It’s safe to say that a few months ago, online hate toward Jennifer Lopez was at an all-time high.
TURN THE CAR OVER! Netizens change their attitude towards Jennifer Lopez after seeing these things
For context, J.Lo has received criticism for years. From her relationship history to her singing ability, internet users have always found an excuse to make fun of her online.
But things got way worse in recent months — namely since the release of her album, This Is Me… Now, her movie of the same name, and her documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, earlier this year.

As you might be aware, Jen’s three projects were poorly received by critics. Her album, which was her first in a decade, debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 charts, while her film was branded “weird” and “boring” in reviews.
Meanwhile, several standout moments from Jen’s documentary caused a stir online — like her casually showing private love letters from then-husband Ben Affleck to a bunch of her musicians, which fans found “invasive,” or her so-called “cringey” comments about growing up in the Bronx.
Then the Met Gala rolled around, and Jen was filmed responding very bluntly to a reporter on the red carpet who asked about her outfit. Fans accused her of being “rude” and “dismissive” in the now-viral clip, which further fueled the online hate toward her.

Meanwhile, in May, Jen reportedly detailed feeling “misunderstood” amid the relentless criticism, according to a source who spoke to Entertainment Tonight.
However, things have since taken a huge turn.

As you’re probably aware by now, news broke last month that Jennifer had filed for divorce from Ben after two years of marriage.
