Jennifer Lopez, known for her elaborate theatrical bent, faces concert backlash and a lawsuit after a steamy May 29 performance in Rabat, Morocco, which aired on live television.
Jennifer Lopez : Singer Faces Concert Backlash after Suggestive Performance
Jennifer Lopez has performed in Morocco before but her gigs have never aired on TV until now, according to TMZ. The 45-year-old’s high energy show at the Mawazine World Rhythms International Music Festival featured revealing outfits showing off her curves and, of course, lots of booty shaking. It’s J-Lo, what did they expect?
Morocco is a conservative nation and some are believed to be demanding that minister of communications Mustapha Khalifi resign for permitting the performance to be broadcast, the BBC reports.
Khalifi tweeted that the concert was “unacceptable and goes against broadcasting law” and wants to meet with the ethics committee of the 2M network that aired it. He is not expected to resign.
Should Jennifer Lopez and her promoter face legal consequences from the lawsuit (very unlikely but possible), she could face up to two years in prison, putting her upcoming Las Vegas residency at risk.
