Jennifer Lopez Reveals She Has Trauma From Abuse in Past Relationships

Jennifer Lopez was subjected to abuse in her past relationships.

The singer, 54, who got married to her on-off love Ben Affleck, 51, in Las Vegas in 2022, opened up about the horrors of her previous romances in her new documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

She says in the film: “There were people in my life who said, ‘I love you,' and then didn’t do things that were kind of in line with the word ‘love.'"

Jennifer, who had twins Max and Emme in 2008 with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55, added a therapist once asked her how she would tackle an abusive situation if it were happening to her daughter, saying: “It was so clear. I’d tell her get out of here and never look back, but for me, it was so clouded and complicated. It was like looking through fog.”

Jennifer stressed she was never physically hurt by one of her exes, but said she was shoved around.

She added: “Being thrown around and manhandled like that is not fun.

“I mean, I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God, but I’ve definitely been manhandled and a couple of other unsavory things.

“Rough. Disrespectful.”

She also details her traumatic past in a scene from her new musical film This Is Me…Now: A Love Story called "The Glass House," during which she sings her poignant song "Rebound."

It contains the lyrics: “You have to hit rock bottom where you’re in situations so uncomfortable and so painful that you finally go, ‘I don’t want this anymore.’”

And in Jennifer’s 2014 memoir True Love she told how she was “mentally, emotionally [and] verbally” abused – but, just like in her new film, did not name anyone.
