Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagicSaturday evening live might get a little tricky Ayo Edebiri after her past insults Jennifer Lopez's career resurfaced.
Years before starring The bearEdebiri, 28, appeared on a 2020 episode of the podcast “Scam Goddess” to discuss Linda Taylor's welfare fraud. During her conversation with host Laci MosleyEdebiri brought up Lopez, 54, saying she believed Lopez's entire career was “one long con.”
“Well, that's the point. She thinks she is on multiple tracks, but she is not,” Edebiri explained at the time. “I think she thinks she's still good even though she doesn't sing for most of these songs.”
Edebiri confessed that she became “fascinated” by Lopez songs that reportedly featured other artists' vocals instead of the pop star's. The Emmy winner said she then started “reading” other things.
Celebrity feuds are so fascinating that there's even an award-winning Ryan Murphy TV series devoted to the subject. While some A-list issues seem inevitable — Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B, for example, or Jef Holm vs. Arie Luyendyk Jr. – others seem to come out of nowhere. Freddie Prinze Jr. for example, spoke poorly […]
“A lot of the song descriptions will be like, 'J. Lo didn't have time to go to the studio,' like J. Lo was busy,” Edebiri said. “It's like, 'Do what?' Of course not singing!”
Four years later, Edebiri was selected to host the Saturday, February 3 episode SNL alongside Lopez himself, who will be the musical guest.
Ahead of the episode, the duo got together with the cast member Heidi Gardner to promote the show.
“I'm very excited, I love your show,” Lopez told Edebiri during a show promo teaser on Friday, February 2. Edebiri replied, “I love everything about you.”
Ayo Edebiri's fashion sense is anything but ordinary. The Bear star has experimented with everything from tailored leather dresses to plaid dresses as he posed on the red carpet. Edebiri has also rocked a number of power suits, including the all-white ensemble at the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards in January 2024. She proved she means business […]
Neither Lopez nor Edebiri have responded to the 2020 comments.
Since Edebiri's podcast appearance, she has come a long way in her career. Last month she won her first Emmy for her role in The bear.
“I am so incredibly grateful for this for so many reasons. But most importantly, this is a show about family and found family and real family,” Edebiri said during her acceptance speech. 'My parents are here tonight. I let them sit a little far away from me because I'm a bad child. But I love you guys so much.”
Whether she's walking the red carpet, performing live or just out and about, Jennifer Lopez always serves up a seriously hot style moment. The actress's sexy style is as iconic as her eponymous J. Lo glow. From plunging necklines and thigh-high leg slits to slinky dresses and teeny minis, the star of Wedding Planner […]
While Edebiri has received a lot of praise lately, she has also received some criticism for her candid movie reviews on the website Letterboxd. Despite the backlash, Edebiri brushed it off and said her comments were all in good fun.
“I'm a comedian. Everything I say online, I think I would say to someone's face,” she told reporters after the Emmy Awards in January. “I have a mailbox [account] because I love movies, I love TV, and I love this industry. I know how hard it is to make something. I respect everything that has ever been created.”
