Jennifer Lopez “so embarrassing”: a video is controversial because of the alcohol problems of Ben Affleck

Tuesday, July 4, 2023, on the occasion of the American national holiday, Jennifer Lopez posted a video on her account instagram. In the latter, the 53-year-old singer promotes her new brand of alcohol, called Delola. “So I’m about to sneak in to get some Delola“, began Jennifer Lopez, who was in the car at the time of recording this famous video. “We have a few people coming for the holiday weekend and I realized we didn’t have any. So I’ll go to the store and buy some, hope they have it there“, added the musician, who wore for the occasion a caramel-colored sleeveless jumpsuit, as well as a pair of oversized sunglasses.

“I’m really excited, I love holiday weekends, I love spending time with my family and friends and having a little cocktail. I know a lot of people said, ‘Oh, she’s not even drinking, what’s she doing with a cocktail?’. And to tell you the truth, it was true for a long time, I didn’t drink. A few years ago, as you’ll see in several photos of me over the last 10, maybe 15 years, I had the occasional cocktail. I enjoy the occasional cocktail. I drink responsibly, I don’t drink to piss me off. I drink to be social, have a good time, and just relax and let loose, but always responsibly.“, added Jennifer Lopez. However, some Internet users have openly criticized the singer, in particular in relation to the problem of alcoholism from which her companion Ben Affleck suffers.

Ben Affleck has done several rehabs in the past

‘So embarrassing when she talks about drinking responsibly and not giving a shit knowing her husband suffered from alcoholism for years’, ‘I’m just confused that she’s talking about booze and cocktails when her husband is an alcoholic. It makes no sense and I find it very difficult to understand”, “So sad because her husband does not drink, why does she insist on telling us?”, “So confused with this video and how does that help Ben?”, “Why not respect your husband’s sobriety?”have written in particular the internet users.

As a reminder, Ben Affleck entered rehab several times to cure his addiction to alcohol over the years. However, some fans of Jennifer Lopez wanted to defend her. “Why should she pay for her husband? It’s her decision. She supports him and makes sure he’s under control. But again, it’s not her responsibility”, “The alcoholism of his husband has nothing to do with her. Her sobriety does not depend on her or anyone else”wrote the admirers of the singer.
