Beyoncé Knowles has slammed rumors of a feud between herself and Dreamgirls co-star Jennifer Hudson, insisting there was no bad blood while filming the movie. The star claims she knew going in that her role playing Deena Jones was less dramatic than Hudson's part as Effie White and she didn't have a problem with it.

She explains, "I knew that the character that I played wasn't the star. She wasn't the underdog. She didn't have the struggle and the pain and the dramatic scenes that Effie had, and I was fine with that. It's really unfortunate that everyone is saying I'm jealous of Jennifer. It hurts my heart because it's so clichéd. They're saying I'm mad when I knew going into this that I was playing Deena. Because I'm a star they just automatically assume that I'm not humble enough to sit down and take a back seat, which I am."
