Why Jennifer Lopez And Rosie Perez's Beef Started - Here's Why

comedyhype.com/ - Can there only be one fly girl? In a new episode of 'Here's Why' we dive into the tension between Jennifer Lopez and Rosie Perez that started back in the 90's. The Hip-Hop dancers would end up being co-workers on the set of 'In Living Color', where their beef would begin. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_

[@DH-uw3us]

I don't understand why Jennifer thought she was the best dancer on the show. It looked like she had to work twice as hard to be half as good.

[@joeprime1164]

Believing in herself the way she has is why she is where she is today. Haters are gonna hate. Strong personalities like hers , the idaf about everybody else mentality, seems to always win out in the end, while ppl like you and me just end up talking about ppl like her

Saying J lo was the best is crazy cause no one noticed her at no time while the show was on. It was years later when she was a singer and it was mentioned by her people literally had to look it up.

I agree, she wasn't a standout in Living Color, she was an average dancer.

[@rosevalerio5863]

So true... the first time I noticed her was in the movie Money Train and even tho it wasnt a huge role, I remember telling my best friend that girl got some star quality about her... she proceeded to tell me that she was one of the FlyGirls & I was shocked bcuz we watched that show religiously... so when I went back to revisit the episodes was when I realized she didn't stand out as much as the others, she was definitely the least best dancer... she didn't leave as much as an impression which is why I didn't recognize her in the movie.

What you said has nothing to do with human psyche. We all have our own approaches to how we want to approach jobs or co-workers. Some people want to be assholes and that's their style, some people want to get along with their co-workers or employees, and etc. Rosie chose to be their boss and not be the Fly Girl's friends and it worked for her for a while and then it didn't. People complained about her behind her back and etc. Tiara the world ain't black and white, people have their personality quirks no matter where you go. You might have a job now where somebody don't like yo ass no matter how cordial or nice you are to them.

Years ago I had a job where a female supervisor was always harder on me than the other employees. I felt as if she was picking on me and didn't like me. I later found out she was harder on me because she wanted me to be the best. She saw something in me that the others didn't possess and was ultimately setting me up for success. What if Rosie was harder on J.Lo for the same reason. Hispanic/Latin women were trying to make it in Hollywood back then. Maybe Rosie was pushing J.LO to be better and represnt for the culture

Wow so she wasn't chosen and then next thing you know Keenan gives a call to the producer saying I want her. To me that raises the question what could have happened between those two for him to keep her. It seems like she was getting away with stuff just by being the rookie on the team that means she was getting privileges. We can't deny that all those women were really good dancers but since Jennifer is the most successful of course they're going to talk good about her in more favorable terms because of her society status. To me it goes back to what Jamie Foxx was saying on his special about how Jennifer Lopez really was on a living color. The pieces come together when you think about that.

I don't dislike J lo. She was a nobody and did well for herself, but she always came off as a diva. I'm surprised Rosie Perez didn't do as well and doesn't have the net worth J lo has. Maybe it was due to her reps, agents, etc.and that accent, I think, was detrimental to her career. Plus she isn't a singer. I still like ILC, they pushed boundaries and helped a lot of unknowns go onto fame. In some respects ILC had better skits than SNL and drove censors crazy with their topics. The entire Wayans family is very talented. They made TV history. Thanks for this video.

Rosie is cute and NY tough...her dancing skill and determination are unmatched in Hollywood. She's earned her place at the table. I respect JLo for pushing the envelope NOW trying to make a name for herself but sadly, it appears JLO has made a career out of getting men to back her career. She's moved from one high-profile relationship to another (Puffy, ARod, Mark Antony, Ben Afleck)... I have more respect for Rosie because what Rosie has... she fought hard to get. Rosie is scrappy and resilient. JLO can't touch her in that department.
