Fans Criticize Jennifer Lopez’s Cocktail Brand
Lopez’s initial announcement of her cocktail brand in April sparked a strong wave of criticism from many fans who saw it as a mere “money grab”.
“Oh wow. This is disappointing. Why not create an NA brand since you have been vocal about the negative effects of alcohol and you don’t drink? This feels very off-brand for you. Really curious why you sell alcohol,” wrote one user.
Additionally, some expressed their concern and questioned the reasoning behind her decision to venture into the alcohol industry, given that her husband Ben Affleck famously struggled with alcohol abuse and went to rehab several times to manage his addiction.

They continued, “No matter what kind of ‘good for you ingredients’ and ‘health labels’ (gluten-free) alcohol has, it is still a carcinogenic toxin.”
