In an interview with Variety published on Tuesday, Feb 13, 2024, Jennifer Lopez, the celebrated singer and actress, opened up about an encounter with Ayo Edebiri, the star of “The Bear,” backstage at Saturday Night Live.
Lopez revealed that Edebiri approached her backstage shortly after past critical comments she made about Lopez resurfaced.
Edebiri had previously made critical remarks about Lopez’s career, calling it “one long scam,” in a 2020 podcast episode.
However, upon meeting Lopez backstage at SNL, Edebiri offered a sincere apology, expressing remorse and acknowledging the hurt caused by her previous comments.
Lopez recounted the encounter, stating that Edebiri approached her with tears in her eyes, expressing how terrible she felt about her past remarks.

During the interview, Lopez revealed that she had heard similar criticisms throughout her career and that Edebiri’s comments did not significantly affect her.
She also mentioned that she admired Edebiri’s vulnerability and appreciated her apology.
In addition to apologizing directly to Lopez, Edebiri addressed the incident humorously in an SNL skit titled “Why’d You Say It?”
In the sketch, Edebiri portrayed a character who defended inappropriate online comments and eventually admitted to her wrongdoing.
The reconciliation between Lopez and Edebiri serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability, forgiveness, and growth in the entertainment industry.
As Lopez prepares to release her highly anticipated ninth studio album, “This Is Me… Now,” fans can look forward to witnessing her continued success and evolution as an artist.
The album and accompanying film are set to drop on Friday, offering fans a glimpse into Lopez’s journey through love and featuring star-studded cameos.
Despite past differences, the two stars have demonstrated maturity and mutual respect, setting an example for others in the industry.
