Jennifer Lopez may not be able to avoid questions about her former relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs for much longer as her ongoing legal battles continue to draw public attention to her close ties. Since Diddy’s recent arrest on sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges, many are questioning those who were once part of his inner circle, including Lopez.

The Hustlers The actress and singer, who dated Diddy in the late 1990s, has repeatedly avoided commenting on the scandal. This past weekend, Lopez attended a special screening of her new film, Unstoppableat AFI Fest in Los Angeles. While she was signing autographs outside the TCL Chinese Theatre, a fan pushed the envelope by asking, “J Lo, do you have any comment on Diddy and the allegations?” Lopez did not respond and immediately left the stage with her team, leaving the fans chanting for her.

Scrutiny of her connection to Diddy has extended to her public life, including her recent support of Kamala Harris for president. Some responded to her endorsement with skepticism, including Elon Musk, who reacted to a tweet with laughing emojis indicating that Lopez’s past with Diddy was affecting the public’s perception of her actions.

With Diddy’s trial set for May 2025, sources say Lopez may eventually be called to testify. While she’s remained silent for now, her connection to Diddy could mean the public — and possibly the court — will soon be expecting her to address the matter.
