Jennifer Lopez and Simu Liu are making headlines, but not for the reason a reporter might have hoped. The incident took place during a recent press junket in Mexico City for their Netflix action film ‘Atlas.’
The pair shut down a question about Lopez’s rumored marital troubles with Ben Affleck. Their response showcased a strong sense of support and highlighted the sometimes intrusive nature of celebrity journalism.
“You Know Better Than That”: Jennifer Lopez Refuses To Answer Questions About Ben Affleck
The incident unfolded when a reporter, seemingly unaware of the sensitivity of the topic, asked Lopez directly if the rumors surrounding her marriage to Affleck were true. Without missing a beat, Simu Liu, Lopez’s co-star, stepped in with a firm, “Ok, we’re not doing that,” he said.
“Thank you so much. We really appreciate it…come on, don’t come in here with that energy,” he added. Lopez followed suit, leaning forward and delivering a pointed, “You know better than that.” The exchange resonated with many fans. Additionally, while celebrities live much of their lives in the public eye, there’s a line between genuine interest and intrusive questioning.
Lopez and Affleck have a long and complex relationship history, and rumors about their marriage have been swirling for some time. By shutting down the question, Lopez asserted her right to privacy, particularly during a promotional event for her latest project.
