J. Lo faces possible lawsuit from Cyprus hotel
Jenny from the Block might lose some of those killer rocks she's got. A luxury hotel in northern Cyprus is threatening to sue Jennifer Lopez for $40 million after the pop star canceled a concert there, citing political reasons, according to Sky News. Lopez was scheduled to perform at the Cratos Premium hotel on July 24, but backed out after the booking "outraged Greek Cypriots in the south of the island nation." Apparently, J.Lo's appearance triggered fury among Greeks who felt her concert gave legitimacy to northern Cyprus. The protesters sent thousands of notes and letters to J.Lo and her representation, causing the singer to back out of the show.
A spokesperson for J.Lo told celebrity gossip website TMZ:
J.Lo can still salvage the relationship with Cyprus, though. The hotel owner said the lawsuit will be dropped if Lopez reconfirms her concert at the hotel."Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse. "After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it was the decision of management to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."
