Jennifer Lopez has taken some time out of her grueling rehearsal schedule for her upcoming world tour while dealing with a crumbling marriage to address the shocking video of Diddy or Sean Combs beating and kicking Cassie Ventura.
Lopez, who dated the rapper from 1999 to 2001, claimed she would not talk about the incident because it is Cassie’s story to tell. Nonetheless, without being asked to share a comment on the topic, Lopez was quick to make her feelings known.
According to a source close to the singer and dancer, she has seen the disturbing CNN video and is disgusted and disappointed.
Despite being “disturbed” and “heartbroken” over the footage, Lopez refuses to put out a statement condemning Diddy’s action or showing support for Cassie.
The source shared: “Among everything else that Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware of and has seen what Diddy did, but she is tremendously disappointed. Jen will not address the accusations or take time to talk about them because it is not her story to tell.”
Lopez, who might be an expert on all things Diddy, hinted that she would open up about the topic if she were asked about it during an interview.
The insider claimed: “If she is asked about it in a future interview, she will cross that path as and when it happens, but she won’t address it publicly and will not put herself in that conversation on purpose.”
Lopez also reminded the world that her romance with Diddy was complicated and destructive.
Another source stated: “Among everything else that Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware of and has seen what Diddy did, but she is disappointed. Not that people forget, but her relationship with him several years ago had its tumultuous ups and downs. What he has done and been accused of is heartbreaking.”
The insider confirmed that Lopez views the music and media mogul as a damaged human. The person in the know shared: “It is disgusting for her to see that someone who at one point in her life was someone she put so much trust in has ended up turning into a very damaged human being. It is disturbing to see.”
Some observers are trying to understand why people close to Lopez are inserting her in this drama. This might be an effective way to change the headlines.
