Fans divided over Alex Rodriguez's ex, Jennifer Lopez promoting alcohol despite husband's battle with addiction
Alex Rodriguez's ex, Jennifer Lopez, recently faced criticism from fans after she posted Instagram photos of her birthday, promoting her cocktail brand Delola. Some users accused the actress and singer of being insensitive to her husband Ben Affleck, who has a history of alcoholism.
Affleck has been open about his struggles with alcohol addiction and has also undergone treatment for it. Despite Lopez's claim that she drinks responsibly, social media users questioned her decision to launch an alcohol-based business, given her husband's experiences.
In the photos, Lopez was seen holding a glass, sunbathing, and celebrating by standing on a tabletop.
While some praised her marketing tactics, others expressed concern and disappointment in her seemingly casual approach to drinking.
"Help your husband stay sober," a fan wrote..
"Production of Delola going on before Ben."
However, there were also fans who defended Lopez, arguing that her personal choices should not be dictated by her husband's history with alcohol.
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez's relationship
Pop star Jennifer Lopez and former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez were regarded as one of the most significant couples during their brief union. However, after a few happy years together, they broke up in 2021.
While they were on vacation in the Bahamas in 2019, Alex proposed to the 54-year-old star on the beach. He gave Lopez a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring worth $1 million.
The 48-year-old former baseball player later revealed that the suggestion had been tested with his assistant over the previous three days.
Even former president Barack Obama sent a handwritten card to the newly engaged couple to offer his congratulations.
After breaking up with Rodriguez, Lopez got back together with her ex-boyfriend, Ben Affleck. They are now married, while Rodriguez has embarked on a relationship with fitness instructor and mother of two, Jaclyn Cordeiro.
