According to her ex, Jennifer Lopez wanted co-star Ryan Guzman to “pretend” he was single to promote their film.
In a recent episode of the No Chaser podcast, the Maxim model accused the superstar of making her ex-boyfriend, “Oh my God,” pretend that he was single to promote the film.
“I received a call from both publicists. Thus, to promote this, they attended afterparties together, holding hands and such.”
Even though Iglesias, 36, did not name-drop Guzman, also 36, she was in a relationship with the Texas-native actor at the same time that he was busy promoting his movie with Lopez, now 54.
Before the movie’s release in January 2015, the co-stars were spotted getting close at a Golden Globes after-party, which coincides with Iglesias’ claims. “At one point, Ryan moved back on the couch, and then he put his arm around Jennifer,” an insider claimed at the time, adding, “They also left together.”
She also remembered a time when Lopez avoided answering a question on The Ellen DeGeneres Show regarding Guzman’s real-life girlfriend.
“We friggin’ met. What do you mean that you are unaware of his possible girlfriend? We got together. You took the s–t right out of my hand, Iglesias said.
Iglesias continued on the podcast, “It was just, like, that sucks,” as she considered the circumstances. She then recalled the time Lopez even pretended, when questioned about Guzman’s real-life girlfriend on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” that she did not know.
Iglesias also called out Lopez for pretending not to know Guzman had a girlfriend during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The former cast member of “Guy Code” went on to say that she was let down by Guzman’s initial introduction to Lopez at an awards ceremony because it seemed the “Enough” star was attempting to scare her.
Iglesias went on to say that Lopez had not been kind to her at first.
Iglesias, who is Puerto Rican-American from New York City like Lopez, said, “I always felt she was someone to aspire towards.” “She was someone who did anything she wanted to accomplish.
“When I first met her, she gave me the strongest, firmest handshake ever and examined me from head to toe.
The “I Am Real” singer responds “no” when Ellen DeGeneres asks if there was “anything going on” between her and the attractive actor in a clip of the relevant segment from the now-defunct talk show.
