Jennifer Lopez leaves event after someone asks about Diddy’s allegations: report

Fans of Jennifer Lopez, who were eager to get her autograph, were reportedly left disappointed last week when she allegedly stopped signing suddenly after someone in the crowd asked her about Sean “Diddy” Combs, her ex-boyfriend, and the sex-trafficking allegations against her.

Lopez was attending a screening and Q&A for her new film, “Unstoppable,” at AFI Fest 2024 in Los Angeles, Mirror US reports. The screening took place on Saturday, and the college sports drama was produced by Lopez’s husband, Ben Affleck, and his production company with Matt Damon.

But during an autograph event for “Unstoppable,” Lopez faced an awkward question about another famous ex, the Mirror reported. As the singer and actor tried to greet fans, someone in the crowd asked, “J. Look, do you have any thoughts on P. Diddy and the allegations?”

Lopez immediately stopped signing autographs, The Mirror reported. He and his team began to move away from the crowd. The people in the crowd called out to him, “Don’t go,” but he left through the door, “out of sight,” said Seipone.

The awkward moment comes as Lopez is on the verge of divorcing Affleck. Meanwhile, she continues to remain silent on the troubling allegations of sexual assault against Combs, who she dated from 1999 to 2001. The music producer and founder of Bad Boy Records remains has been in federal custody since September and faces charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy. charges.

Combs has also been hit with more than 20 lawsuits from women and men, who say he and his accusers sexually assaulted them while attending his infamous parties.

Lopez has faced scrutiny over her relationship with Combs since her Sept. 16 arrest. The lawsuit’s allegations cover events that began in the 1990s and continued through 2022, some of which allegedly occurred while Lopez and Combs were a high-flying celebrity couple.

Perhaps most uncomfortable for Lopez are the allegations that came in a federal lawsuit filed last week. The 37-year-old woman claims that, as a 13-year-old girl, she was sexually assaulted by Combs – with the help of an unnamed man and woman – at a party the mogul hosted after 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. . Although the case did not make Combs famous, Lopez was Combs’ date for the 2000 VMAs, and she won an award that September night for best video of the dance.

This week, newly discovered photos were published in the Daily Mail, purporting to show Lopez and Combs attending a star-studded party at the 2000 VMAs. The awards ceremony took place on Sept. 7, 2000 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, while the after party was held at the now-defunct Lotus nightclub.

Photos show Lopez and Combs in a heated confrontation, with Lopez appearing to yell at the rapper, the Daily Mail reported. A partygoer told the Daily Mail that the commotion ended when Combs left the nightclub with his entourage and a group of women.

It appears that the attack on the 13-year-old girl happened that night at another house. The Daily Mail said the timing of the attack adds a “disturbing dimension” to the evening’s events and raises questions about the strength of Lopez’s relationship with Combs, at a time now beset by serious allegations.

In 1999, Lopez became involved in another criminal dispute involving Combs. They were arrested in December of that year while fleeing a Manhattan nightclub after a shooting, which left three people injured. Combs was charged in 2001 for the shooting, and Lopez testified, but Combs was acquitted by the jury.

Over the years, Lopez hasn’t talked much about her relationship with Combs, though she described it as “stormy” and “emotionally exhausting” towards the end. He also said that they broke up “many times,” would get back together, and then break up again.

Lopez’s ex-husband, Ojani Noa, whom the mega-star met and married early in her career, recently blamed Combs for the breakup of their marriage in 1998 after 11 months. .

In an interview with Univision, Noa, a Cuban immigrant who met Lopez while working as a waitress in Miami, said, “Part of the divorce was Diddy’s fault.”

“When Sony came and paid him the millions he got, there was Puffy (Combs), who would be one of the producers of several songs on (his) album. the first one, ‘On The 6,'” Noah told the outlet. Spanish, according to Page Six. “That’s where the deception, the lies, the division started.”
