Celebrities are just like us! They put their thousand dollar shoes on one at a time and treat people beneath them terribly. Oh, wait. That’s not us–it’s Jennifer Lopez. The pop star was recently caught spitting her gum into her assistant’s hand and the internet is not having it!
People are sounding off online debating the move. Many are saying it’s incredibly rude, others are saying that’s life as one of the most famous people in the world. What do you think? Is it rude or fine?
Rude or Not? Jennifer Lopez Spits Gum Into Assistant’s Hand
Jennifer Lopez may claim to still be “Jenny from the block,” but I can’t imagine she acted like this back in the day before her fame. At least, I hope she didn’t! She was caught on camera spitting her gum into her assistant’s hand which is now causing an uproar online. Some people are saying it’s disrespectful to the assistant, while others are defending the behavior saying that’s kind of in the assistant’s job description–you assist in any way the celebrity deems necessary. Unfortunately, that could mean having them spit their disgusting gum into your bare hand.
The video clip has since gone viral on social media. In the video shared to X (formerly Twitter), the caption reads, “Here’s JLo spitting chewing gum into her assistant’s hand in the middle of New York City. Such rude and nasty behaviour. There is no reason to treat your employees like this.” Judging by the spelling, the person typing is not from the USA. That goes to show the entire world is talking about this incident and not fond of the behavior (how we’d spell the word here in the States. The proper way!).
After watching the video, I’m scared I’m almost tempted to take J. Lo’s side here. I didn’t see that coming. Clearly, she’s on a movie set so there’s limited places to place the gum. She can’t just spit it out onto the set. It appears that she spits the gum into a small tissue into the assistant’s hand. So, at least it isn’t onto a bare hand.
This has me torn. Part of me thinks it’s rude (I really want to think it’s rude) but then the other part of me kind of understands and can’t place all of the blame on J. Lo (even though I may want to). What do you think? Check the video out below.
X has since added reader added context saying it’s a “common practice between actors and on set assistants.” What do you think?
5 Celebrities Who Have Obviously Had Plastic Surgery
Hollywood is full of…very unique people. They live a life I don’t understand, nor do I have any interest in gaining a better understanding. However, on Dave & Chuck “The Freak,” we will still talk about Celebrity News. Typically, that news is different from what you’ll hear on the E! network. We prefer to poke fun at celebrities for all the things they do. For example, here are 5 celebrities who have obviously had plastic surgery.
We all want to look better. Well, except Chuck. He’s already as good looking as you can get. Unfortunately, these celebrities lack Chuck’s confidence. They definitely got plastic surgery to try to fix something, and it’s definitely clear to the naked eye.
5 Celebrities Who Have Obviously Had Plastic Surgery
Sometimes, a procedure may be necessary to improve health or to have a better standard of living. However, these examples don’t fall under that umbrella. I struggle to think of a time where a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) could save your life.
In Hollywood, there’s a pressure to stay beautiful and to look young. You know where else that’s a thing? Literally everywhere. Who doesn’t want to look better and appear young? Nobody wants to look older! Well, except for teens trying to get into a bar, or something. However, what we don’t all do is make drastic (and permanent) changes to ourselves in an effort to continue looking good. Instead, we the people turn to dieting and exercise. You know, things that are actually good for you!
Now, sometimes these procedures can be totally normal and fine. We’re not teasing anyone who has had plastic surgery or any sort of cosmetic procedure. A little Botox can go a long way! No, we’re focusing on the celebs who went way beyond what’s necessary. Like, these celebs could be featured on an episode of “Botched.”
What’s weird is when celebrities try to pretend or claim they didn’t have any plastic surgery, when it’s clearly obvious. Not only is it clear just by looking at them, but do they know the internet exists? We can see photos of you from last week, last year, 10 years ago, and more. You can’t hide from your past! Not with the internet the way it is.
Here are 5 celebs who have definitely gone under the knife (even if they claim they didn’t).
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
