Resilience and perseverance in the journey of Jennifer Lopez. A timeline of obstacles and growth.
Jennifer Lopez, also known as J.Lo, is a multifaceted American entertainer celebrated as a singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, and businesswoman. She's recognized as a highly influential figure who broke barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and significantly contributed to the Latin pop movement. Furthermore, Lopez has made a substantial impact on popular culture, particularly through her influence on fashion, branding, and evolving mainstream beauty standards.
On December 27, 1999, Jennifer Lopez, Sean Combs and rapper Shyne were arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of stolen property after leaving the scene of a shooting at a Times Square nightclub. However, charges against Lopez were dropped within an hour.
By 1999, Jennifer Lopez faced increased scrutiny, with Frances Negrón-Muntaner noting the explosion of "anti-Lopez babble" in Internet chat rooms due to anxieties about working-class sexuality and Latino visibility.
In 2001, Jennifer Lopez suffered a nervous breakdown due to being overworked while filming the thriller Enough.
In 2003, the failure of Jennifer Lopez's film Gigli contributed to a career downturn.
Speaking in 2003, Jennifer Lopez said regarding a sex scene added to the crime film U Turn (1997), that it was not something "I would have chosen to do" and that she and Stone fought over it: "It's hard being the only woman on a set."
In 2005, Jennifer Lopez starred in the drama An Unfinished Life alongside Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman. Critics expressed that they were not satisfied with anything she did at that time.
In 2006, Jennifer Lopez reunited with director Gregory Nava to star in the crime drama Bordertown as a journalist investigating female homicides in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The film was negatively reviewed and received a direct-to-video release.
In 2007, Jennifer Lopez starred opposite her then-husband Marc Anthony in the music biopic El Cantante, which told the story of Puerto Rican salsa singer Héctor Lavoe and his wife Puchi. It did not perform well at the box office and received mixed reviews from film critics.
In late 2009, after rehiring former manager Medina, Jennifer Lopez released two songs, "Louboutins" and "Fresh Out of the Oven". However, the songs failed to chart on Billboard, leading to her departure from Sony Music and Epic Records.
In 2019, Jennifer Lopez's perceived Academy Award snub for her role in Hustlers was referenced by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti when announcing a new initiative for Latino representation in Hollywood.
