Jennifer Lopez Brings Up Ben Affleck Amid Separation Rumors | E! News

Normally, Jimmy would ask 'how is Ben?'. He was warned not to. Her mention of Ben was in passing and past-tense. Nothing significant. There is definitely trouble in paradise and I can clearly see the sadness in her face.

JLO Encounter Story time: Denver CO, 2019, mid summer-ish. JLO and her entourage showed up to the restaurant I was working at, which was one of the premier upscale sushi dens in the Cherry Creek area. I’ve posted this on every JLO video I can find so people know the truth about her. I wasn’t working that night and I was so bummed because I was actually suppose to, but I heard the full story from everyone else. The restaurant apparently had VIPs from time to time, and they would usually call ahead to let us know so we could shut off a portion of the restaurant if they desired. JLO’s group showed up 15 mins to close, no prior notice, and asked that we shut down the entire restaurant for her. I don’t think we’d ever done that for anyone before, but since we were closing anyway and since this was a super VIP, my manager agreed. None of the staff were allowed to leave. I’m not sure if that was JLO’s wishes or just my manager wanting all hands on deck, but apparently the entire front part of the restaurant had to be empty and completely quiet for JLO, so the whole staff was crammed into the back kitchen just sitting around. JLO for some reason was bothered by the sound of trickling water from the beautiful Asian bamboo fountain we had, and made her handler ask that it be shut down. My manager was really torn about this, as that fountain had been running non stop since the day it was imported all the way from Japan, a few years earlier - it was considered good luck. IIRC he communicated this to her handler hoping it would change her mind. Handler didn’t even ask her, likely because he knew she wouldn’t take it well, and just insisted that she needed it off or they'd have to leave, which I wish he would have just let them, but my manager shut it down and was REALLY stressed out about that’. JLO was apparently pouting most of the time and just seemed she couldn’t be bothered with anything. Something had apparently happened to put her in a bad mood which serving staff overheard in bits and pieces but we didn’t get the backstory. She had ordered (through her handler of course) a bunch of rolls not on the menu, basically created her own stuff even though our rolls were literally award winning, and it was a huge pain for the kitchen. I’m not sure if it’s common restaurant etiquette, but I guess with VIPs, our managers would always comp the entire meal as a kind of pseudo “courtesy” with the mutual understanding that the guest would leave an enormous tip to cover the full bill and then some. That’s how it always worked out with prior VIPs, they had always left a significantly generous amount, but usually the VIPs came in as a couple or small group, not a dozen people like JLO had. The bill was somewhere around $1300 and the manager actually called the owner to ask if we should comp it. Owner said “just do it”, I guess he wanted the good publicity, hoping she’d rave about the restaurant in a magazine or interview in return. The manager let most of the staff go after an hour but kept some people on for another, as JLO’s party stayed there for almost 2 hours… so the restaurant had to also lose money to pay a bunch of people who were not working. I’m not sure if the party received an actual itemized and comped bill, or if the manager just communicated that it was all on the house, but either way - JLO should have had a general idea of how much to pay… She left TWO TWENTIES! That’s it. And mind you, there were 2 waiters serving that table. We were all trying to figure out if she just made a mistake like one person was suppose to pay the bill and the other person suppose to tip, or maybe there was a miscommunication. I’m not sure, but since JLO was in charge, it’s all on her. And after hearing all these stories, I really think it was deliberate. That was the first “bad luck” act to occur after the fountain was unplugged and subsequently the restaurant had a few incidents of bad luck for the next few months until my manager brought in some Asian medicine man to have the restaurant recalibrated, so to speak. He considered JLO to be inhabited by a "Yaoguai" which if I am correct, is the equivalent of a demon possession. I thought it was all just superstition but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this woman TRULY has a bad energy about her, and after doing some digging and reading after my restaurant experienced this, not only did I find hundreds of similar stories of her being awful to service people, she is a practitioner of Santeria (according to legal divorce documents that someone dug up) but even without that fact, the woman DOES have bad vibes. I have been waiting years for all this karma to catch up with her. I was like, how has all this awful, selfish behavior not caught up with her? And FINALLY, it has!!! 👏

[drod]

He has many times said she is the love of his life . One thing for sure no one can deny she loves him

[brandonmontoya]

She had to mention which engagement ring, she’s had so many

[satelconsa]

Why are people blaming Jen for an adult man's misery? Is he not accountable for his life? If he couldn't make himself happy, no woman could.

[ursula]

Her husband hates the spotlight. He married a super star. It comes with disadvantages.

[fbe]

😂😂😂 she is funny because I have never heard Ben saying he is in love with her 😂😂😂

[freedomparadisechick]

She seems so relaxed and nice😂 but never with the fans!

[LauraEllen]

Still hope they figure out a way to work it out.

[irinarekhviachvili]

JLo, girl, stop pretending that everything is fine in paradise 🤥😝🥲

[lillian]

I mean she has to keep up appearances and it’s really not anyone’s business but just bc she mentions him in a round about way doesn’t mean things are hunky dory- she’s a master of deluding

[alimarie]

JLo will just move on to soulmate/victim #5🤣🤣🤣

[gbecks]

Do you really think she would tell the truth? 😂 absolutely not

[lenac]

He broke her heart before when he walked out on her. He is doing it again. The greatest breakup never told.

It has always been JLo dumping her men first on her terms but not with Ben

[deeboii]

I love Jen!! She deserves to finally be happy and have lots of love!!! Wishing her the best ❤️❤️❤️

[elizabethmckenna]

She won’t reclaim her fame. People are on to her rudeness, fakeness and her controlling ways. She’s over. I hope they reopen Diddys case where she lied and never told what happened because she didn’t want to taint her precious career

[RMRetief]

he looks so wasted and angry all the time

[wendi]

Love jlo. She is blessed and successful. Haters don' t believe in karma but watch out because karma affects generations. So when you put your child or love one to bed tonight beware that do receive that negativity you put out. Jlo stay blessed.

[mimsicle]

He can’t hold it together long enough to have a relationship.

people are paying basically for an expensive Circus Act & Lip Syncing. Not anything real. I have seen this woman Live at Vegas & she Lip Syncs & sings over a Backing track.
