Jennifer Lopez is being called out online after a video of her being short with a reporter at the Met Gala surfaced online. At the event, JLo stunned in a form-fitting Schiaparelli gown that showed off plenty of skin. She added a dazzling diamond bracelet, multiple rings, and matching earrings and a necklace to accessorize the glam look. Lopez wore her long hair in a bun on top of her head and carried a clutch in her hand. However, she walked the red carpet alone after it was revealed that her husband, Ben Affleck, was unavailable to be at the event at her side.
In a video from the night, Lopez is seen being asked what designer created her lavish dress. JLo is seen giving USA Today reporter Anika Reed a short look before simply answering “Schiaparelli” in a curt tone and quickly looking away as she was helped up the steps by her assistant. The video has since gone viral and fans are reacting to the singer’s rude behavior, per Page Six.
Jennifer Lopez Irks Fans for Met Gala Behavior Sans Ben Affleck
“Her kindness radiates through the screen,” one person commented on the video. “Not you getting the JLo experience,” another stated. “The up and down stare is crazy,” a third comment read. “What a ray of sunshine,” another fan sarcastically quipped. “Like how dare you not know,” one fan agreed. “The way she said it. Like Schiaparelli… you peasant,” a social media user barbed.
However, one source tells the outlet that Jennifer Lopez wouldn’t intentionally be curt to reporters. Instead, she was simply attempting to climb the stairs in the restrictive gown as several journalists were shouting at her. Meanwhile, JLo may have been a bit upset that she didn’t have Ben Affleck with her at the event.
The couple have been dodging rumors that their marriage is on the rocks for months. The latest headlines about the duo claim that they’re taking some time apart, as Affleck can get overwhelmed by the media attention their relationship tends to get.
Following the Met Gala, Jennifer Lopez jetted off for a girls’ trip to Paris. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck remained back home for work obligations.
