Megyn Kelly Criticizes Jennifer Lopez’s Bold Stage Presence: “So She’s a Soft Porn Star Now”
As Jennifer Lopez captivates fans with her bold stage performances on tour, Megyn Kelly reignites controversy by condemning the pop icon’s wardrobe and persona, sparking a cultural debate on age, empowerment, and expression.
As Jennifer Lopez dazzles audiences across Europe on her “Up All Night” tour, political commentator Megyn Kelly targets the superstar’s provocative performances and personal life with sharp criticism — but Lopez remains focused on her art and empowerment.
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to making headlines, whether it’s for her music, her fashion, or her unrelenting drive. But in the midst of her explosive Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, the global pop icon has found herself in the crosshairs of conservative commentator Megyn Kelly — and the commentary is anything but subtle.
In a recent social media post reacting to footage of Lopez performing in a revealing lace-up unitard, Kelly declared, “So she’s a soft porn star now. Great choices!” The video in question shows Lopez dancing sensually with male backup dancers before launching into her 2011 hit “I’m Into You.”
Kelly’s remarks come as part of an ongoing string of jabs aimed at the singer. Just last month, during a segment on The Megyn Kelly Show, the former Fox News anchor scrutinized Lopez’s ensemble at a Pride event in Washington, D.C. “This is a serious problem in our culture,” she said, criticizing the singer’s choice to don a daring outfit. “This 56-year-old woman… thinks it’s really important that she show her vagina to us.”
She even went as far as accusing Lopez — and other female celebrities like Halle Berry — of pushing a false narrative of empowerment through what Kelly calls “over-sexualization.” “Why do these women think this is empowering?” she asked rhetorically.
Kelly’s disdain for Lopez has extended beyond fashion critiques. At a Trump victory rally earlier this year, she took an unsolicited swipe at Lopez’s reported split from husband Ben Affleck. “All J. Lo knows about what to do is ruin marriages,” Kelly said to the crowd. “Why did she have to try and ruin the country too?”
While Megyn Kelly’s barbs have garnered attention, Lopez herself has remained unbothered publicly. Her social media has remained a glowing testament to her dedication — filled with glamorous shots, high-energy performance clips, and behind-the-scenes moments from her European tour. She’s also promoting her upcoming musical drama Kiss of the Spider Woman, adding another high-profile project to her resume.
Despite the noise, Lopez is still in command. Up All Night: Live in 2025 — her first tour in six years — launched on July 8 in Pontevedra, Spain, and will wrap in Sardinia, Italy, on August 12, spanning 21 shows in total. Fans have been raving about her on-stage energy and the spectacle of the performances.
Whether you see her as a provocateur or a powerhouse, Jennifer Lopez continues to be a defining figure in pop culture — unafraid to push boundaries, regardless of the backlash. And for now, she’s letting her performances do the talking.
