Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have had a long, long history; something that literally goes way beyond the peripherals of anyone and everyone’s understanding. While the pair have broken up multiple times for reasons more than one, at the same time, they seem to find their way back to each other as well. This is presumably why Lopez decided to make a film on it in the first place.
However, even before the release of the musical movie, which is notably titled This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, Jennifer Lopez is facing the wrath of netizens. One of the most significant reasons behind this backlash is the fact that the bossy babe showed multiple musicians “a stash of” love letters that Affleck had written to her — a piece of news that netizens are finding utterly disgusting.
Jennifer Lopez Reportedly Made Ben Affleck’s Love Letters To Her Public
Recently, Variety got to talk to Jennifer Lopez about her upcoming musical movie that would reportedly feature her love story with her husband Ben Affleck. It was during this that the actress cum singer let out almost everything she did in order to bring the story to life.
Among these was one of the deeds the bossy babe committed that is seemingly being hated by the internet: Her showing the love letters that Affleck wrote to her and titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told to multiple musicians “for inspiration.”
This was notably followed by the Good Will Hunting star’s “taken aback” reaction to seeing the personal letters he wrote just for Lopez being bandied around among people who have no connection to them whatsoever.
As Ben Affleck says to the camera in the cut of the musical film, a part of which has been transcribed and shared by Variety:
“I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it’s the greatest love story never told. If you’re making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it.”
While Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she was unsure about doing this whole thing and even “thought I was crazy,” netizens have only further added to her and multiple others’ presumptions that this public portrayal of their love story just might not be that well-received by the audiences.
Previously, it was noticed that multiple tensions have existed between Bennifer 2.0, notably because of Lopez’s constant nagging at Affleck over multiple things, including his smoking, his wardrobe, and even his chewing nicotine to avoid the smoking habit, as per RadarOnline.com.
Now, these further reports about Jennifer Lopez absolutely having her way with almost everything have further exhausted netizens’ patience with the pair, with most of them complaining about just how disgusting Lopez’s habits are continuing to become.
Netizens Are Disgusted At This “Toxic” Act Of Jennifer Lopez
If previously netizens were willing to put up with everything thinking that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck would seemingly find their way around all their conflicts this time as well, this time, all hell has broken loose among them as they let out just how revolted they are at Lopez’s recent actions.
In fact, netizens are now openly expressing that Affleck should just listen to his forever best friend Matt Damon, and stop indulging himself further in this “toxic” relationship before it’s too late. Taking to X, here’s how they’re reacting to this entire situation:

Sharing personal love letters with a bunch of people without the writer’s permission seems like a very weird thing to do.

Judging from how the events are unfolding as well as all these fan reactions, Jennifer Lopez’s public display (more like a show-off) love story with Ben Affleck just might not be that well-received by the audiences at its release.
But the final result of it all is yet to be seen, with the Amazon original musical film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story and the record reportedly dropping on the 16th of February, 2024, and the documentary following these to be released on the 27th of February, 2024.
