Jennifer Lopez seems to have just as much staying power as her diva reputation.
And although much of the bad press comes from tabloid speculation, some of her celebrity
cohorts might actually agree with those unflattering rumors.
These celebs have had it up to here with Jenny from the Block.
"I'm the only one that's not crying.”
The Lopez-Carey feud has played out since the early 2000s, and it all began with four
little words Mariah Carey once uttered to a reporter, when she said of Lopez,
"I don't know her."
When Andy Cohen brought up the beef in 2014, Lopez played the whole thing off, saying,
"I don't have a feud against her at all.
I know from back in the day I've read things that she's said about me that were not the
greatest.”
She claimed the two truly don't know each other, but added,
"I would love to meet her and I would love to be friends with her."
But she sang quite the different tune with Wendy Williams in 2016:
"We've met many times.
I don't know, I don't know her that well.”
Following Carey's disastrous New Year's Eve performance that December, Lopez found an
opportunity to throw a little shade, when a user posted:
"Ever seen an accident you couldn't take your eyes away from?
That was her tonight!"
Lopez liked the post.
Nicki Minaj and Lopez first exchanged jabs in 2012 on American Idol when Minaj performed
and Lopez was a judge.
After the rapper finished her set, she asked,
"I was hoping maybe I could come back and be a guest judge.
JLo, can you scoot over a little bit?"
Things got even icier when Lopez quipped back,
"I don't know if there's enough room for both of us."
"I was like maaaaaaan.”
Fast forward to 2015, and things between the two didn't seem to be any better.
When Lopez opened the American Music Awards with a medley of songs that included an excerpt
from Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda," Minaj looked like she wasn't having it.
But when a fan tweeted the clip and proclaimed,
"Damn JLo […] Nicki Minaj facial expression says it all."
…Minaj fired back, saying,
"LOL Says what all?
I'm looking at my own face on the screen when I'm looking to the right.
I turn back and look at her."
"I wanna say, but it would be so real, that I can't"
Almost as soon as Lopez shared a snap of herself chilling with Drake backstage at her Vegas
show in 2016, rumors flew that the two were dating.
And Lopez sure didn't help matters when she then posted a pic of the rapper giving her
a cozy bear hug.
"You know it's one of those things, it's a maybe one day, maybe not.”
While some didn't believe the hype, Drake's sometimes love interest, Rihanna, sure seemed
to take the posts to heart.
An unnamed insider told In Touch, she felt like she had suffered what she called "the
ultimate betrayal," calling Lopez quote, "desperate."
Although Rihanna never publicly addressed the issue, she threw some major shade when,
in 2016, she unfollowed Lopez on Instagram.
Despite both being Puerto Rican-American dancers who grew up in New York - according to Rosie
Perez's 2014 memoir, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life - the ladies sure don't get along.
Perez recalled their time working on In Living Color, saying,
"All of the girls were coming into my office complaining how [Lopez] was manipulating wardrobe,
makeup, and me, all to her advantage."
"Ahhhh, I'll never tell.
I'll never tell.”
Although Lopez left the show after just two seasons, Perez accused the star of keeping
their feud alive long after they parted ways.
Once when they crossed paths in a Hollywood club, Perez wrote,
"[Lopez] came over to me, smiling, saying hello as if nothing had happened.
I should've let it go, played it off too.
Instead, I killed her with my biting tongue."
"We don't see each other, and that's ok too.
We're two grown adults that have moved on.”
Lopez and Jenna Dewan seemed to get along just fine when they both appeared on NBC's
World of Dance.
The two dancers never showed any signs of animosity on camera, but according to OK!
Magazine, the vibe was very different behind the scenes.
"It's a battle.
You gotta bring it.
You can't half bring it to a battle."
A source told the outlet,
"Jenna can't stand Jen's over-the-top theatrical fakery.
Jen never fails to ham it up when the cameras are rolling, and she hijacks the show.
[…] Every situation, even off camera, is micromanaged by JLo, and Jenna feels very
excluded."
But the alleged feud may need to be taken with a big grain of salt.
Gossip Cop reportedly reached out to a show producer, as well as Dewan's rep, and was
told that the reports of a beef were absolutely not true.
"Where are you going?
Snacks?
Anybody?”
