Jennifer Lopez gets roasted for being rude to reporter at 2024 Met Gala in now-viral video: ‘She seems like a bundle of joy’
Jennifer Lopez is accused of being rude and dismissive to a reporter at Monday’s Met Gala, where she co-chaired the annual fashion event.
On Wednesday, USA Today reporter Anika Reed shared one TikTok video in which the 54-year-old gives her a very short answer to her question: “Who are you wearing tonight?”
“Schiaparelli,” she replied as she walked up the famous steps of the Met Gala, where she was shouted at by more than two dozen journalists on either side of the carpet.
Social media users were quick to call out the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker for speaking to the reporter as if she were a ‘peasant’.

“The up and down look is crazy,” one TikTok user wrote under the video.
Another sarcastically commented: ‘Social media users were quick to call out the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker for speaking to the reporter as if she were a ‘peasant.’
‘Her kindness shines through the screen. I’m dead,” a third joked.
“Eww, why does she have that attitude,” asked a fourth.
Others joked that Lopez seemed like a “ray of sunshine” and a “bundle of joy.”
“That’s our humble Jenny from the Block,” said another, nodding to the mother-of-two’s 2002 hit, in which she sings about how despite her fame and fortune, she will never forget her roots.
Reed, the reporter, joked about the fleeting interaction in her caption when she wrote that Lopez “briefly told her” about her custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress, designed by Daniel Roseberry.
For fashion’s biggest night, actor Ben Affleck’s wife rocked a strapless dress that took “more than 2.5 million silver foil bugle beads and 800 hours of hand embroidery to create,” according to Glamour.

She completed a silver statement necklace with a matching diamond bracelet and massive ring – all from Tiffany & Co.
For the occasion, Lopez threw her brunette locks into a chic topknot to show off her statement diamond earrings.
Additionally, the star, who rocked a pair of strappy platform stilettos, carried a gold Tyler Ellis clutch.
For makeup, the Marry Me star opted for a flattering, monochrome brown makeup look with dramatic, full lashes.

She finished it off with a glossy pink blush and a glossy nude lip.
Lopez co-chaired the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Benefit, along with Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth, as well as Vogue’s Anna Wintour.
Her husband did not attend the Met Gala because he was filming The Accountant 2, a sequel to his 2016 action thriller, in Los Angeles.
After the Met Gala, she embarked on a trip to Paris with her boyfriend Loren Ridinger.
