“ hoi polloi are mad at her for doing too much … So it ’s like , well , okay ? ”
During a tumultuous time in her life,Jennifer Lopezhas the support ofAndy Cohen.
As I’m sure you know, on May 31, it was announced that J.Lo hadcanceled her This Is Me… Live Tourless than a month before it was slated to kick off this week.
The news followed reports oflow ticket salesand last-minute changes tothe tour’s branding. In a statement, Jen said she was “completely heartsick and devastated” to have let fans down.
The tour’s cancelation came amid much speculation about the state of J.Lo’smarriage to Ben Affleck, whom she wed in 2022.
Though neither Jen nor Ben have directly commented on the reports of their marital woes, insiders have suggested that they’re “living separate lives.” On June 9,Entertainment Tonightalso reported that the couple are trying to “quietly” sell their$60.8 million mansion, which they bought just over a year ago.
Amid everything going on, J.Lo has faced much criticism, particularly regarding her canceled tour. Notably, a June 10 article from theHollywood Reporterspeculated that her tour’s lack of demand and subsequent cancelation was down to “unlikability” and “fickle fans” losing interest in her.
However, not everyone thinks this is the case — including Andy Cohen, who’s worked with the singer numerous times.
During Friday’s episode of hisDaddy Diariespodcast, Andy and his cohost, John Hill, defended J.Lo and said they don’t “understand” why people are being “so mean” to her.
Andy also took a moment to praise J.Lo’s “amazing” performance skills, having previously watched her live inLas Vegas.
“People are mad at her for doing too much,” he said. “So it’s like, well, okay? What’s she supposed to do? Too little? I don’t know. It just seems like schadenfreude, right?”
“My friend said, ‘Well, I mean, she’s pissed off a lot of people,’” he said. “Whatever. I go, ‘Let me say, she’s been onWatch What Happens Livefour times. No drama, wasn’t late, wasn’t anything, showed up, was game, did the show.”
