Jennifer Lopez is being slammed for her rude and dismissive behavior toward a reporter at Monday’s Met Gala, where she served as one of the annual fashion event’s co-chair.
What Happened?
On Wednesday, USA Today reporter Anika Reed shared a TikTok video of the 54-year-old giving her a very curt response to her question, ‘Who are you wearing tonight?’
‘Schiaparelli,’ she answered as she walked up the famous Met Gala steps, where she was being shouted at by more than 20 journalists on both sides of the carpet.
Reed, the reporter, even poked fun at the fleeting interaction in her caption as she wrote that Lopez ‘briefly told’ her about her custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, designed by Daniel Roseberry.

Now, netizens (social media users) think she treated the reporter like she was ‘a peasant.’
‘The up & down stare is crazyyyy,’ one TikTok user wrote under the video.
Another sarcastically remarked: ‘Social media users were quick to call out the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker for speaking to the reporter like she was ‘peasant.’
‘Her kindness radiates through the screen. I’m deaddd,’ a third joked.
‘Eww why she have the attitude,’ a fourth asked.
Other joked Lopez seemed like a ‘ray of sunshine’ and ‘bundle of joy.’
One User Sends a Reminder of Her Roots
‘That’s our humble Jenny from the Block,’ another cracked, nodding the mother-of-two’s 2002 hit track, in which she sings about how she will never forget her roots despite her fame and wealth.
Lopez’s restrictive gown for the night ‘took more than 2.5 million silver-foil bugle beads and 800 hours of hand embroidery to make,’ per Glamour.
