Jennifer Lopez drawn into legal case involving her ex Sean Diddy

Jennifer Lopez
  • Jennifer Lopez has remained silent about allegations involving Diddy.
  • Her name could surface in court proceedings.
  • An accuser of Diddy plans to call Lopez as a witness.

Jennifer Lopez may soon find herself involved in a legal case against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs.

While the actress and singer has remained silent about recent allegations involving Diddy, new legal developments suggest her name could surface in court proceedings.

According to InTouch Weekly, Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, a Michigan inmate suing Diddy over an alleged sexual assault in 1997, plans to call Lopez as a witness. Recent court documents reportedly refer to her as “Jennifer Lynn Lopez aka Jenny from the Block,” indicating her potential involvement.

Lopez and Diddy were in a high-profile relationship from 1999 to 2001, leading Cardello-Smith to believe that she might have information relevant to his claims. The inmate is representing himself in the case and has expressed intentions to have Lopez testify in support of his allegations.

Meanwhile, Lopez has been navigating personal challenges, including her recent divorce from husband Ben Affleck. While the split has been difficult, it has provided a brief reprieve from the media storm surrounding Diddy.

Lopez has yet to comment on the legal case or the possibility of being called as a witness, leaving questions about her potential role in the ongoing proceedings.

Angelina Jolie unveils reason behind taking years-long acting break

Angelina Jolie
  • Angelina Jolie is making a remarkable return to acting.
  • She opened up about what led to her taking an acting break.
  • She explained that her focus during this time was on her family.

Angelina Jolie is making a remarkable return to acting with her role as opera legend Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s biographical film Maria. The portrayal has already earned her nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards, with Oscar buzz also swirling around her performance.

In a recent interview with E! News, Jolie, 49, opened up about the challenges that led to her years-long hiatus from acting. “I went very dark for reasons I’d rather not explain, but I didn’t have a lot of light and life within me,” she shared. Reflecting on that period, she added, “Your light’s dim.”

The actor explained that her focus during this time was on her family, including her six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, and that personal struggles often dictated her career choices. “The choice of what to work on and when was not a creative choice, often, the last few years, but sometimes the practical choice,” she admitted.

Jolie described Maria as a turning point in her healing journey. “Maria was the beginning of starting to come alive again,” she said. She credited the support of loved ones, noting, “I needed a lot of kind people around me to hold my hand.”

Jolie’s return also highlighted her family’s creative involvement. Daughter Vivienne assisted with The Outsiders musical, while sons Maddox and Pax worked as production assistants on Maria.

  • She revealed how it influenced her portrayal of Judy Roble.
  • Lopez shared how personal her role felt.

Jennifer Lopez is opening up about the complexities of motherhood and how they influenced her portrayal of Judy Robles in her new film Unstoppable. The movie, inspired by the true story of champion wrestler Anthony Robles, highlights the profound bond between Anthony and his mother.

In an interview with British Vogue, Lopez shared how personal her role felt, stating, “As a mom, you always want to put your best foot forward for your kids, to lift them up — but that doesn’t stop you from being a human being who struggles.”

She reflected on the duality of motherhood, balancing joyous moments with private challenges. “What made it exciting as an actor for me to play is, you know, kind of talking to Anthony and your kids and them saying, you know, like, my mom was the best mom. She’s always happy and always making everything fun and joyful and all of that. And then talking to you and saying, you know, this was really hard,” Lopez explained.

As a mother of twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and co-parent to Ben Affleck’s children, Violet, Finn, and Seraphina, Lopez emphasized how her real-life experiences informed her understanding of Judy Robles’ character. Lopez had said in an interview, reflecting on her journey as a single parent, “Love and effort are more than enough to make a difference.”

Although Unstoppable grossed just $3,900 during its UK opening, insiders revealed the limited release was a strategic move to position the film for awards season. The film, co-produced by Ben Affleck, debuts on Amazon Prime Video on January 16th.
