<p id=”par-1_107″>Jennifer Lopez has been careful to avoid any conversation about her ex-boyfriend, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sean-diddy-combs/?swcfpc=1″>Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs</a>, and his current legal troubles. While many celebrities have been dragged into discussions about Diddy and his infamous parties, where <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/celebrities-allegedly-bidding-diddys-tapes-prevent-names-exposed.html/”>sex trafficking and sexual assaults</a> reportedly took place, Lopez has remained mostly out of it. It’s not the first time she’s managed to mostly sidestep a Diddy scandal, though. She came out mostly unscathed in 2001 after a nightclub shooting. While it’s worked out fine for Lopez, the disgraced mogul’s entourage apparently wasn’t amused by Lopez’s ability to walk away cleanly. A resurfaced interview reveals how Diddy’s friends felt about Jennifer Lopez.</p>

<p id=”par-2_67″>Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jennifer Lopez’s breakup made headlines. It wasn’t the first time the mismatched couple had drawn public attention. Still, the couple insisted things were amicable. Even a year after the split, Diddy kept up appearances. During a 2002 interview with <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/09/09/sean-combs-puff-daddy-p-diddy-i-am-fashion” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The New Yorker</a>, he insisted he wished Lopez all the best and wanted her to be happy. His associates did not feel the same.</p>

<p id=”par-3_68″>During the chat, a friend of the rapper chimed in on Jennifer Lopez. When asked about the couple’s split, the friend, who was not named in the article, said Lopez was “nothing but a disloyal b****.” The conversation moved on quickly, and Lopez was not mentioned again. The interview has resurfaced in light of Diddy’s current legal woes and Lopez’s deft ability to dodge questions about the situation.</p>

<p id=”par-4_48″>Jennifer Lopez and Diddy dated for about two years before they called it quits in 2001. While the couple’s arrest for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-called-1-night-sean-diddy-combs-complete-nightmare.html/”>a nightclub shooting</a> in 2000 certainly played a role in her decision to end the relationship, it was not the only factor that led to the split.</p>

<p id=”par-5_88″>In 2003, Lopez gave an interview in which she discussed the split. She told <a href=”https://www.vibe.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vibe Magazine</a> that Diddy’s rumored infidelity and lack of transparency fueled her decision to part ways. She said she found herself wondering if she wanted to be home with kids, worried about her partner’s whereabouts at 3 am. The frightening thought helped her make her final decision. She went on to say that her relationship with Diddy was the first time she questioned her partner’s faithfulness. It made her “crazy,” admitted the iconic singer.</p>
<p id=”par-6_39″>Lopez and Diddy both moved on from the relationship. The former flames kept their distance, married, and had children with other people. Ahead of his arrest, Lopez found herself in a media firestorm after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-split-whole-world-exploded.html/”>her split from Ben Affleck.</a></p>
