Jennifer's Lopez, or rather JLo as referred to by pop culture, has been in the limelight recently, getting love and criticism at the same time. With the musical released with her album "This is Me... Now" and then announcing an Amazon Prime documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," Lopez’s career is sitting right now. The documentary tracks back Jennifer and her co-actor, Ben Affleck, who is now her husband, after years of separation.

In an interview at the beginning of this year, J.Lo expressed this, saying that this album and all the related work were the culmination of the search to find love throughout her lifetime. This is so much different than in her case; there is true love, and there is much needed to stick by this love throughout our lifetime. Reputation or not, J.Lo has been the focal point of very harsh criticism.

Bitter TikTok users have not been given a chance for such documentaries, and she is out of touch. The old interviews, numerous quotes, and recordings are now being digitized and dissected, mostly via TikTok, by a number of people who are fuming at what, in their view, arrogantly insufficiently conveys.

But what fuels this group's obsession to knock stars like Lopez off their celebrity perch? Experts say it's a powerful cocktail of schadenfreude—pleasure taken in the misfortunes of others—combined with a yarn that's hard to look away from. Social Comparison Theory further explains why we mostly compare ourselves with others, which either causes inferiority or a kind of self-assertiveness.

In the end, however, love them or hate them, one can take or leave Jennifer Lopez's latest foray as most meaningful to one's particular point of view. But, above the hubbub of celebrity mere mortal mudslinging, perhaps it's time we all redirected our own focus to our lives and dreams.
