<p id=”par-1_46″>For years, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-lopez/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Lopez</a> has dealt with rumors that label her as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/these-a-list-celebrities-absolutely-despise-jennifer-lopez.html/”>high-maintenance and rude</a>. Lopez has said these descriptors are extremely unfair to her, but she has admitted that she has at least one rude habit. She shared a conversational tendency she could work on</p>

<p id=”par-2_23″>Lopez has said that while media outlets have <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-does-not-agree-with-her-diva-title.html/”>labeled her a “diva,”</a> she’s a normal, down-to-earth person when she isn’t in the spotlight.</p>
<p id=”par-3_38″>“I love to clean up. I can’t have a room unclean,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a1641/jennifer-gets-it-right/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Cosmopolitan</a> in 2005. “And I cook — I made pork chops last night. My favorite food is fried chicken cutlets, and I make those too.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_23″>Still, she admitted that she has one rude quality. When others are speaking, she said she struggles to give them her full attention.</p>
<p id=”par-5_36″>“I’m bad at a ton of things,” she said, adding, “I’m bad at sitting still. I’m bad at basketball. My worst habit is that while people are talking, I will already be thinking three other things.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_14″>Lopez said it is noticeable enough that sometimes people call her out on it.</p>
<p id=”par-7_22″>“It’s rude,” she said. “Sometimes if the person is very in tune and they notice, they’re like ‘Where are you right now?’”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-said-the-diva-label-she-has-received-is-unfair”>She said the ‘diva’ label she has received is unfair</h2>
<p id=”par-8_30″>Though Lopez said she can be rude, she didn’t think she was any worse than the average person. Because of this, she thought the “diva” label was unfair to her.</p>
<p id=”par-9_57″>“I always felt that was unfair,” she said. “It might be because I have nice stuff. I came from virtually nothing, so there was a time when I was like ‘Oh my God, I can have that car or I can have that coat.’ I don’t think anybody in my position wouldn’t have done the same thing.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_11″>She said she was actively in search of a simpler life.</p>
<p id=”par-11_57″>“But you get to a point where you want to strip down,” she said. “Not that I won’t have a nice bag, but I’m going to sell that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/photos-jennifer-lopez-ben-afflecks-60-million-home-appear-zillow-selling.html/”>big museum-type house</a> and get a nice cozy house, and I’m going to have one car and trade the others in. I want to go back to something simpler.”</p>

<p id=”par-12_38″>Years after this interview, people are still examining Lopez’s personality. At the 2024 Met Gala, Lopez sparked controversy following an interaction with a reporter. When a reporter asked who designed her dress, Lopez responded “Schiaparelli,” before walking away. </p>
<p id=”par-13_16″>While some viewers believed this was rude, others defended Lopez. Many believed the backlash was overblown.</p>

<p id=”par-14_28″>“Lol, I know she’s notorious for being rude to non rich/famous people, but this is a reach,” one <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1co9dsc/jennifer_lopez_is_slammed_for_being_rude_to/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> user wrote. “I’m not really seeing anything offensive here.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_12″>Others believed Lopez had done the best she could given the circumstances.</p>
<p id=”par-16_76″>“So she was a bit blunt with her answer,” another person wrote. “Between the shouting of who knows how many photogs and reporters and the onslaught of camera flashes — not to mention trying to navigate the staircase to the gala, which we’ve seen gives more than a few people pause depending on their wardrobe, they’re lucky they got a response at all. You mean, Jennifer Lopez can’t unicycle and juggle while blindfolded? Huh. Can you?”</p>
