Jennifer Lopez recently shared her struggles with social media negativity following her divorce from Ben Affleck in an interview with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine. The singer discussed the impact of harsh comments and the pressures of public scrutiny.
Lopez, at 55, expressed vulnerability to online criticism, contradicting the tough image often expected of celebrities. “I’m not made of steel. If I see something hurtful, I can’t just shrug it off,” she confessed, highlighting the emotional toll despite her long-standing career.
Reflecting on the evolution of her public life, Lopez noted, “When I started, there was no Instagram, no Twitter. Social media came much later for me,” illustrating the changing landscape of fame from her early days to now. This shift exposed her to more direct public commentary, intensifying the scrutiny surrounding her personal life.
Despite the challenges, Lopez remains committed to her artistic passions and personal growth. Her recent divorce, marked by a high-profile yet brief reunion and subsequent separation from Affleck, has been a focal point of public discussion. However, Lopez emphasized that her fulfillment stems from her work and creativity rather than her relationships.
Looking ahead, Lopez embraces her independence and its possibilities, finding empowerment in navigating life on her terms. “I’m looking forward to what’s next, what I can do on my own. It’s empowering,” she stated, focusing on personal and professional resilience.
While social media continues to shape celebrity experiences, Lopez is determined to maintain her well-being and pursue happiness, regardless of external validation. Her journey underscores the complexities of life in the spotlight and the strength required to navigate it authentically.
