A music industry source told DailyMail.com: ‘Jenny has had enough and she has really tried but she can’t take it anymore. It’s not getting better, it’s worse.’
The insider adds that the main reason JLo left her husband was because he was always “grumpy and negative,” like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.
Jennifer says she is also ‘shocked’ by the bad press she receives, and she doesn’t think that’s fair.
The source said: “If people could see what she’s really been through, they’d be easier on her. Ben’s a great guy, but he can be grumpy and a downer.
‘I think the world saw that in photos from last year’s Grammys, for example: he couldn’t smile.
“If they saw what it was really like, they wouldn’t attack her,” Jennifer’s friend said.
“He smokes and swears and seems irritated a lot. Great director and actor, but he’s not much of a joke, you know?” the source said. “But he’s a great dad.”
They added: ‘She’s really not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she’ll get over it. She’ll march on.
