Jennifer Hudson is ready to talk about the brutal murders of her mother, brother and young nephew.

The singer will be featured in a VH1 Behind the Music special on Monday and the network touts that “for the very first time, Jennifer talks candidly about overcoming [that] painful time in her life.”

The American Idol contestant turned Grammy and Oscar winning superstar’s went through a nightmare when, in October 2008, she learned that her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were shot to death in the family’s Chicago home, where Jennifer herself grew up. Elevating it to another level, her 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, had been kidnapped by the gunman. Sadly, three days later Julian’s lifeless body was discovered discarded in a parked car.

Jennifer herself had to go to the morgue to identify young boy’s body.

Adding to the heartbreak, the man charged with the brutal murders was the estranged husband of Jennifer’s own sister Julia Hudson, who was Julian’s mother. He’s currently in prison.

The Dreamgirls star has made an unbelievable recovery, becoming engaged to beau David Otunga and welcoming son, David Jr., last August.

Fans may have noticed new mom Jennifer Hudson’s fabulous figure, but she has remained mum on her secret to shedding the post-baby pounds- until now.

The Dream Girl announced at a press conference on April 1 that Weight Watchers is responsible for her newly-svelte self. “I tried diet after diet, plan after plan and saw pretty much the same, but Weight Watchers is that much more different,” Jennifer told the crowd in New York.

The Oscar-winner credits the weight loss company’s nonrestrictive meal plan with her amazing results. “I was able to eat sushi and I hadn’t had ice cream in about ten years, and pizza in about ten years, until now. The first week I lost 5 pounds!” she added.

Jennifer, who gave birth to her son with fiancé David Otunga, David Jr., last August, called for weight loss hopefuls to follow her lead. “I hope to set a good example for others. I would like to see many more do the same and conquer what they’ve been trying to conquer forever, because it’s possible!” she said.

The secret behind Jennifer Hudson’s amazing body after baby? Weight Watchers! In fact, the new mom revealed she’s the new spokesperson for the company today.

“With Weight Watchers, I am enjoying the weight loss because I’m doing it the right way–I feel empowered with what I’ve learned, everything from portion control to what foods will help keep me satisfied,” says the 28-year-old. “It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet.”

The Oscar-winning actress-singer, who has a 7-month-old son, David Daniel Otunga Jr., with her fiancé David Otunga, 28–also likes how the diet fits into her busy lifestyle. “I can follow the plan no matter where I am, still enjoy my favorite foods and even use the iPhone app to track my points,” she says.

Hudson is no stranger to publicly discussing her weight: After being called “the big girl” as a contestant on American Idol, the singer transformed her body for her Oscar-winning turn as Effie in Dreamgirls by packing on more than 20 lbs. with a diet of “cakes and cookies and lots of fried food,” she told People. She later lost the weight for the premiere of the film. Celebrities who have represented Weight Watchers in the past include Jenny McCarthy, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, and Lynn Redgrave.
