed and was allegedly jumped.
Fast forward to just a few moments ago, Usher appeared on stage at the Lovers & Friends concert in Las Vegas without a scratch on his face after reports of a bloodied nose. Jason Lee saw his name trending on Twitter with comments blasting the media figure for misrepresenting what actually happened. In addition, Brown was also seen onstage at Lovers & Friends so it’s anyone’s bet at this point.

Cardi B continues to be an open book. In a new interview she discusses a rough patch in her relationship with Offset.
Per Complex, the Bronx bombshell recently sat down with Jason Lee for The Jason Lee Show on REVOLT. The two discussed a variety of topics, but opening up regarding some of her and Offset’s past relationship issues seemed to be the highlight of the visit.
“Me and Offset, we was not seeing eye to eye,” Bardi revealed. “This was, like, the same year that I filed for divorce and everything. I’m going let him talk about this, because…the main thing that was really bothering me, I’m [going] let him say it himself. I want him to say it because I feel like that’s really part of his story.”
While she was selective with how much she gave away, she added some context. “The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed. And it showed me that he wanted to change for me” she said. Ultimately, Offset was able to win her back by stepping up.
“You [can] just see when somebody’s trying,” Cardi explained. “I feel like we got married so young, and we got married so, like, spontaneously. And we did know each other, but we kind [of] didn’t know each other. We just was in love with each other and we had, like, a little toxic relationship. During our marriage and by time passing, we grew. We grew with each other.”
