Industry insiders have alleged that Jennifer Lopez, 54, (pictured) ‘demands that crew members and limo drivers NOT make eye contact with her.’
“She is still laughed at to this day because there have been much bigger celebrities who have been much nicer and friendlier,” they added.
Another claimed that even limousine drivers had been held to the same rule.
“According to my internal friend, the drivers of her limousine received the same instructions, they could not even look at her in the rearview mirrors,” they alleged.

Someone else who claimed to have worked with Jennifer also said that crew members were “warned” before the singer arrived that “under no circumstances” were they to make eye contact with Jennifer, even if they were talking to her.
It comes after US media personality Meghan McCain branded Jennifer a “deeply unpleasant person”. when he interviewed the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker on The view in 2019.
Meghan, 39, who hosted the daytime talk show from 2017 to 2021, criticized singer Jenny From the Block during a recent episode of her podcast, Citizen McCain.

He said Jennifer “needs to humble herself” and claimed to have had a “not so pleasant” experience with the hitmaker when she appeared on the series in the past.
Meghan made the shocking claims while chatting with her guest Carlos King, creator of the Love and Marriage franchise, amid the recent news that Jennifer had canceled her upcoming tour.
“I actually feel bad right now because I feel like JLo is being bullied and I don’t want to add to that,” Meghan said.

But she is a deeply unpleasant person. She had the largest entourage she has ever seen from any celebrity.
‘More than Kim Kardashian, more than the President. And I really don’t understand why it was necessary.”
When Carlos said he was surprised by her claims because he had had good experiences with Jennifer, Meghan insisted: ‘JLo doesn’t have a reputation for being a nice, normal person. I’m not exposing (anything)’.
Meghan also called Jennifer’s recent documentary “not good” and said her acting lately “hasn’t been great,” but the TV personality insisted she was “not trying to be shady.”
“He needs to humble himself a little bit because he’s getting (hate) on the internet, especially on TikTok,” he continued.
“There are a lot of people, real people, lower level people who work on shows, service workers, waitresses who have really negative stories about her.
‘And I repeat, I only know my experience. I hosted on The View and she was not nice. Be that as it may, you don’t always have to be nice, it was surprising given that people like Kim Kardashian couldn’t be more charming.
“When you come on a show for a 10-minute segment, fake it until it’s 10 minutes long.”
In April, Meghan released an episode called Why Is JLo Failing So Bad?, during which she discussed the star’s career with her co-host Miranda.
He then posted part of their conversation on TikTok, where the video went viral and garnered more than two million views.
But in the latest episode, Meghan claimed that Jennifer “had her TikTok taken down” due to “bullying,” but added that it is now back up.
He said Jennifer “needs to humble herself” and claimed to have had a “not so pleasant” experience with the hitmaker when she appeared on the series in the past.
“All I said was that she had a big entourage and she wasn’t my favorite guest I’ve ever interviewed,” Meghan reflected on TikTok. “That’s like the direct quote and she was eliminated for intimidation.”
On TikTok, Meghan called Jennifer “a PR disaster” and said she was “in her era of failure.”
“She appeared on The View many times as a guest, but she’s not my favorite,” he added. ‘Let me tell you something, some of the biggest celebrities I’ve ever met in my life, I mean giant celebrities, have a publicist with them.
‘Jennifer López has more people traveling with her than the President. Or as many (like him). I’m not kidding.
“I’m going to get in trouble for this, but my biggest memory of JLo is that there was a person whose job was solely to hold a mirror with lights while they touched her backstage.
“I remember saying, ‘That poor man. What a strange job. “He probably went to art school and dreamed of being a musician and now he’s holding JLo’s (mirror).”
