Meghan McCain opens up about her 'deeply unpleasant' interaction with Jennifer Lopez on 'The View'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA; The Cactus Queen of Arizona, Meghan McCain, has officially taken a jab at 'Jenny From the Block' singer Jennifer Lopez.
On the latest episode of her podcast, 'Citizen McCain,' the former 'The View' co-host claimed that Jennifer Lopez was "deeply unpleasant" during her appearance on the ABC talk show.

McCain noted that Lopez's career appeared to have declined in 2024 and shared her unfavorable experiences with the renowned performer.

"I, too, share similar negative stories that the entire world does," McCain said. "I feel bad because we're turning a point where there's bullying happening to JLo. She just is a deeply unpleasant person. She had the biggest entourage I've ever seen (when she was on 'The View') More than Kim Kardashian and the president. I just don't really understand why it was needed."
McCain also revisited an incident where she posted a TikTok video criticizing Lopez's demeanor, only for the video to be temporarily taken down. She suggested, without proof, that Lopez might have been behind the video's removal. "She had our video taken down, Carlos," McCain alleged, although the video was later reinstated.

A representative for McCain told Entertainment Weekly (EW), "We do not know how or why we received a violation notice. We pressed 'appeal' and the video was reinstated in a few hours."
EW noted that TikTok's reporting process involves both automatic detection technology and a system for users to report videos anonymously, making it impossible for McCain to definitively know who reported the video.
On her podcast, McCain elaborated on her initial TikTok video, where she claimed Lopez had a staff member holding "a mirror with lights while they were touching her up backstage" the entire time.
"I was a host at The View, she was not nice. You don’t always have to be so nice, but it was surprising that people like Kim Kardashian couldn't be more delightful," McCain said. "When you're coming on a show for a 10-minute segment… just fake it till you make it for 10 f***ing minutes."
Jennifer Lopez faces criticism over alleged diva behavior at private airport
Jennifer Lopez came under fire following claims from a former private airport employee, who described the star as a "nightmare person" due to her rude and demanding behavior.
These allegations, reported by OK Magazine, sparked a significant reaction online, although many fans remain skeptical.
The allegations surfaced when a user named Moira Webb posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). Webb claimed to have worked at a private airport on Long Island, New York, during Lopez's marriage to Marc Anthony.
In her posts, Webb recounted several instances of Lopez allegedly mistreating airport staff.
"I worked at a private airport on Long Island when JLo was still w/ Marc Anthony. I can confirm she is a nightmare person. I have so many stories about her being a rude and nasty person. It’s gross to say but each time she 'fails' at anything, it delights me," Webb wrote.
Webb detailed Lopez's specific demands, including a standing order for catering that had to be ready even for short flights.
"That included a KFC bucket," Webb mentioned. "She was flying out in the AM before they opened and her team freaked out that we didn’t have it. I was demanded to go get some and was given some cash by her team."
Webb described how she had to beg a KFC to open early to fulfill Lopez's order, only to see Lopez's flight take off without waiting for the food.
"I drove like a bat out of hell and had to beg them to open early and make one for her," Webb continued. "As I’m speeding back, I look up and see her flight taking off, even tho [sic] they said she wouldn’t leave w/out it. They just sent me to do that as a punishment, I guess?"
Another incident involved Lopez using the public restroom at the airport but having her security guard block it off, preventing others from using it. "Her security even threatened the janitor who was vacuuming near the door," Webb alleged.
Additionally, Webb claimed that a line technician had to scramble to a local grocery store to buy fruit at Lopez's request.
Despite these claims, many fans were not convinced. They argue that Webb's stories lack corroborating evidence and could be exaggerated.
However, critics argue that these allegations fit a pattern of diva behavior often reported about high-profile celebrities.
