The Tea with Andi James: Jennifer Hudson to play the 'Queen of Soul'

Loading player...
Filming on the Aretha Franklin biopic is underway and Jeniffer Hudson is playing the queen of soul. Jennifer Hudson arrived at Radio City Music Hall while filming a scene for the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic Respect on Friday night (November 8) in New York City. The 38-year-old entertainer looked so chic in a tan fur coat over a sparkling gold dress while filming with co-star Marlon Wayans, who plays Aretha‘s first husband Ted White. Franklin and White, who was also her manager, got married in 1961 when she was only 19 years old. They separated after seven years of marriage and there were reports of domestic abuse during their time together. Earlier this week, Jennifer was spotted filming with Hailey Kilgore and Saycon Sengbloh, who play Aretha‘s sisters in the film. Respect will be released on August 14, 2020.
