A closer look at the most debated and controversial moments involving Jennifer Lopez.
Jennifer Lopez, or J.Lo, is a multifaceted American entertainer known for her achievements as a singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, and businesswoman. A highly influential figure, she has broken barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and significantly contributed to the Latin pop movement. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Lopez has impacted popular culture through her fashion choices, branding initiatives, and influence on mainstream beauty standards.
In 1998, Jennifer Lopez faced backlash after a Movieline interview where she was quoted as criticizing various actors and directors.
By 1999, according to Frances Negrón-Muntaner, "Internet chat rooms exploded with anti-Lopez babble", as Jennifer Lopez became a target for cheap laughs and anxieties about working-class sexuality and Latino visibility.
In 2003, Jennifer Lopez faced widespread media criticism due to her public relationship with Ben Affleck and her depiction as a demanding diva. She starred alongside Affleck in the box-office bomb Gigli. Additionally, in 2003, she released her second fragrance, Still Jennifer Lopez, and became the face of Louis Vuitton's fall advertising campaign.
In 2003, Jennifer Lopez spoke about a sex scene that was added by director Oliver Stone during the filming of U Turn in 1997, saying it was not something "I would have chosen to do" and that she and Stone fought over it.
In 2003, Lawrence Donegan of The Guardian posited that misogyny and racism were to blame for Jennifer Lopez's position as "the most vilified woman in modern popular culture".
In 2011, Jennifer Lopez's performance at the American Music Awards, where she wore a nude bodysuit, was criticized by Robin Givhan of The Daily Beast as "banal exhibitionism".
In May 2013, Jennifer Lopez's performance on the finale of Britain's Got Talent was deemed inappropriate and drew viewer complaints.
Following Jennifer Lopez's controversial performance at the Mawazine festival in 2015, Moroccan Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane called it "indecent" and "disgraceful".
In 2019, the perceived Academy Award snub for Jennifer Lopez's performance in Hustlers was referenced by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti when announcing a new initiative for Latino representation in Hollywood.
During her Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2020, Jennifer Lopez performed her song "Let's Get Loud" while cloaked in a large Puerto Rican flag, with children in metal cages displayed on the field, interpreted as a statement about the Mexico–United States border crisis and Trump's immigration policy.
