[Harpers Bazaar] Jennifer Lopez delivered a powerful speech in support of the Time’s Up movement in Puerto Rico earlier this year.
Asked if she ever experienced sexual harassment in Hollywood herself, she pauses thoughtfully.
“I haven’t been abused in the way some women have. But have I been told by a director to take off my shirt and show my boobs? Yes, I have. But did I do it? No, I did not.”
Lopez, who acknowledges the fine line that actresses have had to walk to speak up without jeopardizing their prospects, adds: “When I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, ‘What did I do? This man is hiring me!’ It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behavior wasn’t right. It could have gone either way for me. But I think ultimately the Bronx in me was like, ‘Nah, we’re not having it.’ ”

I do not believe her. Jennifer Lopez definitely pleased and slept her way through.

Unless she can prove it she can be accused of defamation and get sued

I seem to recall that Jen DID take off her top in U-Turn. So there is a mismatch with what she is saying here, unless she is referring to a different film.

“Show me your boobs”. So many men are so pathetic. Glad I am a woman in control of my faculties and not driven by an uncontrollable need to see boobs. Yeesh.

I don’t know the director and am not a fan of hers but I would never dare to judge her choice to name the director or not. It is her choice to make. Personally, I would tell the people who need to know (police, employers, etc) – I don’t think it is the general public’s business. If there are charges then yes the public deserves to know, but this court of public opinion is getting out of hand before all facts are known.

Oliver Stone, U-Turn. He is SCUM. We all know this already, say his name, J.Lo.
