In addition to her recent personal and professional troubles, Jennifer Lopez is facing new allegations of diva-like behavior. There is a “no eye contact” rule for crew members and limousine drivers. This sparked further criticism.
Lopez's career has been hit with setbacks, including a canceled tour and rumors of marital trouble with Ben Affleck. Industry insiders claim that Lopez has asked staff to avoid eye contact. The Daily Mail reports that an online user shared that backstage staff at her concerts have been instructed to avoid eye contact with her at all costs.

The eye contact ban also reportedly applies to limo drivers. The same report quoted a source as saying Lopez's driver was instructed not to look at her, even in the rearview mirror. These accounts have been corroborated by various individuals, including a podcaster known as LABellatini, who shared on TikTok that he stopped production to remove the sound technician with whom Lopez made eye contact.
