Jennifer Lopez’s New Cocktail Draws Criticism Due To Singer Previously Advocating For Sobriety: This Is Disappointing

Some fans are not happy with Jenny from the block!

After famed entertainer Jennifer Lopez announced the launch of her new alcohol brand Delola earlier this week, she was met with a flood of disapproving comments by social media users.

Many discussed in the the singer’s distant relationship with alcohol in recent years. Some noted that Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Ben Affleck have been proud proponents of sobriety, with the Air star being very public about his battle with alcoholism.

One user wrote:

“This is super disappointing considering she doesn’t drink and is married to a recovering alcoholic. How about we support small business instead of celebrities slapping their name on whatever that want to make more money.”

With a slew of similar statements following behind.

As a caption to her Instagram post announcing the drink, Jennifer Lopez invited followers to “live Delolalife together”, writing:

“The secret is out!!! I’m proud to share with you @DELOLA … my new collection of unique, mixology-level ready to enjoy spritzes. More is #OnTheJLo. Let’s live the #DelolaLife together”

In a promotional interview, the “Maid In Manhattan” star reportedly shared that the drink line has been in the works for the past two years, and that her husband was a major inspiration while developing the product. She stated:

“I’m a Leo. On the actual bottle, I put two lions — Ben and I are both Leos — like a male and a female lion…It’s very personalized, really authentic to me and what I love.”

Additionally, J. Lo discussed wanting to create a better tasting drink with better ingredients that represented her fun lifestyle. She added:

“So the way we came up with the name for Delola was really about being the carefree, fun side of who I am…I love to entertain. I love throwing parties at my house. I’m always the first one on the dance floor at all of the industry events and at times, on vacation, dancing on the table. That is kind of who Lola is.”

Reportedly, Delola Spritz is the first of the products release and includes three original cocktails – Bella Berry Spritz, Paloma Rosa Spritz and L’Orange Spritz.
