Ben is a Leo in the “I hate a flop” kind of way. He doesn’t hate that she attracts attention, he hates that she attracts negative attention and he doesn’t want that vibe around him. This is post-Gigli flop era break up again. HE WILL BE BACK.

For real is everyone forgetting Ben’s Phoenix tattoo?! That man matches her freak and is a diva too

So true! He is a kook! She hates that tattoo! They are both utterly unhinged (and yet I’ve convinced myself they can hinge to each other 🥲🤝🏼) 🔥🦅

I personally will be bereaved if these two kooky critters cannot work it out. I may run wild through the streets like a young Jennifer 😔

Thank you for that Jerry Seinfeld “yapping” comment bc I’m sick of seeing that man’s name; wish someone would just ask him if “dominant men” always date 17 year old schoolers when they’re approaching 40. 🙄

On the wedding movie front, I have to give a shout out to the insane wedding scene from Wild Tales (2014) for the way it goes totally insane

OK genuine question b/c I don’t know and don’t care to look it up - what is the chance her tour is cancelled due to poor ticket sales? I mean they just cancelled The Black Keys arena tour cause they didn’t sell any tix. Were her venues too big for her?

i think it's definitely due to the complete non-interest in her tour/the album not making any noise. but it's weird to me that in this moment of outsized (even for them) attention to their marriage/divorce rumors, her statement seems to point to that. she was very candid in the doc about no one asking for new music from her. blaming a canceled tour on a divorce is more embarrassing than blaming a canceled tour on low sales (which many artists are dealing with) ... but then again i'm not our nation's leading july leo and JLo is...

100 percent chance.

Poor reception to her “not a music video.” Poor reception to the album. Poor reception to the tour. Being eviscerated on TikTok. She’s not having a great spring! And like Anna said above, Ben seems to hate attention not on his terms and negative attention

Expand full comment

I wondered if that is the case and all the Ben stuff is being played up as a distraction? I’m certain they are perpetually on the rocks so it isn’t a lie per se

Expand full comment

obsessed with that tour cancelling newsletter basically rebranding The Secret/'manifesting'/simply living one's life and doing anything at all as 'the JLo effect'

Expand full comment

Hopefully some lower-key time and a break from hustling can help get J Lo and B Fleck back on track. I’m barely on TikTok so I don’t know what’s happening there besides a lot of criticism of her, which feels unfair and probably also sexist. Ben, you knew what you were getting into! Come on.

on the topic of JLo... I've seen some stuff about "JLo hate," like that variety article... Do ppl really hate her like that? Like obviously ppl talk about her ridiculousness, and I don't anyone really *loves* her music, but do people HATE her? Like they did Anne Hathaway or Gwyneth Paltrow back in the day?

Expand full comment

Chileeee JLo invented the Anne Hathaway. That lady been getting dragged every 6 months since social media began. She be giving cringeworthy and unaware lol poor baby. Even the Puerto Ricans are dragging her on TikTok after that lady “on the block” video she released 🫣
