Kate Hudson Song Sung Blue Controversy: Response to 'Monster' Claims
Kate Hudson responds to Michael Sardina Jr.'s claims that she and Hugh Jackman are 'monsters' for their roles in the Song Sung Blue controversy.
Hollywood stars are facing a PR firestorm. Kate Hudson is finally addressing the scathing criticism leveled against her and her new biopic, Song Sung Blue, by the son of one of its real-life subjects.
Kate Hudson Song Sung Blue Controversy and the 'Monster' Allegations
The controversy erupted when Michael Sardina Jr., son of the late musician Mike Sardina, slammed Hudson and her co-star Hugh Jackman as "monsters." In a sharp interview with the Daily Mail, he claimed the film is built on lies and that the A-list actors intentionally ignored his existence during their global press tour.
Hudson's Diplomatic Deflection
When asked about the backlash by The Hollywood Reporter on January 8, 2026, Hudson didn't engage in a war of words. "Honestly, I don’t even know," she stated, adding that out of respect for the filmmakers, she wasn't the right person to speak on it. She pivoted the conversation to her positive experience with Claire 'Thunder' Sardina, noting that Claire is happy with the final film.
The 41-year-old Michael Jr. feels differently. Despite being paid as a consultant, he claims his father's legacy has been destroyed. He remains frustrated that despite being his father's only son, he was "purposefully cut out" of the narrative and never contacted by the lead actors.
