[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jennifer Lopez pursues one bad relationship after another. It's sad that after spending time in therapy and even making a movie about it, she is still pursuing unhealthy romantic relationships.

However, all this media coverage and internet gossio about her is so misogynistic (and I am
aware most of the chatter is coming from fellow women). I don't like her music, haven't seen her movies, but I marvel at how she gets absolutely trashed while the same level of vitriol isn't aimed at Ben, who is an addict, an alleged cheater, an alleged groper, and more.

But let's analyze the woman because she's allegedly rude. [/quote]

Ben gets bashed as well . All the time in fact. I think he’s the Hwood poster child of the addict which is unfair because he isn’t the only one,  and he is also the Internet mascot for the beleaguered/“trapped” family  man.

Photographers love getting his reaction and seeing if he drinks at events. There’s a whole industry related to Ben Affleck pap photos . It started maybe with the original Jennifer Lopez relationship in 2002, and maybe that’s why he’s resentful toward her for elevating his tabloid status[/quote]

The "miserable Ben Affleck" thing as taken as a meme, a joke. It's passed off as "Ben is only happy when he has Dunkin and/or is with Matt Damon." It's said that Ben is miserable at events because he's with Jennifer. These are lighthearted jokes, memes, people find them funny.

The coverage of Jennifer Lopez is not similarly lighthearted. She is a rude, a "b---h," stuck up, so high-maintenance no guy can put up with her (as 18:57 says), a flop, desperate, pathetic, delusional, and so on. Her coverage is not lighthearted memes. It's mockery. The recent coverage of her "orange drink" comment, her "running around wild in the Bronx" comments- those were talked about with scorn, doubt, mockery, casting her as a liar, questioning the authenticity of her claims, claiming she was stretching the truth to try to be "down." Not covered in a lighthearted manner like pictures of Ben Affleck carrying ten Dunkin cups, or smoking a cigarette and looking weary. Those are reacted to as being "relatable!"[/quote]

The stories  about her being rude or high maintenance and famously having a “Don’t look at me” rule go back decades and it’s from the little guys like stage hands, backup dancers, flight attendants , security , waitresses, fans, limo drivers, etc etc.

Her riders /dressing room
Demands for all white dressing rooms with scented candles and such are also famous as is her aversion to tipping or letting her love interests tip female waitresses

These things started within her own industry.

She had to rehabilitate  herself with American Idol to undo the diva image , but J Lo being high maintenance and stuck up to workers is a reputation she has.

She also has a reputation for being very hard working and for being beautiful . I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with nice dressing rooms but she herself started on the bottom as a backup dancer and it’s strange she would adopt rude behavior to people , but then also say she’s just Jenny from the Block. No she isn’t. She can’t have it both ways  [/quote]
