Jennifer Lopez: My mother was cruel and hit me... and the mother confesses: I hit her for her own good!
The American star, Jennifer Lopez, announced that she had a complicated relationship with her mother, Lupe Rodriguez, claiming that she was beaten and cruelly treated by her mother when she was a small child.
The 52-year-old pop star revealed exciting secrets about her personal life in her new documentary Halftime, which is broadcast on the global "Netflix" platform, saying in one of the scenes: "Rodriguez did what she had to do to survive, This made her a strong character, but a tough one.. She hit me hard.”
On the other hand, Rodriguez, 76, did not deny her daughter's allegations, as she admitted in the same film that she was cruel to her daughter Jennifer and two sisters Leslie and Linda, and said: "I had high expectations for them .. It wasn't to be criticism, it was just for Eben. They are able to do better.”
The mother added that Jennifer made her live the most difficult days of her life, noting that they often argued violently and angry.
It seems that violence was not the appropriate weapon to deal with Ji Lu, who decided to run away from home at the age of 18 due to frequent disagreements with her mother over her future. Her mother was frustrated with her academic performance, while she was distracted by her love of dancing.
The singer admitted, "My mother used to tell me that if I wanted to live at home, I had to get a good education, and one night we got into a heated argument and I left the house immediately."
For her part, Rodriguez stated that she wanted her three daughters to get a good education, so that they would not be dependent on men, saying, “I was far from an ideal mother.. The only thing I can always say, is that everything I did, I did for their own good.” .
Rodriguez's tough and tough life grew out of her tough life, immigrating from Puerto Rico and raising her three daughters in the Bronx along with her husband David, whom she divorced as soon as her two daughters were older.
