Stop the Madness: Saying the Obvious Part Out Loud
I am already over the discourse in some corners that the paparazzi were harassing Hudson “and his GF.” Please note they were harassing HUDSON. They were there for Hudson, not his entourage of “female minders” as the Australian site dubbed his girl squad. No one cared about her being there or likely even knew who she was. She was not pushed or engaged with at all except for when she initiated contact with them for a weak, hushed, “please go away” after she stooped down to pick up their stalker envelope.
Please stop acting like she was a part of this. She wasn’t. No, she wasn’t supporting him and calming him down, that was Leilani and Aika’s wife. If anything she seemed to annoy him by warning Hudson about getting in trouble, to which he snapped “they’re in trouble” as he continued to ignore her. Her only contribution seemed to be frustrating Hudson and giving stalkers back their paraphernalia after Hudson dropped it on the ground, which was also weird behavior on her part. I will never understand the need/desire to insert her into anything regarding Hudson - he surely doesn’t seem to, so I don’t get the motivation by others. Trying to insert her into this is not reality - anyone watching the video can see that. He was not protecting her or defending her honor any more than as a general member of his “female minder” entourage.
This incident was about Hudson being stalked from one location to another, still being hounded for autographs from resellers, and these amateur paparazzi still following him to where he was staying after he asked them to stop. This was not about his team either - they did nothing, and honestly, it was good Leilani was there to keep him from going MMA. She was the one at the end literally holding on to Hudson to keep him from going back. As his brand manager, she knows what’s at risk, and it’s her job to keep him from doing things to harm his brand.
Hudson did the right thing standing up for his privacy and right not to be stalked. He was still incredibly polite overall, even through his anger. I think if anything, this enhances his brand and continues to break stereotypes he faces as a POC. Hudson is not to be messed with by paps, weird fans, and snaKes in his own back yard.
I have nothing else to add. Thank you @serenthelioness for telling it like it is. I'm so tired of this "white knight" version of Hudson that has been created out the imagination of H/K stans. Yes, Hudson is a gentleman, and considerate of people, especially of the women around him, but it's not exclusive or special in relation to her, in fact out of all the people around him, she gets that treatment the least, if at all. For a group of people who seem to repel RPF these H/K stans should get to typing on the computer with all of the fiction they create. They've been filling in blanks that don't need to be filled since December, and it's beyond played out at this point.
