Jennifer Lopez Turns to Reality TV to Revamp Her Career After Marriage and Career Setbacks

Actor, singer, dancer … reality star? Jennifer Lopez hopes to rehab her diva reputation and relaunch her fading career with a reality TV show — and her long-time BFF Kim Kardashian is encouraging her to do it, sources tell GLOBE.

“J.Lo needs people to like her if she wants any sort of chance at a comeback. Unfortunately, she’s never been so unpopular,” says a source. “That’s why she’s looking to do a reality show. It would be a great way to prove she’s not as nasty as everyone seems to think!”

As readers know, the 55-year-old Bronx-born beauty’s reunion with Ben Affleck, 52, crumbled after two years of marriage amid rumors that he was fed up with her prima donna demands and wild spending.

“Ben has come out of that breakup looking like the winner, and if she doesn’t do something drastic to change that, she’s always going to be branded toxic,” says the source.

J.Lo’s fourth marriage was not the only thing to hit the skids for her in 2024 — so did her career! She was forced to cancel her first stadium tour in five years last summer amid dismal ticket sales.

“Even though she insisted it was because she needed to spend time with her family, the ticket sales were not good and it was a huge blow to her ego,” tattles the source.

Another humiliation: The songbird’s musical movie, This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, and accompanying documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, were major flops!

Now, with reality queen Kim, 44, egging her on, the Anaconda vixen believes a reality show might be a great vehicle to rehab her image and relaunch her career, a source shares.

“J.Lo isn’t afraid to take risks and think outside the box. Even though people might think reality TV is beneath her, it’s a wildly popular format and a great way to reach fans, and that’s what matters to her,” dishes a source.

“She clearly has no problem putting her life on display — a lot of people would say she shared way too much — so it’s easy to imagine her doing a reality show and having cameras following her 24/7. She loves attention,” vents an insider.

“The question is whether it will redeem her the way she wants and help her connect with a bigger, younger fan base — or leave her even more humiliated!”
