I hate to inform you but JLo went full woke and virtue signaling in this one


I dont know. I used to respect JLo. She was this cool superstar that wasnt aging. What I saw in documentary was sad old woman who wants approval from Hollywood and kept virtue signaling like crazy.

I have to give credit in one thing - she showed how much she wanted that Oscar nomination. Like really, really much. Celebrities usually dont show that side. But now we know how much everyone wants it. Its hilarious.

Now bad stuff

1. Nepotism. She brought her daughter to sing with her on Superbowl. Its weird tendency how celebrities lost all shame and now are putting their small children on stage and in press. Pink, Jlo, Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and other...

2. She has favorite child. Daughter was trailing her practically everywhere. Her son made few blink and you’ll miss him cameos. It was weird.

3. Non-stop wokeness. I watched Pinks documentary and there was surprisingly no wokeness in there. She was just touring and talking about her family and life. Not JLo. She kept mentioning how she is "woman of color" and latina. And how groundbreaking for latino community and women of color is everything she does and did. Or something. None freaking stop.

And it was so funny because for the last 25 years she is multimillionare superstar. Yet keep acting as she got out of ghetto 6 month ago. She did this throughout her whole career.

Whats funny is that she never looked like latina. She is so white that she has to tan herself. You can see it in her young pictures. She used to have black hair and red lipstick. And was resembling latina a little. Then she went almost blond, put light lipstic and never returned to her latina look. Looks like ordinary white woman. Yet keeps exploiting it for her own gain and throws "oppressed minority card".

She is not a latina. She is American who was born in America. "Her parents, David López and Guadalupe Rodríguez, were born in Puerto Rico and moved to the U.S. mainland as children".

Even her parents are American because they moved there as kids. She used "oppressed minority" card while not being one. She should been called on it more.

4. She hated that she was forced to share stage with Shakira. But well producers probably thought she doesnt have that many hits and star power to have 12 minute show.

5. Poor thing thought she is worthy of Oscar nomination just because she was not terrible one time in her career. They kept showing glimpses of her previous movies which were Selena and all those stupid rom-coms and I kept remembering what a horrible actress she always was.

6. It was just sad to watch how she kept reading lines from reviews of her stripper movie and literally cried when some critics said how talented and amazing she was. Celebrities are so obsessed with non-stop praise from other people. They live in their mansions and fly private jet and still want everyone to praise them for being so amazing and special... Then they wonder why people started to hate those obsessed narcissists.

7. Oh, just remembered. There was such cringe moment when her people started saying that super powerful higher ups on NFL forbid her to put kids in cages. On last day. But she was so brave that she refused. And they showed some titles of articles that said: "NFL bosses are friends with Trump!". Then ominous music and showed Trump sitting on NFL match. Something like that.

It was so hilarious and ridiculously woke that I laughed out loud.
