‘I Just Believed….I Wasn’t Any Good’: Jennifer Lopez Claims ‘Abusive, Racist Media Coverage’ Made Her Question Her Career
On June 14th, Jennifer Lopez’s documentary “Halftime” was released on Netflix. The documentary begins with the 50th birthday of Jennifer Lopez in June 2019 and covers many significant events in her life like the release of her movie “Hustlers,” and her Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira.
Jennifer Lopez talked about how the media affected her confidence
The documentary highlights some racist media coverage of Jennifer Lopez, her body, and her personal life that she faced in the 2000s. She said, “I just believed what they said, which was that I wasn’t any good.” She also added that it made her question her acting, singing, and dancing. She describes the media as “really abusive, dysfunctional.”
She also talked about sharing the stage with Shakira at the Super Bowl 2020 Halftime
In the documentary, she also talked about sharing her 2020 Super Bowl show with Shakira. She said it was “the worst idea.” She was upset because two people had to share the stage for the halftime show and called it “the worst idea in the world”. The halftime show ran for about 14 minutes, giving both of them only about seven minutes each to perform some of their best songs.
She said in her documentary, “This is the worst idea in the world to have two people perform at the Super Bowl. It was the worst idea in the world, If it was going to be a double-headliner, they should have given us 20 minutes. That’s what they should’ve f**king done.”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged in April and some sources claim that they both got married in a private ceremony.
