What is Jennifer Lopez Doing? Has Money Blinded Her?
On April 5th, Jennifer Lopez officially launched her Delola liquor brand, featuring products inspired by the Italian coastline. In a promotional video, J.Lo held a glass of wine and shared, “For decades, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of enjoying life.“
Backlash Over Hypocrisy in Selling Alcohol
However, just minutes after sharing the news with her 240 million social media followers, the singer faced immediate controversy. Many accused Lopez of being hypocritical, as she had previously spoken out about the negative effects of alcohol, but now she is openly selling it.
One commenter criticized, “Someone who claimed they don’t drink alcohol like her shouldn’t be getting involved in this kind of business.” Another bluntly added, “It seems like money has blinded her.“
Concerns About Ben Affleck’s Struggles with Alcoholism
Amid the backlash, many people began questioning what Ben Affleck might think about his wife launching a liquor brand, especially considering his past struggles with alcoholism and multiple rehab stints.
A disappointed social media user commented, “Jennifer was once my motivation to stay away from alcohol, but it’s unfortunate she’s made a mistake this time.“
The Delola Brand and J.Lo’s Vision
Previously, Jennifer Lopez had revealed that her alcohol business project had been in the works for two years. The Delola brand, named after her nickname Lola, was created to represent joy and carefree living.
Delola is the result of a collaboration between Jennifer Lopez, her manager Benny Medina, and industry veterans Ken Austin and Jenna Fagnan. Despite the criticism, Lopez remains committed to promoting the brand, which reflects her vision of celebrating life’s pleasures.
While Jennifer Lopez aims to promote Delola as a symbol of joy, her entry into the alcohol business has stirred controversy, with many questioning her motivations and Ben Affleck’s reaction to the venture. As the conversation continues, Lopez faces scrutiny over whether money and success have influenced her decision to launch a liquor brand despite her past statements about alcohol.
