Jennifer Lopez turns ‘very friendly’ and tips restaurant staff amid Ben Affleck divorce rumors
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck navigate through their latest divorce rumors, the songstress is supposedly turning a new leaf by being a very generous customer to restaurant staff.
Following their lavish wedding in the Hamptons and throughout Europe, Lopez and Affleck have been leading separate lives. Lopez resides in Los Angeles and concentrates on his career, while Affleck travels frequently.
Jennifer Lopez allegedly tipped $50 at East Hampton ice cream shop
The 'Jenny From The Block' singer reportedly spent the Fourth of July weekend at the neighborhood's favorite ice cream parlor, A La Mode in East Hampton, where she left a sizable tip for ice cream.
"She got a mini cone with sprinkles and was very friendly to everyone," an insider told Page Six, adding that the pop star left a $50 tip.
Lopez was seen out and about in the East with her 16-year-old daughter Emme, whom she shares with her former husband Marc Anthony, and a few pals while she and Affleck work out their marital problems.
Lopez's latest kind demeanor appeared to be a change of heart as there have been many stories throughout the years regarding the singer's impolite behavior at restaurants, per SheKnows.
Jennifer Lopez previously called out by restaurant staff for unkind behavior
Jennifer Lopez was raised in the Bronx by her homemaker mother and computer specialist father. However, it doesn't seem like her modest upbringing inspired her to be humble.
Several waitresses and employees have complained about Lopez's harshness to work for years. There are multiple reports of her impolite demeanor, and she has a lot of regulations.
One woman accused the 'Jenny From The Block' singer of being impolite to her drivers on TikTok in 2022, amidst a wave of fans posting unfavorable experiences with Lopez.
Although a number of TikTok users have accused Lopez of failing to tip her wait workers, two instances in particular stand out.
A waitress who claimed to have served the celebrity accused in a since-deleted TikTok that Lopez and her now-husband Ben Affleck are known for not leaving tips for waiters.
The woman asserted that Lopez had a reputation for being "stingy," saying, "[Lopez] tells [Affleck] not to tip. He doesn't tip anymore, baby! You don't need to tell him nothing, he ain't doing it," per YourTango.
It was confirmed by another woman on TikTok that Lopez did not support tipping. The woman on TikTok claimed that she didn't serve anyone else that one night as she waited on Affleck at a poker table.
She received a hefty $10,000 tip from Affleck. However, Lopez allegedly grabbed the money back as soon as she learned about the tip.
Affleck apparently brought her a bouquet and a $25,000 gratuity the following day because he was so embarrassed.
Many have even admitted to Buzzfeed that it's not the best to serve the 'Atlas' actress.
One of the confessions read: "I had a friend who waited on Jennifer Lopez right after she got super famous. She and her entourage ran my friend ragged, insulted him, held up the table for more than three hours, and completely stiffed him on the tip."
