Jennifer Lopez Slams Paparazzi for Getting Too Close to Emme at ‘Othello’ Premiere!
Jennifer Lopez proved once again that she will fiercely protect her children, even in the face of aggressive paparazzi. The “Unstoppable” star attended the Broadway premiere of Othello on Sunday night, bringing her 17-year-old child, Emme, as her date. But it was the behavior of one overzealous paparazzo that caused a dramatic scene outside the Ethel Barrymore Theater.
Paparazzi Clash
As Jennifer Lopez and Emme exited the theater, a paparazzo reportedly shoved a massive camera into Emme’s face. This prompted Lopez to spring into action. According to an exclusive source, the 55-year-old actress immediately “yelled” at the photographer, going into “mama bear” mode to protect her child. It’s clear Lopez wasn’t going to tolerate anyone getting too close to her family, making it known that she’s ready to defend her loved ones from any intrusion.
A Night to Remember
Despite the paparazzi drama, Lopez and Emme seemed to enjoy their evening. Lopez shared a joyful moment from the night on Instagram the following day, captioning a video of them dancing together with “Othello premiere with the best date ever.” Fans could see the bond between mother and child, emphasizing how special their time together was, despite the chaos.
More Celebrity Drama
Lopez wasn’t the only one involved in a tense situation at the premiere. TV host Sherri Shepherd revealed on her show Monday morning that she was confronted by an “unnamed celebrity” at the event. Shepherd described the encounter, where the celebrity allegedly grabbed her arm and forcefully spun her around, accusing her of “shading” them. While Shepherd’s rep did not comment, sources suggest the star in question was actress Nia Long. However, neither Shepherd nor Long elaborated further.
A Star-Studded Night
The Othello premiere was a glamorous affair, drawing a star-studded crowd. Celebrities like Martha Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jamie Lee Curtis were spotted attending, while former President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, received a standing ovation. The event ended with a lively celebration at Tavern on the Green, where attendees, including Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, partied with the cast.
In the world of Hollywood, where drama often unfolds behind the scenes, Jennifer Lopez’s protective instinct over her children and the celebrity encounters at the premiere have certainly sparked conversation.
