the translator of Jenny from the block has just embarked on a new project that was unveiled last April. It’s Delola, a cocktail brand that specializes in low-calorie, ready-to-drink Spritz. An initiative that does not appeal.
Either way, Jennifer Lopez launched a ready-to-eat cocktail brand on April 4th. To promote her new drinks, low-calorie Spritz (with low sugar content), the singer shared a promotional video in which she is seen in shorts and a white shirt, sipping her famous spirit on the Italian Riviera.
Again this Monday, May 29, the interpreter Jenny from the block presented a photo series inspired by sweet life in the 1970s, through which we find her basking in the sun, glass in hand. A publication that renewed the controversy surrounding this “amazing” project.
The bait of profit.
Surprising, indeed, for a star who has always made sure not to drink alcohol. The singer has always advocated abstinence, assuring that it is the most effective secret of her beauty. in an interview with the magazine InStyle: In June 2016, he said he followed a balanced diet consisting of green vegetables and fish and explained that he “didn’t smoke, drink alcohol or coffee”. Some people then wonder about this confusing commercial choice. A pledge to acquire or a simple change of mind?
“I am so disappointed and confused by his talk about the benefits of not drinking alcohol. It doesn’t matter that the ingredients are healthier, it’s still alcohol containing carcinogenic toxins (…) It would be great if he showed us that we can still enjoy life without alcohol,” reads one of his fans under the post. And continue. “Sober girls would be very excited and own a brand that would stand out. Now it’s just another brand of celebrity liquor.

J-Lo’s drink is different, however, as her cocktails are made with natural ingredients and are less alcoholic than average. The brand’s press release assures that one glass of Spritz will correspond to “the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine”. An argument, but unconvincing, since Aperol (the alcohol that makes up the Spritz) is 12.5% alcohol, when some glasses of wine reach 14.5%. Plus, a glass of Jennifer Lopez’s ready-to-eat shake will provide “110 fewer calories per serving.”
Fight against alcoholism
Added to this first inconsistency was another question, this time against her husband, comedian Ben Affleck. Indeed, the latter fell into alcoholism during his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, whom he divorced in 2015. The actor never hid this addiction and even testified often in the media to better raise the awareness of the public and the younger generation. Invited to the set of The Howard Stern Show in December 2021, he said he was “trapped” in his relationship with the actress. “I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids.Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, editor’s note), but I’m unhappy, what should I do?” (…) So what I did was to drink a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be a solution.”
Confronted with her new husband’s former alcoholism, did Jennifer Lopez make the right choice in launching a spirits brand? Not for his fans, anyway. “It’s probably not the best way to support a sober husband”; “Her husband struggles to stop drinking, and she creates an alcohol brand.” ; “It’s a really weird choice, he would have had so many other ways to make money,” read hundreds of negative comments that appeared under the posts. Fortunately, some still decided to support the 53-year-old artist, but not without difficulty. “I understand, money is money.”
