Jennifer Lopez Roasted For Her Canceled Tour And ‘Toxic Relationship’

Jennifer Lopez was recently ridiculed for her ongoing divorce from actor Ben Affleck and the cancellation of her tour in 2024.

During an appearance on CNN’s New Year’s Eve special, comedian Whitney Cummings took shots at the singer, joking that America would rather see her in a “toxic” relationship than at a concert.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August last year after months of their relationship being plagued by rumors of marital troubles.

Cummings roasted the singer while speaking to “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen.

The comedian didn’t hold back as she laid into Lopez by highlighting her marriage with Affleck, which has ended, and her tour.

“Let me be clear: 2024 was not only negative. The media wants us to believe this country is so divided, but we actually came together a lot together this year,” Cummings quipped, per the New York Post.

She added, “As a nation, we unanimously agreed that we would rather see J.Lo in a toxic relationship than in concert.”

Last March, rumors were rife that Lopez and Affleck’s marriage had hit the rocks as they hadn’t been seen in public together for weeks.

For a long time, it seemed the pair were too busy with their careers; however, Lopez eventually confirmed the rumors when she filed for divorce from Affleck in August.

As reported by The Blast, the singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split in the divorce documents and noted that their date of separation was April 26, 2024.

One major shocker from Lopez’s divorce filing was the confirmation that she and her estranged husband had a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot.

This has reportedly caused difficulty between the ex-couple, as Affleck and Lopez mediate their divorce and attempt to split their assets fairly.

Sources told InTouch Weekly that things are getting tense months after Lopez filed to dissolve her marriage, as no agreement has been reached.

“It’s been six months since she filed and nothing has been resolved, it doesn’t seem like they’re anywhere close to finalizing the divorce,” an insider told InTouch Weekly.

The source added, “They both said they wanted to do it amicably and have even talked a good game about wanting to consciously uncouple, but that plan seems to be out the window because they can’t agree on how to divide things up, which of course is affecting things.”

One of the major assets between Lopez and Affleck is their marital Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased for $60.5 million in May 2023 after their marriage.

In July 2024, the duo placed the house on the market for an asking price of $68 million. Unfortunately, months after listing the property, they have yet to find a buyer.

Last October, real estate broker and the star of “Selling Sunset,” Jason Oppenheim, noted that Affleck and Lopez’s marital home is taking a while to sell their mansion due to its size.

He noted that such massive properties tend to take at least six months to find a potential buyer.

While speaking to Realtor.com, Oppenheim shared, “It would have been surprising for the house to sell in less than 100 days,” adding that “most homes of this magnitude are on the market for six months, and in many cases significantly longer.”

The real estate outlet shared several factors causing a delay in the sale of the mansion, noting that expenses associated with the sale would result in a smaller pool of potential buyers.

They also revealed that people who can make such costly purchases tend to delay in hopes of a price reduction.

Another significant factor is the estimated $283,666 the homeowner would likely spend each month on taxes, security, and homeowners association dues.

Lopez and Affleck’s mansion is also competing with other luxurious properties in Los Angeles, making it more difficult to sell.

After what many may consider a challenging year for Lopez, the singer took to her Instagram page to share moments from her life to close out 2024.

Lopez’s video recap featured highlights from cover shoots, performances, premiere appearances, and award shows. However, she notably left out Affleck.

Even in the segments showcasing her documentary, “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” Affleck was surprisingly absent, despite the project being inspired by her romance with the actor.

This move by Lopez clearly shows her readiness to leave behind the stress of her ongoing divorce and start the new year fresh.
