‘Everything Had To Be White’: Australian Singer Dannii Minogue Reveals How Entitled & Insufferable Jennifer Lopez Can be
Jennifer Lopez has always been a diva and last month she was in the special limelight for winning the MTV Generation Award at the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards. Her Netflix documentary ‘Halftime’ has also been the talk of the town. Recently though, the singer-actor has garnered some taunts and jokes along the way for being exactly what she always has been: a diva!
A diva story Minogue can “vouch for”
Australian singer Dannii Minogue recently shared a peculiarly amusing anecdote about JLo on her podcast The 90s with Dannii Minogue. The Australian singer claimed that the 52-year-old demanded the redecoration of her backstage dressing room while specifying that “everything had to be white” otherwise she wouldn’t perform on stage.
“While you hear those diva stories, there is one I can actually vouch for,” Minogue teased.
“I was at Top of the Pops and was told Jennifer Lopez was on her way, but she refused to perform unless her backstage room was redecorated.
I was told everything had to be white, including the sofa. I asked to go in and see the room as she wasn’t there in that moment… I was lapping up every detail.
All I could think was, girlfriend is covered head to toe in body makeup, how do you sit on a white couch?” she jokingly added.
Jennifer Lopez claims to have had her fair share of struggles
JLo’s story, the documentary Halftime can be streamed on Netflix. Apparently, she hasn’t always been well-received for the looks and the body she is adored for now. In the documentary, she shared how there was a time when she felt like quitting for being unable to meet the Industry’s beauty standards, “There were many times where I was just like, I think I’m just going to quit. I had to really figure out who I was. And believe in that and not believe in anything else.”
She was mocked for her curvaceous body as the accepted standard back when she began her career was skinny women,
“When I started working, the beauty ideal was very thin, blonde, tall, not a lot of curves. I grew up around women with curves so it was nothing I was ever ashamed of. It was hard, when you think people think you’re a joke — like a punchline. But it wound up affecting things in a way that I never intended.”
