Netflix has released a new documentary about the life and career of 52-year-old Jennifer Lopez “Halftime”. In the film, the superstar revealed many previously unknown facts from her biography, including admitting to a difficult relationship with her 76-year-old mother Guadalupe Rodriguez and sisters Leslie and Linda. According to Lopez, the parent often beat her and her sisters.

She did what she had to do to survive, and that made her stronger and more resilient. She beat the hell out of us,” Lopez said.

Jay Lo emphasized that the mother did not do this out of evil, but so that the children would grow up independent and unshakable.

My mother is a very complex woman with a lot of baggage behind her. She wanted us to grow up independent and never rely on men.

Former school teacher Lopez confirmed that in childhood the star often clashed with her mother, and she really was far from ideal. However, according to the teacher, she never stopped “taking care of her girls.”

Also in the film, Lopez, who herself is raising 14-year-old twins Max and Emmy, admitted that she almost quit show business when the press and the audience began to mock her curvaceous. After all, J. Lo became famous at a time when the ideals of beauty were far from today. Jennifer noted that her fiancé Ben Affleck was shocked by such increased attention to the figure of her lover, but she was not surprised.

When I first started performing, painfully thin tall blondes were considered the ideal of beauty. I grew up among curvaceous women and simply could not be ashamed of it. It was hard, she said.

Recall that the official premiere of the film “Halftime” took place at the film festival “Tribeca” (Tribeca Film Festival) last week. Jennifer Lopez wowed fans by stepping onto the red carpet in a daring gown with large sheer panels at the hips and bust.
