NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jennifer Lopez has been facing a lot of mockery and backlash online after she apparently staged a pap walk. 

Videos of the A-lister have gone viral on the internet, showing her clearing a crowd at the lobby of a Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on Wednesday, May 13, before walking to her car so that paparazzi can get clear photos and videos of her exit.

The online clips show Lopez waiting near the exit of the luxurious hotel as a number of people leave the building. Once the area got empty, she made a runway-worthy walk towards her vehicle that was parked outside.

The ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ actress, who looked stylish in a brown skirt that she paired with the same colored jacket, also waved to her fans before getting inside her car. As per reports, she was going to the screening of Netflix's ‘Office Romance’ at AMC Newport Centre in Jersey City.

Netizens call out Jennifer Lopez for behaving strangely

Many did not like her diva behavior, with one person writing on X, “JLo in her 60’s will be such a crazy and entertaining ride. She will make an even bigger embarrassment of herself than Madonna.”



Another person commented, “I think being a celebrity comes with some form of mental illness that only them have, because in what world is this even a normal thing to do…And it’s not even like she’s all that…”



“Celebrities just LOVE paparazzi flashes. This keeps them in the limelight,” an X user stated.



A critic shared, “Hollyweird They all look different & behave strangely.”



“What do they think they are? Stop idolising them and see them begging for fame,” a critic said on X.



“Celebrities are the laughing stock of America -- and they are so conceited and arrogant they don't even realize it! I bet she dreams about herself at night,” an X user mocking Lopez said.



A person claimed, “I wouldn't even care to watch her if I was right there...I don't care about celebrities, and haven't for a long time. I don't understand the fascination.”

Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are speculated to be together

This came amid rumors of Lopez’s romance with her ‘Office Romance’ co-star Brett Goldstein, which has been doing the rounds.

“It was an open secret during filming about Brett and J-Lo – they got on like a house on fire from the start, and the chemistry was electric, which viewers will see. They were very touchy, feely, and always laughing, and everyone suspected they were hooking up,” a tipster had revealed.

Another insider claimed that “during the wrap party, they were all over each other during the dinner and drinks with the rest of the cast. They had a lot of fun while shooting; it was just what Jen needed after Ben Affleck. He put a smile on her face.”
