Hudson has only been famous for 6 mos. The team he has now, likely won't be the team he has for the rest of his career
We view things through a fandom bubble. The media didn't care when Hudson was and quite frankly still is experiencing racism from the toxic part of this Fandom, so I doubt they'd care about this concerted effort to paint Hudson himself as racist. That is only if this breaks containment, and I don't think it will.
Also, I grew up in a predominately white environment my entire childhood. My mom watched my sister and I and who we hung out with like a hawk. Specifically, to avoid the situations Hudson seemed to have found himself in as a young person being the only POC in his friend group. Hudson's experience is different from mine of course, because he is a POC but he's also biracial, which adds another level to some of the confusion he might have add when he was younger. However, I will reiterate what I said last time something like this happened, having a "racist phase" is not normal, and is used to excuse a lot of bullshit.
There is an odd timing to these things that several people have noticed. Always around big events for Hudson. Last time was the Met Gala, this time it's the CSAs.
These pictures/leaks also correlate to one specific friend group. Which confirms for me the leaker is one of them if not multiple people within that group. People said that they reached out and asked Kalem about that IG account and he was quick to say he wasn't part of it. But nothing else. No defense or explanation of Hudson being connected to it.
Yes, it's weird that Hudson's PR team is more concerned with pushing his "relationship" then checking his digital footprint to protect him. Which kind of confirms for me that all of us who think Hudson is Queer (Gay/Bi or something else) are correct, and they seem to care more about getting a narrative out there that he is in a Straight presenting relationship, more than anything else. Which is odd, because no one is saying he has to "come out" if he his Queer but this relationship doesn't have to be pushed so hard either.
People see what they want to see. We in the Fandom which is largely Queer Women see the Queer in Hudson. But the GP doesn't need that much convincing. So, no matter how many signs Hudson sends us, and no matter what his behavior is like with Connor, the GP has been shown the relationship they want to accept, so his team is doing too much and it's going to bite them in ass. It's not a matter of if, but when.
Some people seem to think that K cannot be involved or complicit in this and to point out that she could be is being "misogynistic". I said I wouldn't be fake nice remember. If she is part of that friend group, there is no reason to believe she doesn't have the same motivations as they do. Maybe even more since she is the one that has been presented to the public as the closest to Hudson as the "gf".
There has been a picture from a TikTok account (not the leaker) that has the main goal of painting Hudson as a Queerbaiter, and saying nasty things about Connor as well. They recently posted a picture of Hudson and K both working at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Which is why that friend liking that post is bullshit, since it would stand to reason that when Hudson was "just a waiter" she was "just a waitress". But that got me thinking.
There is nothing romantic about the picture. Just two coworkers told to pose. K has on glasses in the picture and doesn't have the appearance we've grown accustomed to, slick back, tattoos, tacky purses (I'm sorry I had to). It made me think about how I said a while back Hudson looks like the type of guy everyone has a crush on when they meet him. The problem with that is just because everyone has a crush on you, obviously doesn't mean you would like them back. I get the feeling, and this is just my opinion, that if they ever dated, she was more into him then he was into her, and if they dated it was because Hudson was still figuring out his sexuality, and had a Shane moment, where he thought clicking with a girl meant that it was romantic.
Now of course I don't think they ever actually dated, however that doesn't mean people can't assume they did and I think K liked/likes people thinking that about their relationship. That is until Connor showed up. I feel like that NYE visit was the turning point, because at the Toronto premiere in November she looked happier than she looks currently. Also, apparently Hudson spent Christmas with her, something that is a tradition for them. However, inviting Connor for NYE probably reinforced that the September visit wasn't a one-off thing, and that Connor was going to be in Hudson's life outside of Heated Rivalry. That's why starting with that Europe trip in January to current you see the lemon face. She knows that Connor has the top space in Hudson's life and she doesn't like it and is holding on, which fine I guess I get that, but it's not cool if the other person isn't happy and has moved on, which is what it seems like Hudson has done. This is all my own opinion, speculation, and conjecture, so if you get offended that's on you. I'm not stating this as fact, just my thoughts.
Alright y'all I'm tired of literally all of this so I'm out. My parting thought is that June will be a month of cleaning house for Hudson. I don't think he's going in to filming Season 2 with the baggage that he currently has. It will be shed by the time he's on set with this HR family again. I still think that rainbow on Hudson's pant leg was a good omen since it's Pride Month, and I'm manifesting that he gets some time with Connor to recenter.
