Jennifer Lopez Called Out By Former Choreographer For Disparaging Comments

by

Jennifer Lopez is loved by many. The Latin pop sensation has spent decades in the music industry and frequently also dipped her toes in film and television. Though there are many people who will go to bat for Lopez, a recent viral TikTok expressed some less than positive feelings about the singer. It came from a former choreographer who worked with her back in 2019. In his video, he recalled some of the unpleasant experiences he had with Lopez painting a pretty harsh picture while doing so.

The story comes from the 2019 Grammys where J-Lo participated in a tribute to the music of Motown. She worked with choreographer Dexter Carr, who opened up on the experience in a recent TikTok. In the video, he criticizes Lopez for only working with 3 black dancers. Even more damning is a rude comment she allegedly made about Carr’s hair. In the comments fans largely take Carr’s side, sharing their criticisms of J-Lo’s decades in the spotlight. Check out the full video and all the fan reactions to it below.

Choreographer Shares His Experience With Jennifer Lopez

Earlier this month, Jennifer Lopez became the newest celebrity roped into the massive legal drama surrounding Diddy this year. A report claimed that the FBI was looking into allegations that the rap mogul had her carry his gun the night of the Shyne Nightclub shooting. That allegations came down just a few weeks after even more bad news hit for J-Lo.

Last month, Lopez canceled several of the dates on her upcoming tour. While a reason was never officially confirmed rumors swirled that it could be due to low ticket sales. Seven different shows that were due to take place in late August were reportedly canceled and wiped from the tour slate.

Beyoncé’s Former Choreographer Says Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Was The Best

by

Beyoncé’s former choreographer, Frank Gatson, labeled Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime performance the best that he’s ever seen. In response, Beyoncé’s fanbase was not happy with him. He defended himself in the comments section of his own post, explaining that Beyoncé is an adult who can handle hearing his opinion.

Gatson revealed his opinion during a birthday post for Rihanna on Instagram. “Happy Birthday @badgalriri I have to say,” Gatson captioned a photo of himself with the singer. “You have done the best SuperBowl of anyone in my book. I always knew you were a true superstar the moment we met. So proud of you. Enjoy your day. I can’t wait to see where you go from here.”

Frank Gatson’s Post

“You’ve been hateful as fuck ever since you started selling B’s routines to JLO back in 2014,” one user commented. Another accused him of being “bitter and jealous.” “Beyoncé is not hurt,” Gatson replied to the posts. “Beyoncé and I would always disagree on what’s is good and what is not. But mostly .. We both believe in pure magic. That’s why I worked with her so long. I was always honest about my opinion. I will never say something just to please an artist. Artist need the truth and other opinions to be great. That’s why Beyonce is on the great island alone. She can handle a grown men opinion. That’s why I have so much respect for her. She does the work with no drama like the people on this post. Thank You sir for you honest thoughts by the way.”

Gatson choreographed Beyoncé’s first Super Bowl performance in 2013. The event came after a over decade of working together. Gatson served as the choreographer on a number of her music videos including “Crazy in Love,” Check on It,” “Upgrade U,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” among others. Further, he served as the director, creative director, and choreographer for her tours, The Beyoncé Experience, I Am… World Tour, and The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. He’s also worked with a number of other artists including R. Kelly, Michael Jackson, TLC, En Vogue, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Lopez, and more.
