In her new movie, Jennifer Lopez plays a CEO accused of being a whore and who is shamed for having sex. Meanwhile, Mary Bonnet's cocaine addiction led to her firing from Selling Sunset and potential…
Everyone's making a big deal about the fact she plays a CEO, and the role was written specifically for her by her co-star, Brett Goldstein.
The only Black characters are a court reporter and a prison guard who literally takes direction from a female inmate who snaps her fingers and demands a cup of coffee.
Brett's character, Daniel Blanchflower, who also is Jennifer Lopez's love interest, has a sister who's incarcerated for committing murder by decapitating a man.
And yet oddly, it's not a PR issue for Jennifer Lopez's CEO character to be dating a man whose sister is in jail for murder.
The ending of this movie culminates, no pun intended, with Brett Goldstein running in and being like, "Yeah, I fucked her," to a room full of shareholders.
If we admit that we fucked, he can't do anything about these pictures that show two consenting adults having a loving relationship.
So she wants to be treated respectfully at work, and then at the end of the movie, in a room full of, you know, again, shareholders, she's like, "Thank you, Daddy." To which then Brett Goldstein is like, "You're welcome, baby." So how many ways does Jennifer Lopez's CEO get disrespected in this movie? The movie opens with Jennifer Lopez being called a whore at a deposition.
Her great sin is having dinner and breakfast with a business associate, and somehow because of something that happens every single day by men and women, the storyline in this movie is that the Latina CEO spread her legs and had sex with somebody so that her airline could get gates at an airport.
That's the best storyline that Hollywood could come up with for Jennifer Lopez, and she's not immune because this-- if this role was written for her, does she not push back at all? At all? That's the best storyline they could come up with.
Never mind the fact that the movie completely conflates what an outside attorney and an in-house attorney actually does.
And so when Brett Goldstein is taking a deposition, number one, it's not something that anyone in his situation would ever do, but then number two, Brett Goldstein's attorney character lets the witness he's questioning walk off and leave without answering after his client has just been completely abused, insulted, and called a whore by the other side, and she's supposed to swoon over this guy.
And much is made about the fact that, oh, you know, she's usually a maid, or she's usually this.
Didn't she play Kat Valdez when she was one of the biggest pop stars in the entire planet? This is not Jennifer Lopez's first movie as a successful person.
In The Wedding Planner, Matthew McConaughey, you know, rescued her Gucci shoe.
In that movie, she played an Italian, so now she's able to play a successful Hispanic woman who's called a whore, whose sex life is openly discussed and, and the final scene of the movie, you know, has this guy, you know, saving the day by admitting he had sex with her.
