Megyn Kelly sparked controversy during Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again Victory Rally in Washington, DC on Sunday, January 19. Speaking at the Capital One Arena event, Kelly criticized Jennifer Lopez, citing the singer’s public support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
“Speaking of J.Lo, how happy are you that her candidate lost? That’s so sweet,” Kelly quipped after Lopez endorsed the former vice president at a Harris campaign rally before the election. . Kelly criticized Hollywood celebrities for their political activism, saying they lacked the credibility to influence voters.
Turning her attention to Lopez, Kelly added, “All JLo knows how to ruin marriages,” an apparent jab at Lopez’s four divorces, including her most recent split from Ben Affleck. Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.
Kelly ended her comment with, “Why does she even have to try to ruin the country? Goodbye, J.Lo. It didn’t work for you.” Her comments came as Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce settlement, marking the end of a high-profile union once described as a “fairy tale.”
A source said recently people that Lopez’s marriage to Affleck turned out to be a “nightmare,” but the singer is now focused on moving on. “She’s in a really good place and just wants to close the door on this chapter,” the insider revealed in January 2025.
The rally, attended by thousands of Trump supporters, celebrated the former president’s return to the White House after winning the 2024 election. Kelly’s remarks about Lopez added a polarizing note to the event, drawing both applause and criticism on social media.
