Jennifer Lopez abruptly ended an autograph session recently after a fan questioned her about her former relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs and recent allegations surrounding the rapper. Currently navigating a divorce from her husband Ben Affleck, Lopez was meeting fans and signing autographs when the incident occurred.
A fan in the crowd reportedly stepped forward and asked, “J. Lo, do you have any comments about Diddy and the allegations?” Upon hearing the question, Lopez immediately stopped signing memorabilia and swiftly left the area, despite fans calling after her, saying, “Don’t leave.” Although her followers hoped she might stay and continue the session, Lopez chose not to respond and exited the event without addressing the topic, reports The Mirror US.
For those unfamiliar, Lopez’s relationship with Diddy was one of Hollywood’s most high-profile romances in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. The pair began dating in 1999 and became a powerful fixture in the entertainment world. However, the relationship was tumultuous, and the couple officially ended things in 2001, with reports attributing the split to Diddy’s complicated and unpredictable behavior.
In a past interview, Lopez reflected on the challenging nature of their relationship, stating, “And we broke up many times before that, and got back together and broke up again, and nobody knew about it. It was very tempestuous. Towards the end, it was emotionally exhausting. It was good that I was young.”
More recently, Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, has claimed that Diddy played a role in their breakup. In an interview with Despierta America, Noa hinted that Combs had been a significant factor in the breakdown of his and Lopez’s marriage, further stirring interest in the complicated history between the two.
Lopez’s decision to leave the autograph session rather than address the fan’s question reflects her desire to avoid revisiting that chapter of her life. With ongoing challenges in her personal life, including her divorce from Affleck, the singer and actress appears focused on moving forward rather than engaging with past controversies.
