Residents of the Bronx are taking issue with a viral clip of Jennifer Lopez talking about growing up on 'the block'
“Jenny from the Block” is currently receiving less-than-positive reviews from people on that very block.
Jennifer Lopez recently released a musical film titled This Is Me … Now: A Love Story which dropped in tandem with her first album in a decade
In a snippet, J Lo is seen taking her hair out of an updo, before saying, “It reminds me of when I was sixteen, in the Bronx, running up and down the block.”
Users have issue with J Lo’s mentioning of her childhood there as they believe she’s using her past despite allegedly doing very little to be an actual part of their community
One user says “We both attended an all-girls high school in an Irish and Italian neighborhood, so you weren’t running up and down the block […] why are you lying? Please stop using us to look human”
