Sometimes the Industry is so upsetting. Jennifer Lopez gave a candidly honest interview to Elle Magazine and her rep yanks it and asks to have it done over. Interview is replaced and the world keeps spinning. What's wrong with being honest about her life? I would think people would relate more to her if they knew she struggled in the beginning with her twins. 

Jennifer Lopez sat down with Kevin Sessums who was able to get the singer/actress to dish the dirt about her new life. She portrayed an honest, tired and emotional new mom. Nothing wrong with that. We could have done without the way Kevin described her though...

"Her unwashed hair is pulled severely back and there's a halo of frizz around the crown of her head." 

Ouch

In the article, Jennifer admitted to having "a kind of nervous breakdown" while filming Enough in 2002, not breastfeeding her children and the fact that she is considering putting her kids in Scientology classes. 

She also opened up about the emotional first few days of being a mom. And you know what? I was exactly where she was when I had my first child. I couldn't move much from the c section and I would cry because of my inability to care for the one thing I was waiting for since the day I married.

"“At the tenth day after giving birth all that chemical stuff did
peak—that hormone thing—and I did cry a lot that day because I was
having so much trouble moving. I couldn’t get up fast enough to feed
the babies…Marc was helping out a lot and I was crying and crying and
going, ‘Oh, Papi...they’re going to know everybody more than me…They’re
going to love everybody more than me!’
"

What do you think? Anything she admitted here too risky to print in Elle? The article ended up on an online site anyway. So, it's not like the quotes have gone to waste.

On Her Breakdown

“I don't get nervous. I don't get depressed. Blah, blah, blah…There
was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies
and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did
have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a
set, but in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want
to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie Enough [in 2002]. Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown.

“There were no signs leading up to it. You really don’t know what’s
happening at first. I was going, ‘What’s going on?’ It was about five
in the afternoon in my trailer and I just sat there. I remember telling
my assistant at the time, Arlene, to go get the director, Michael
Apted, and I asked if I could go home because I was feeling so sick and
weird. I kept saying, ‘I’m not weak. I’m not weak.’ It’s funny what
tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn’t want people to think I was
falling apart. But when I look back on it now it’s so odd to me that
those are the words I chose to say: ‘I AM NOT WEAK.’

“Michael let me off and when he left I just sat there and started
crying and felt frozen. I didn’t want to move. My bodyguard, who had
been with me for many years, picked me up and put me in the car and
they took me to a doctor...Right away they want to give you pills. But
I have never liked the idea of pills and kept saying no to that and
just kept asking what was wrong with me. ‘I’ll tell you what’s wrong,’
the doctor said. ‘You’re sleep deprived. You’re overworked. Go home and
go to bed.’ He told me to go back to work on Monday after a weekend of
sleeping because if I waited longer that I would only get more panicked
about working. So that’s what I did. I’ve still never been to a shrink.
I’m not a shrinky person.”

On Scientology

“I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices.
I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff.
It’s very helpful. So in a sense, yeah, you do call on it.”

“Do you consider yourself a Scientologist?”

“No…I wouldn't have a problem saying [I was] because I know what it
is. I have no problems with it and it really actually bothers me that
people have such a negative feeling towards it.”

“That it is too exotic? Too cultish?”

“Just negative feelings.”

“Would you consider schooling Emme and Max in a Scientology school?”
“Yeah.
I wouldn’t mind. Not at all. Because I know that the technologies that
they have are very helpful…It’s all about communication. That’s the
thing I really don’t like about talking about this. I do know so many
great people who do do it, who choose it as a lifestyle and really
follow it and it is their religion…I just wish that people wouldn’t
judge it without knowing what it is.”

On Breast-Feeding

“Some people are radical about it. But to each his own.”

“If you had had only one child, would you have chosen to breast-feed?”

“No...I...ah....it’s not that...I’d rather not discuss it. It’s a whole other thing.”

On Selling Photos of the Twins for an Estimated $6 Million

“I think one of the reasons that the price went so high is that we
didn’t want to do it for so long…We weren’t into it. I was like, ‘No, I
don’t really want to. No. No way.’ But then it got to the point that
you go, ‘Well, now you’re being stupid with these offers’…I thought I
can set them up. I can put this away just for them.

“We gave a little bit and I saved the rest for them.”

“Don’t their parents make enough money? I mean, according to Forbes you’re the ninth-richest female working in show b usiness.”

“Hmmm…I wouldn’t believe everything I read.”

On Being Called a Diva

“I think I’ve always been a favorite to pick on. Once you have a lot
of success, you become a target in many ways…I just think that the
whole diva thing is a misrepresentation of who I am. I think some of
that is because of where I came from. I came from the Bronx and a
certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right
things. And still, even with that, they find stuff to pick on.”
