On-Set Drama Explodes! ‘The Voice’ Staff ‘Divided’ Over Jennifer Hudson Rehiring

The Voice is gearing up for season 15 and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned there is already some serious drama behind the scenes!

As fans know, “diva” ex-coach Jennifer Hudson has been cast for the upcoming season, alongside returning judges Adam Levine, 39, Blake Shelton, 41, and Kelly Clarkson, 36.

But according to an insider, “Jennifer is a complete diva nightmare and many people are perplexed as to why she was asked back.”

“When Jennifer left last season everyone was rejoicing because of the way that she treated cast and crew.”

“She had issues with the higher-ups over shameless self-promotion, temper tantrums and it caused everyone that works on the show to loathe her,” the insider said.

In addition, as RadarOnline.com previously reported, Hudson — whose nasty split from ex-husband David Otunga, 38, played out toward the end of season 13 — got a ton of backlash from fans over throwing her shoes at contestants while they were performing.

“Everyone who works on the show knows that it is not about her, unfortunately. It is about the ratings.”

“But no one is going to back down to her, especially Kelly. Kelly said she is going to win again so Jennifer better be ready to get defeated,” the insider added.
