Jennifer Hudson knows how to get people talking.

Ahead of Kevin Hart’s appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the EGOT winner shared a promo photo that had fans in stitches—and some calling foul.

In the now-viral image, Hudson beams at the camera while Hart is… well, barely in the frame. With only the top of his forehead visible, the post immediately set social media on fire.

“Why you done him like that? 💀” one fan asked, while another declared, “For the first time in my life, I have felt secondhand disrespect.”

Hudson, who stands at 5’9” (before heels), appeared to lean down in the image, emphasizing her height difference with the comedian, who has often joked about his own 5’5” stature. But some fans weren’t having it, calling the move “a low blow” and “crazy work.”

Others, however, couldn’t get enough of the playful jab. “This is so iconic and messy 🤣🤣🤣,” one person commented, while another admitted, “YOU’RE SO WRONG FOR THIS LMFAOOOOOO.”

Despite the reactions, it’s all in good fun. Hart is known for being self-deprecating about his height, and if anyone can take a joke, it’s him. Now, the question remains: how will he clap back when he appears on The Jennifer Hudson Show?
