Jennifer Lopez sparked major controversy with her performance at the 2025 American Music Awards held in Las Vegas. The 55-year-old star kissed both male and female dancers during her stage performance while hosting the night, and these moments were watched live by millions.
Lopez, who has been single since her divorce from Ben Affleck, delivered a 6-minute performance at the event held at the Fontainebleau hotel. On a night when big names like Taylor Swift were absent, Lopez tried to liven up the event by singing hits from Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and Beyoncé.
However, the kissing scenes during her performance drew significant backlash on social media. Viewers described this behavior as "disgusting" and "desperate." One user commented, "Jennifer Lopez has lost her mind," while another asked, "Why is she kissing everyone?" Some claimed it was a "desperate attempt" to make her ex-husband Ben Affleck jealous.
Lopez's behavior following her two-year marriage, which ended four months ago, has been at the center of criticism. The scene where she kissed a female dancer received comments that it "went too far."
Among the award winners of the night was 23-year-old Billie Eilish, who won the Artist of the Year award. Eilish, currently on her European tour, sent a video message saying, "This is so crazy, I wish I could be there." Gracie Abrams won the New Artist of the Year award, and SZA took home the Best Female R&B Artist award.
Lopez hosted the AMAs for the second time since 2015. The artist, who drew attention with her golden blonde hair and flashy outfits, was discussed more for her controversial scenes than her musical talents.
