Following the information of the divorce (lastly) taking place, the whole web was full of snark.

2024 has seen Jennifer Lopez launch two disappointing motion pictures on streaming. Latest years have reminded many on social media about Lopez’s historical past of allegedly not tipping or jarringly undertipping meals service and hospitality staff.

Is A-ROD shading Jennifer Lopez?

On Tuesday, August 20 — inside hours of his ex-fiancee’s divorce submitting turning into information across the globe — Alex Rodriguez took to his Instagram Story to share a quote. He was quoting himself (he does that typically).

“You both go somehow, you would possibly as nicely be the one deciding the course,” the quote learn.

That’s a reasonably innocuous quote below regular circumstances. On this case, one needed to surprise if it was a reference to Jennifer Lopez’s public cut up.

Fact be advised, even when he’s speaking about Jennifer Lopez divorcing Ben Affleck — which does appear possible — it’s not essentially shade. Neither is it in any other case insulting.

Shade typically takes the type of a backhanded praise.

Nevertheless, if something, it sounded as if A-ROD had been merely saying that Jennifer Lopez would possibly as nicely be the one deciding that her relationship is over. That’s not essentially shading her.

That is definitely a posh time for her

Alex Rodriguez has used imprecise quotes previously to seemingly touch upon issues — together with his 2021 breakup with Jennifer Lopez.

However, A-ROD and his alleged shades (or phrases of consolation) apart, we’re positive that she’s listening to from everybody in her life who advised her that Bennifer 2.0 was a foul concept.

Generally, “I advised you so” can wait. And that goes for individuals in each of their social circles.
