Jennifer Lopez’s life has been a magnet for gossip lately. Since early May, the media has been keeping a close eye on everything she does, from her career decisions to her relationship with Ben Affleck. The rumors are only growing, and now, even other celebrities are chiming in with their opinions about Lopez.
One of those celebrities is Meghan McCain, who didn’t hold back when sharing her thoughts. Let’s dive into the drama!
Meghan McCain Shares Her Thoughts
Meghan McCain, known for her work as a conservative commentator and former co-host of The View, recently decided to weigh in on the situation surrounding Jennifer Lopez. On her podcast Citizen McCain, she tackled the wave of negative comments Lopez has been facing recently.
The rumors about Lopez possibly splitting from Ben Affleck have been picking up steam, especially after Lopez canceled her This Is Me… Live tour.
“I feel bad because it feels like we’re bullying J.Lo, and I don’t want to add to it,” McCain said. But despite her concerns about the criticism Lopez has been receiving, she couldn’t ignore her own experiences with the star, describing Lopez as “a very unpleasant person.”
Not So Nice
McCain, now 39, recalled Lopez’s behavior when she appeared on The View. From McCain’s perspective, Lopez, now 54, wasn’t exactly friendly. In fact, McCain even compared her to other high-profile guests the show had welcomed over the years.
“Even someone like Kim Kardashian was incredibly nice. If you’re on a show for just a 10-minute segment… fake it for 10 minutes,” McCain said, hinting that Lopez didn’t even try to be polite for the short time she was on air.
But that wasn’t the end of it. McCain revealed that Lopez and her legal team had one of McCain’s TikTok videos removed. The video, which went viral back in April, was all about McCain’s less-than-pleasant interactions with Lopez.
“They took it down, claiming it violated terms of service for bullying… Allegedly!” McCain said, her frustration clear as she retold the story on her podcast.
The Viral Video
In the video that Lopez’s team had removed, McCain didn’t sugarcoat her feelings. She explained that Lopez had been a guest on The View several times, and it wasn’t a positive experience for her. “She’s not my favorite,” McCain admitted honestly.
She also talked about how Lopez always seemed to travel with a huge entourage, much bigger than most celebrities. “Some of the biggest stars I’ve met have one publicist. Lopez has more people with her than the president. I’m not joking,” McCain shared, clearly amazed by the size of Lopez’s team.
One of the strangest memories McCain shared was about a particular member of Lopez’s entourage. She recounted, “I’ll probably get in trouble for this, but one of Lopez’s staff members had the job of holding a mirror with lights while she was touched up backstage.” McCain couldn’t help but feel sorry for the guy, adding, “I remember thinking, ‘That poor guy.
What a weird job. He probably had dreams of being an artist or musician, and now he just holds J.Lo’s light.’”
More Rumors Swirl
While McCain’s comments stirred up attention, rumors about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship continue to fly. Recently, it was revealed that the couple quietly put their $60.8 million Beverly Hills mansion up for sale, just a year after buying it in May 2023. This unexpected move only added fuel to the fire, leading people to wonder if the couple is headed for a split.
Back in May, a source claimed that Lopez and Affleck were “taking time apart,” while another insider hinted that the couple was “having some issues.”
It’s been quite the journey for Lopez and Affleck. The two originally got together over twenty years ago, then broke up, only to reunite in 2021. They tied the knot in a small, intimate Las Vegas ceremony with just their children present, followed by a larger wedding celebration in Georgia.
Despite all the gossip and rumors surrounding their relationship, Lopez and Affleck have stayed quiet. In fact, they recently attended Ben’s daughter Violet’s high school graduation together, showing a united front. But with their home now on the market, people are left wondering if there’s more going on behind the scenes than they’re letting on.
