Jennifer Lopez sparked a storm online. After the last MET Gala, a video of one of the journalists appeared on TikTok, in which the singer answered a question about her outfit. Netizens immediately accused the star of lacking manners and having a dismissive attitude towards others. But were they right?

A bad day can happen to anyone. However, it's no secret that celebrities have their whims. A journalist experienced this firsthand when she encountered Jennifer Lopez a few days ago. Although the 54-year-old can boast the title of a pop culture icon, she has been experiencing a decrease in popularity and facing increasing criticism lately.

A few days ago, Jennifer Lopez again outraged the internet with her behaviour, which fans deemed dismissive. The unfortunate incident involving the singer occurred on the first Monday of May during the MET Gala, or the "fashion Oscars" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year, J.Lo was one of the hosts of the event.

Of course, the artist ensured she had the right outfit for the evening, which couldn't be ignored. Lopez's attire also caught the attention of journalists waiting for the stars at the famous museum stairs. Anika Reed, a reporter for USA Today, shared a video on TikTok in which the singer succinctly responded to her question: "What are you wearing today?"

Schiaparelli - tossed Jennifer Lopez towards the gathered journalists.

The brief, concise reply instantly caused the star to become a mockery on TikTok. Netizens accuse the American singer of a dismissive attitude towards the journalist recording the event. The comments under Anika's video were boiling.

Drama: Who does she think she is? What a dismissive attitude; She radiates such "warmth"; Why does she have such an attitude; J.Lo, don't forget you're there only because of us; Schiaparelli!; She doesn't even try to prove she's nice; She looks her up and down... rolls her eyes, "Schiaparelli"; The way she said it was so dismissive; - thunder the netizens.

Rightfully so?
