Before we get into the bad, let’s accentuate the good for a minute: J.Lo is, by all accounts, a massively famous celebrity with plenty of money. If you need any evidence, her latest film, the Netflix hit Atlas, has been on or near the top of the streaming service’s most-watched movies list since it came out last week.
That said: There has been a general air of backlash towards her as a celebrity in the last few months. If you’ve been online at all, you’ve seen it — or maybe you’ve seen backlash to the backlash, because after all, this is the internet we’re talking about here.
This is where Eiza González comes in.
Yesterday, the Ambulance (good movie btw) star took to her IG Story to repost a headline from The Hollywood Reporter about J.Lo’s canceled tour — and she defended her fellow celeb as well.
“I have to say the level of bullying that this woman has received in the last few months is so disturbing and heartbreaking,” Eiza wrote. “How can you complain about someone being mean while enjoying being mean about them.”
“People are humans, make mistakes and have some personal things happening while also having to be constantly perfect in the public eye. The world is a pretty complicated place.”
“The best thing we could be doing now is be kind. We have no clue what people are experiencing.”
