Jennifer Lopez has faced a turbulent year, both personally and professionally, and recent developments suggest that her career might be hitting another rough patch.
New reports indicate that the singer could be dropped by her record label following the underwhelming performance of her latest documentary and new album. This news comes shortly after her high-profile split from Ben Affleck, which kept her in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. According to a source, Lopez is reportedly in “panic mode,” leaving many to wonder what her next steps will be in the coming months.
Career Challenges Amid Personal Struggles
The “Jenny From The Block” star has long balanced multiple roles—successful music career, acting projects, and touring—but over the years, her popularity has faced challenges. Critics have increasingly scrutinized her work, and some speculate that the drama surrounding her personal life, including her latest breakup from Affleck, may have compounded the pressure.
The former power couple, who first dated in the early 2000s, reunited in 2021 after both went through divorces and relationships with other partners. They married in 2022, yet reports soon surfaced suggesting their relationship was not as stable as it appeared. By late last summer, they filed for divorce, which was finalized earlier this year.
Recent Projects and Setbacks
As her marriage ended, Lopez sought to maintain her career momentum with the release of a Netflix documentary and a new album, This Is Me…Now, featuring tracks widely interpreted as breakup-themed. Unfortunately, neither project resonated strongly with audiences, reportedly placing her career at risk. A source told Radar Online that her record company, BMG, was reportedly disappointed by the performance of both projects and is considering parting ways with her.
“She can’t believe this is happening,” the source revealed. “No matter what she does, she can’t seem to win, and it’s really weighing on her.”
Panic Mode and Next Steps
Close insiders say Lopez has entered what they describe as “panic mode,” actively assessing her next moves as her music, tours, and film projects have failed to gain traction. Her recent international Up All Night summer tour, combined with her Las Vegas residency, attracted critical scrutiny online, from wardrobe choices to live vocal performances, further challenging her public image.
Despite the setbacks, Lopez is reportedly working closely with her teams to determine how to rebound and restore her career trajectory.
