lmao "at this point the block needs to send J.Lo a cease and desist"

Missed opportunity - resting Ben face

That bodega order bothers me so much, she took 40 minutes to remember the most basic 'go to order' in the world. Girl get out of here, did you even go to the bodega ever? I still remember my go-to order from an American-style diner I went to a handful of times before it closed in 2002. I still remember my go-to subway order and I haven't eaten subway in like 10 years and it wasn't some basic ass white ass ham and cheese on a roll.

"The hood is not glamorous." THIS.

I thought that first impersonator WAS JLo 😂 she was so good!

J Lo literally did the "fake it til you make it" thing

Ben just comes off as exhausted/depleted to me. And I totally understand why- any high maintenance, narcissistic personality like JLo's would do that to you.

I think the underwhelming sales and streams of her new album show how little relevance she had nowadays... Which is ok! The problem is that she doesn't seem to accept that, which only makes things worse. What people saw as an icon, they now see as desperate. A great example of someone who handled this better is Mariah Carey. Her most recent album would be considered a flop, but because she handles it all with grace and acceptance, she's still perceived as a high status icon. No one cares that her album didn't do well - because she doesn't act desperate about it.

the thumbnail title got me giggling😂😂 THE BODEGA

1:51 I honestly thought that was JLo for a second 😂

I lost my husband to a heart attack 9 weeks ago. Thank you for being an inspiration to keep going.

What I love about the bodega thing is that her go to sandwich was a Tesco £3 meal deal.

JLo funded the movie that flopped, this was all her. Ben told her not to do it.

i don't really care about "celebs" full-stop but your level-headed and self-aware approach to the gossip machine/tabloid trash makes me click, watch, and then not actively hate myself. hope you're doing well, lady

I completely agree with you about thinking JLO was famouse in the 2000. I am a K-pop fan and when I heard a group I like were colabing with a big western artist I was exited, then I found out it was JLO and was significantly less exited. Like sure her name is recognizable and I know shes been in a nerflix film recently but I don't feel like loads of people in 2024 are eegerly awaiting her new music releases.

Ben's more relevant than jlo and she hates it 😅

The drink she is talking about is the Orange Lil Hugs barrels. I confirmed it with my mother who grew up in the Bronx projects, apparently was popular for the price that kids can afford

JLO and Ben Affleck are simply not that compatible in the long term. Also everyone has his or her time or season. JLO may have a season again. Personally I was turned off on JLO when she was a judge on American Idol. She acted catty to many of the female contestants.

Here's the thing..... I will still blast La Tortura and Whenever Whatever in 2024. Who the fuck is trying to blast I'm Real or Jenny from the Block?

Odd thought, but I wonder if she's a tad resentful (not even in a strong way) of the Dunkin ads that Ben did. Because those went over super well, and it highlighted his own background in New England.

The people J Lo went to school with said she’s not from the Bronx. She is from New York. She went to a private school. her friends in school said they were never running around the Bronx by themselves at bodegas. Not that I really care, but if anyone is interested. i understand how some people feel like their real life might be boring and they wanna spice up the truth. but the funny thing is people don’t care much about the backstory there’s lots of celebrities we know nothing about their life outside of a movie or song.

He is speaking if her relationship with media attention, the pap particularly. Rumored last straw was her sharing a book of his intimate letters & emails to her with all who were on set.

And then there's "I don't know her" 😂😂

I sent my therapist a sad Affleck meme once to request a new appointment.

I havent even watched the video yet but I want you to know as a latina in the Bronx myself….. we do not claim her LMFAO

If you listen to "If You Had My Love" nowadays, you can hear all the sour notes she was hitting on the song lol

I just remembered that Ben speaks better Spanish than her...

For me the concert thing is real. They need to start lowering the prices or people aren’t going to go to the shows anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd totally believe that it's a ticket sales issue. People aren't spending like they have cash to burn in their pockets. At least in the artist/vendor community where I'm at, it's a similar issue. If you don't have little $5-$10 things, people tend to hold onto their money.

Ben Affleck has spoken about his past substance abuse problems. I feel like he's someone who can't really "put on" the celebrity persona the way other celebrities can, or learned to. I think it's also interesting to track his career - he was an actor in his teens, and then truly hit the big time when he won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Good Will Hunting alongside Matt Damon, whom he also co-starred with in that movie. But then, I think he wasn't really able to fit into the leading man mold, despite having conventionally handsome looks, especially in the late-90s and early-2000s. A lot of his star vehicles didn't fully work, things like Daredevil, Gigli and Paycheck, and those happened very close to each other and he got ridiculed for it. Then he focused on more dramatic roles and started directing, and gained quite a bit of acclaim for directing movies like Gone Baby Gone, The Town and Argo, and it seemed like he had completed a redemption arc. Then he was cast as Batman in the DC Extended Universe, and was caught up in the behind-the-scenes tumult of that franchise, which also aggravated his drinking and he said in interviews that his friend voiced their concern that if Ben continued playing Batman, he would drink himself to death. So I think those ups and downs in his career are also a factor in how the public perceives him and projects onto him, as he said in the interview with Kevin Hart.

As much as I think she sucks but they're broken up now. I can't imagine making 3 projects about their love story then breaking up

Yea ticket prices are just ridiculous and have been for a while now. Obviously tickets to a live concert are going to be expensive but damn there has to be a limit (also factor in the placement of the seats and who is singing) But still, yeesh I feel kinda bad for JLO bc like I don't think she has any other identity other than... y'know being from NY and the Bronx etc. Also her fame from the 90s-2000s. You see this in Madonna and such. Like you can still do other things to continue your fame?! Like try something new.

Wasn't the issue that jlo was repping the block when she was raised rich went to a super nice school. Shes a nepo baby that has wanted to be relatable so bad! She wasn't raised in any hood.

You're so honest and transparent. Thanx! Honestly i used to like her "dancing" but since she started selling liquor with a husband in recovery that made me think twice. She sells other stuff. But that was a turn off for me. The sad thing is she reminds me of my sister. R.I.P. she was always looking for love and got married more times than Jlo. The kids on both sides suffer. She and Ben suffer. Even though she put on that show in Italy. I just pray the kids are fine and they can agree to disagree. Move on with their lives. I read somewhere Love is not two people looking into each others eyes. Love is two people looking @ the same direction. Gbless all of them,and you too! 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏

Her tickets not selling obviously not due to economy. Because Taylor swift’s just had a 10 billion$ tour last year. And this year she did one in Singapore. Countries in Asia fought and competed to get her concert in their countries but she only picked Singapore. Tickets Sold out instantly. Some people paid 12k$

The fact that we just discussed Ben Afflec mentioning people project their emotions onto him, to then giving a CLEAR example of people doing that to JLo with the whole bodega thing, is astonishing to me. I'm not 100% defending JLo, however the bodega BS is stupid to me and imo people are getting way too upset about it. She mentioned an orange drink that was unbranded, unlabelled, and came in a plastic container. Iykyk was for the people who might've gotten the same unlabelled bottle of orange juice/drink that she did. There's pictures of it, it suddenly makes sense when you see it bc it's literally unlabelled. Wtf else is she supposed to call it? People are getting seriously mad over this? Get a hobby dude

Southeast Asian girl here. J.Lo is a household name here while Ben Affleck is not. So I can see why people think she’s more famous and that Ben struggles with her level of fame.

not a jlo fan at all, but shouldn't the same go for every rapper from * insert neighbourhood here *, they make careers and fuck tons of money off of being "ghetto" and how fame and money haven't changed them.....

I’m not a fan of jlo however I’m mature enough to know she’s solidified in the entertainment industry

The orange drink is actually interesting because it really is an if ya know you know because they werent everywhere back in the day. Now a days there called hugs, but back then they were just miscellaneous little drinks.

The door slam thing… it’s possible he was pissed about paparazzi being there. I know I for one would be and he’s a private person generally.

He always looks like he’s being bullied into being in a relationship with a person who wants constant media attention, when all he wants is to be left alone. But who knows, maybe he loves it.

I did not watch her movie (doc or whatever it is called) but I saw some clips. Ben gave her a book with all their emails and letters from over the years . She shared it with her team that was working on her new album. It felt weird to share such a personal thing. He did not seem happy about it either. It was an invasion of privacy but she did not think it was a big deal.

I personally don’t feel that bad for him. He left his other wife for Jlo…

Please tell me where you get your t shirts 😭😭

My biggest issue with J.Lo is her co-opting the Bronx to elevate herself while NEVER using her own name to elevate the Bronx. Theres an epidemic of violence happening in the Bronx - my 16 year old little brother was shot and killed in the Bronx two fucking weeks ago in front of a bodega - and instead of using her millions to try and do something, literally ANYTHING, to help, she blows it all on a self indulgent, ego boosting, shitty ass movie/music video/album and failure of a world tour.

Giulia my Dear , you are a Doll 🤗.

I'm not from "the block" and I've never shopped in a bodega. I do, however, love a good bacon sammich.

As someone from a different continent, what is a bodega? Google says a winery?

I thought that quote about jlo's fame was old from they first began dating in 2004. Anyway, I believe Ben was using JLo because she has a soft spot for him and so does his ex wife( he is the father of their kids afterall) and he takes advantage of that. He definitely needs help and so does jlo who cant seem to be without a man/ guy in her life

Orange drink is an 80's barrel 25 cent drink

The ticket sales thing is widespread. Porter Robinson might have to find smaller venues

The memes of Ben keep him relevant with the youth 😅

Well Beyonce grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all her life and has never even been to the 'hood, but nobody's got issues with her acting hood or referencing such lifestyle in her songs... If JLo does something similar, capital sin. There's a personal vendetta and a mob mentality trend to bully this woman for absolutely no reason blowing things out of proportion

She's worth $400 million, whole he's worth $150 million, according to the internet. That could be an issue.

I need to hear more about the hot cheese popcorn

I don’t know how to feel because it’s always been known like really always been known that J-lo is a huge b-word to not just fans but people she works with. Narcissistic.

It's not about the sandwich. It's the fact that she seems so inauthentic.

After a long 48hours of consuming alarming amounts of internet gabble I love hitting up a ready to glare video for a nuansed and well spoken take on any subject 🖤

She's trying to be relevant and cool by showing she's like the regular people. But she is not relevant or like the regular people and she's trying too hard. She needs to stop and just go live her rich life off camera.

I'm glad to see you talk about this. I was wondering, but after this I think people are throwing too much judgement at her. That's how we've become from the pandemic imo. People really need to criticize this? Nope. We're still who we were, at least part of us is. We revisit our early years for various reasons, remembering good times and struggles. To me JLo has felt out of reach, like the pro we admire who stands above the rest, impeccable, especially at red carpet events. She's not accessible like many current stars are, especially those who started on KZfaq. Idk her intentions with her recent work. If she's trying to become accessible or share parts of her life, that's cool but maybe also awkward. We don't judge others with longtime careers and fame this way, such as Bon Jovi, Ben Affleck and others who get to keep their heritage. But JLo shares hers and we bash her for it. Not cool.

The store I work for had her as a brand ambassador and they fired her a month ago even though her contract was supposed to be for another year. They didn’t tell us a reason for firing her but what I can say is she made us so much money in the beginning but the past year most of our clients are like “ew JLO”

You seem like the kind of person I'd enjoy having coffee with. Your videos are very interesting and I enjoy listening to your perspective!

my favorite meme is "mi gente latino"

Last comment but I was dumb and thought orange drink was a Kenan and Kel joke and how he loves orange pop

this jlo content is keeping my juices flowing, keep up the good work, love u

Atlas was a tough hang, but I also feel like it's more than just a JLo problem. A lot of genre movies that get made for and released on streaming platforms just feel like fake movies, and Atlas has that in spades.

I didn't even know they were together 😅

idk but i feel like people who were there to witness her fame kind of overestimate jennifer’s level of fame while looking back on her relevance the past decade and a half, bc for example as a teenager i literally had never heard of her up until this whole thing started, and i can promise most of my classmates wouldn’t have known much about her either. ben affleck on the other hand is one of those well known actors who even though hes not in his prime anymore i still know about in passing, like i could still put a face to the name and tell you a movie i saw that he was in despite not having watched much with him in it. hes not really relevant in a big way but hes a cemented figure in his field, unlike jlo who just faded into obscurity for so long. anyways after this whole thing her relevance has definitely skyrocketed, even if it won’t be for long.

Can you make a vídeo adressing the Inabber stuff? The video you made about it has gotten quite a bits hate and dislikes. The title comes across as a clickbait and insensitive. I like your content a lot, your videos as well as doug demuro taught me more english so I like you but that video doesn’t looks good on you. I mean no hate (my english is very bad so i am sorry.)

I'm not really buying this "I don't like the spotlight" claims Ben is making lately. Didn't he have a super high profile romance with Ana de Armas? There's no way that relationship had that many pictures unless they were calling the paparazzi themselves.

I'm going on 3 years, married, and 11 years with my husband. I don't put on my ring unless it's a special occasion

The guy repping the hood from a Hawaii resort "leave us alone, god" 😅 nailed it 🎉 what a g

She grew up middle class. She wasn’t from the “block.” No one on that block remembers her ever living there 🙄

That ready to glare wig must weigh 10 pounds! 🤣

I have a suspicion that Jlob calls the paparazzi in advance of going somewhere

Are we forgetting the fact that she's probably "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends" before she has to answer for that (alleged) nightclub shooting with Diddy from back in the day?

What is the bodega? I'm sorry I'm not form the US, is it a restaurant? I don't understand what the fuss is about. Thanks

Ben is all of DC and Marvel and View Askew and Jennifer is a former Icon. If she really wanted to pay homage to her roots in New York she would play a free stadium concert thanking the city and the fans for making her famous. I live in California and I see a free show at least once a month on account of all the bands that came out of where I'm from. When I lived in North Florida I went to see Yellowcard do a free show at a large venue there for the fans since they're from Jacksonville. Jennifer Lopez is so unbelievably out of touch that something as simple as doing what those ahead of her have done in order to breathe new life into their fan base is so off the docket for her bc she'd never do anything if she wasn't getting paid.

I think when he’s talking about Jlo’s intense fame he probably means the way she acts like she’s still in the 2000s. Reportedly, she’s not gracious towards anyone who isn’t also famous. It’s also possible that she has a couple of deranged holdover fans they have to watch out for. But the reality of JLo’s fame and how they’re perceiving her fame is not adding up. Also, the documentary about her not-movie-musical made me think he was incredibly embarrassed by and for her, but was doing his best (in a taciturn man way) to be publicly supportive of her. I’m positive the reality of being married to JLo is/was not matching up with the fantasy.

Tay-tay has done to female pop singers what Jackie Chan has done to other action movie stars.

The thing is, that Jlo was an icon that was also put in the same category as Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Christiana Aguilera.... And, although JLo works probably harder than all of those icons, talent wise, she does not even come close to a comparison. Even when they compare her to Shakira. Shakira did a slight crossover into the English world for a very short period of time. But she still dominates charts in the Latino billboards. She's still very relevant in the Latino billboards, and has always put out albums and songs and is absolutely adored and respected in the Latino Billboards. Her ex-husband, Marc Anthony is another one that although he did the English crossover once, what people don't realize is that till this day he's still very relevant in the Latino billboards. JLo just does not compare to the icons that she's been compared to. But yet she wants the same type of respect and recognition. And it's like you can't have it when you don't have the same talent of the people that you're being compared to. Everyone can collectively agree that she is a hard worker. And that she puts in a lot of effort in all the work that she puts out. But even with all the hard work, a lot of what she puts out just comes out as mediocre. Her time of prime has long sailed. And she still doesn't understand that doing more and being in the limelight as much as she is is not helping her gain that respect that she's so longs for.

I'm worried about Ben

Saturn retrograde is wrecking Jlo the most.

So glad to see you with every your new video ❤

She certainly seems to be a bit of a peach. Gotta be honest, he seems a bit of hard work as well. I'd have to agree with you on him being who I considered the more powerful LA player of the two - but JLo was my jam back in the day so I'm disappointed with the clips from the documentary - that she has a personality which thought it was a good idea to create the documentary. And a lot of the stories of her being cruel and mean-hearted to other women and any poor service worker who crossed her path - that doesn't shout good person to me.

Does anyone else hear that ringing?

Did you mean ... beaux dégâts? 😂😂😂

The shows were cancelled due to low ticket sales. Please. She wouldn’t let ANYTHING get between her and a full stadium. I hope both of them are okay, for their kids. Divorce is hard enough.

I'm thinking it's somethinf to do with Puff Daddy

What the hell is that high pitched noise in the background, it’s killing my ears

I think a lot of people forget her age so on that level some grace needs to be shown but it just goes to show it’s been so long since she’s been on the “block” that the order is irrelevant now. That was decades ago.

When I think of J-Lo I think of her stealing Mariah music or keeping artist vocals in her music and her most famous album This me the Jenny from the block one she hardly sang those songs

Jlo is from an era of music when beauty was more important than talent. She never had what I would call "a voice". Stars from that era don't last long today. The public just expects more and they can't deliver. This isn't a "dig" on Jlo. She's a better dancer than a singer.

J lo tries too hard. At this point she really doesn’t have to anymore, but the point that she still does makes her appear so needy.

yoooo, he better take back that comment about beef patties😤

She definitely thinks “Orange drank” is the LatinX equivalent of “Purple drank”. 😂

You're channel is great, and I came on here thinking you'd say something nice about her, but its negative. You're so awesome, I don't understand why you don't like her. JLo is amazing.

- Raise prices of tickets to ridiculously high levels. - Tickets sales are going bad. - [Shocked Pikachu face]

To be totally fair to jlo, I grew up in a city where my family lived for 5 generations but the entire population/demographic changed so almost all of us moved out. Once all the families who felt attached to the city left due to crime, gang violence and corrupt politics, everything changed and you recognize almost no one. If someone went to my original "block" very few would recognize me, not because I'm not from there, but because the new residents aren't.
