Jennifer Lopez became the target of criticism on social media after a video showed a carefully controlled exit in New York City during an appearance linked to the promotion of her new project, Office Romance.
In the footage, the 56-year-old singer and actress appears in the lobby of the Four Seasons hotel, waiting for other people to leave the area before making her exit for photographers. Lopez then slowly walks to the car, posing and waving to the paparazzi.
The video quickly gained traction online. “This is peak celebrity nonsense,” one commenter argued. “This is next-level narcissism,” said another. “What a joke,” wrote a third. “How much did she pay them to take photos of her?” another one jabbed.
At the time, Lopez was on her way to a screening of her upcoming Netflix film, Office Romance, at the AMC Newport Center in New Jersey, where she posed alongside actor Brett Goldstein, her romantic co-star in the movie.
In the film, Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, the CEO of an airline company who enters into a secret relationship with a new company lawyer, exploring the boundaries between professional life and romance in the workplace. The production is scheduled to premiere on the platform in June 2026.
