“She hardly drinks, she’s not a partier, she’s not a fun girl, she’s a workaholic who cheers women on and who was charmed by him for a short time in her life.”
She ended by saying that the I’m Real hitmaker “doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with it.” [Diddy’s] shocking and criminal outrages.”

In addition to Lopez, de Sousa previously worked with A-listers such as Julia Roberts and Keanu Reeves, and was also a crew member on Seinfeld.
Lopez has previously spoken about her “tempestuous” and “emotionally draining” two-year romance with the 55-year-old rapper, whom she split from over his infidelity.
JLo and Diddy were one of the most high-profile couples of the late 1990s and early 1990s, dating between 1999 and 2001.
Previously, Lopez spoke about their romance: “And before that, we broke up a lot, and got back together, and broke up again, and no one knew about it.
‘It was very stormy. By the end it was emotionally draining. It was good that I was young.’
The singer’s first husband, Ojani Noa, blamed Diddy for their split during an interview with Despierta America.
The 50-year-old actor reflected on the end of his relationship with the superstar when he claimed that “part of that divorce” was the hip-hop mogul’s “fault.”
“She hardly drinks, she’s not a partier, she’s not a nice girl, she’s a workaholic who uplifts women and who for a short time in her life was charmed by him,” she said of Lopez
Lopez and Diddy, both 55 years old, were one of the most talked-about couples of the late 1990s and early 1990s between 1999 and 2001.
“When Sony came and paid her the millions she got, there was Puffy [Combs]who would become one of the producers of several songs on the first album On The 6,” Noa told the outlet.
“I was in Los Angeles opening my restaurant and she was between Miami and New York working on the album.”
JLo and Diddy never got married, but she previously revealed that the disgraced star did call their relationship a marriage and often asked for a “divorce.”
She told Rolling Stone in 2001: “He often said to me, ‘I want a divorce.’ I’d be away a lot, or he’d… he couldn’t go far, whatever, but he’d say, “So, where should I send the paper?”
The couple generally kept their relationship private, and Jennifer explained that she wanted to keep details about them “sacred and private.”

Their time together has come under the microscope again after Diddy was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl on the same night Jennifer and Diddy argued together at a party before later leaving with his entourage.
The alleged incident is said to have taken place later that evening at a home, but the timing adds a disturbing layer to the evening’s events and raises questions about the dynamics of the relationship at a time now overshadowed by serious allegations.
The couple stayed together for another five months and eventually separated in February 2001.
Diddy has denied the allegations. His lawyers told DailyMail.com that he has “never sexually assaulted anyone” and said the latest “barrage of allegations” were nothing more than “obvious attempts to garner publicity.”
