Jennifer Lopez’s new memoir reveals she was abused

SHARE Jennifer Lopez’s new memoir reveals she was abused

A lot of people will be eager to read Jennifer Lopez’s new “True Love” memoir when the book is released Tuesday. In excerpts that have leaked out, J-Lo reveals, “I’ve never gotten a black eye or busted lip, but I have been in relationships where I felt abused one way or another: mentally, emotionally, verbally. … I know what it feels like for your soul to be diminished by the way your loved one is treating you.”

Lopez, who has been married three times — to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony — also has been in high-profile relationships with Sean “Diddy” Combs, Ben Affleck and Casper Smart, with whom she split earlier this year.

While Lopez doesn’t make clear which man was the abusive one, it seems it may have been Anthony. In the book, the actress and singer writes, “Anybody looking from the outside in would have thought my life was great. I had a husband and two beautiful children. I was on ‘American Idol’ and my new single ‘On the Floor’ had gone to number one all over the world. What people didn’t know was that life really wasn’t that good. My relationship was falling apart and I was terrified.”
