AceShowbiz - During CNN's New Year's Eve special, comedian Whitney Cummings mercilessly roasted Jennifer Lopez, citing her failed year in both her personal and professional life. Cummings pointed out the nation's unanimous preference to see "J.Lo in a toxic relationship than in concert."
Besides Lopez and Affleck, Cummings also targeted many other celebrities like P. Diddy, Sabrina Carpenter, Demi Moore, Pamela Anderson, and even co-host Anderson Cooper, CNN, and herself.
Lopez's marriage to Ben Affleck ended in divorce in August 2024 while her album "This Is Me... Now" and its companion film received poor reviews leading to a subsequent cancellation of her tour.
Despite their split, Lopez and Affleck remain amicable and have been spotted reuniting for a brunch and exchanging Christmas gifts. They were even rumored to have packed on a secret PDA during one of their post-split outings.
While many commended them for keeping it civil for the sake of their children who have grown close since their wedding, some others were skeptical and accused them of faking separation to distract attention away from her failed musical comeback.
