Jude also expressed frustration about people thinking she’s like her character, Star. She clarified that she is much different than the fictional persona, revealing that she enjoys watching “Christian podcasts” and “cooking videos” and has no interest in joining shows like Bad Girls Club, despite fans’ repeated requests.

Jude starred in Star for three seasons, from 2016 to 2019, and fans continue to hold out hope that Lee Daniels will fulfill his promise to create a movie based on the show.
