“I lost a little bit of who I was by trying to build a perfect family life,” Lopez said, reflecting on her marriage and divorce from Marc Anthony. “I was a single mom with two little kids. Lopez reflected on what it was like to come up as an actress during a time when “the beauty ideal was blonde, tall and with a lot of curves” and how she often became the target of a joke because of her body. “No matter what I achieved, their appetite to cover my personal life overshadowed everything that was happening in my career,” Lopez explained. when I came around the corner she was like,” Lopez said making clapping sounds. “I was always the athlete or the dancer… “I really thought I had a chance. “When I was a little girl, it was always ingrained in my head that I wasn’t the singer. Lopez discussed how she was typically “not into politics” but she felt the need to use her platform to make a statement. It’s a dark subject matter, but if we can get the message across in a beautiful way where it’s soft and can be received, then more people can get the message.” I was finding myself,” she said in the documentary, later adding, “There’s so much more I want to do. “I know that the Super Bowl people want us to be weaved throughout the show,” Shakira tells Lopez before the “I’m Real” singer interrupts: “I got kind of a good confirmation that we could have an extra minute or two so we’re at 13 or 14 minutes. “It was an insult to say that you needed two Latinas to do the job that one artist historically has done,” said Lopez’s manager Benny Medina.

Jennifer Lopez's Netflix documentary, Halftime, covers her life in 2019 and 2020. Despite that, her former fiancé Alex Rodriguez doesn't appear at all.

But it's odd for a documentary about a certain time in Lopez's life to basically ignore a relationship that was a major part of her world during that era. The documentary begins with her 50th birthday in July 2019 and goes all the way to her Super Bowl halftime performance in 2020. In Jennifer Lopez's new documentary, "Halftime," the multihyphenate lets fans in to about seven action-packed months in her life, from July 2019 to February 2020.

7 things from learnt from Jennifer Lopez: Halftime on Netflix, from Ben Affleck's small cameo to sharing the Super Bowl halftime performance with Shakira.

While we know it ended well, in Halftime JLo says it was "the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl". Although, as the documentary frequently points out, JLo is more than a popstar. JLo thought performing with Shakira at the Super Bowl was "the worst idea in the world".

'Halftime', the new Netflix documentary about Jennifer Lopez is here to demystify the legend. Here's everything we learned from 'Halftime'.

- Okay, yeah, all these late-night show jokes and rumours do sound awful. - God, J Lo’s kids Max and Emme are so cute! (Oh right, the money and acclaim.) And so big! Now, though, a brand new Netflix documentary is here to demystify the legend. How does she choose which romantic comedy to star in?

Halftime reveals Jennifer Lopez's thoughts on co-headling the Super Bowl, Oscar snubs and more. Here are the five most interesting things we learned.

Speaking of her daughter, Lopez’s decision to have her sing "Born in the USA" was also a carefully thought out statement. Lopez intended to bring awareness to the images that haunted her to become more vocal in the first place. However in recent years, she was living in a United States she "didn’t recognize" and she was "afraid for her kids' future." In the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the singer purposefully included elements in the show to make a statement. As she described in the documentary, she was told the show had to be 12 minutes, but there was a possibility of adding one or two extra minutes. Thankfully, she let her desire to become a singer, actress and dancer push her to fulfill her dreams. It’s not clear as to what publication was guilty of such a faux pas, but she has admirably pushed through such criticism and body shaming. In Halftime, Lopez mentioned she typically was a person that wasn’t into politics. Now to be clear, the film is in no way a play-by-play of the star’s life. It was an insult to say you needed two Latinas to do the job that one artist historically has done." In terms of being a triple-threat entertainer, Jennifer Lopez has certainly earned a reputation as one of the best to ever do it. Let’s start this off by saying in no way did Lopez mention she had an issue with Shakira. For those hoping to catch some juicy news about a beef between the two women, you won’t find that here.

Jennifer Lopez Is Being Called Out For Insinuating That Shakira's Belly Dancing Lacked “Substance” After The NFL Tried To Cut A Political Statement Out Of Their ...

“This is so taken out of context,” agreed another. “To imply that belly dancing = ass shaking, is reductive,” someone said. “Did you watch the documentary??” someone tweeted. “That's why she said that together they had more to offer than just another super bowl show.” We can’t have that!'” she begins. “She was trying to fight to project the message of the cages filled with children to the nfl producer and saying they’re more than just shaking their asses and belly dancing on screen, she had a message about human rights.” So, away from the wider context of the scene — in which Jennifer is attempting to fight for the political symbolism in the show — fans interpreted the singer’s words to be reductive of belly dancing and its significance within other cultures. “I want something real. For some context, belly dancing has long been associated with Middle Eastern cultures, and is thought to have first arisen in Ancient Egypt. From the earliest days of her career, Shakira has become known for this style of dance, using it to channel her father’s Lebanese-Syrian Arab roots. And now that the entire documentary has been released, it seems that J.Lo and the halftime organizers weren’t quite seeing eye to eye about the more political aspects of the performance either. The performance then picks up tempo and little Emme steps out of the cage to be reunited with her mom, who emerges from the back of the stage wearing a feather cape with the Puerto Rican flag on one side and the American flag on the other. At the time, J.Lo and Shakira were both widely praised for incorporating political symbolism and drawing attention to the devastating treatment of immigrants in the US.

A 2002 interview with Billy Bush featured in Jennifer Lopez's Netflix documentary, 'Halftime,' showcases one of many inappropriate remarks made to J.Lo.

I really believed a lot of what they said, which was that I wasn't any good—I wasn't a good singer, I wasn't a good actress, I wasn't a good dancer, I wasn't good at anything. “It was hard when you think people think you're a joke, like you're a punchline,” J.Lo admitted. During a 2002 interview with Billy Bush, the radio host commented on Jennifer's butt, saying, “People have raved about it for years.
