Jennifer Lopez Recalls Being 'Manhandled' By A Past Partner

Jennifer Lopez shed light on some of her toxic past relationships in her new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, where she says she was once manhandled by a partner.

As the documentary follows the making of her original musical film, This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story, Lopez reveals how she felt trapped in unhealthy, and even dangerous, situations when she was younger.

The emotional admission comes after shooting the video for her song Rebound,  where the star dances and fights with her on-screen love interest.

After putting on an intense performance, a drained looking Lopez walks away from the set and tells cameras, Im glad that ones behind us.

Being thrown around and manhandled like that is not fun, Lopez explains while being driven home.

I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God, she clarified. But Ive definitely been manhandled and a couple of other unsavory things. Rough. Disrespectful.

Reflecting more during a phone call with close friend and producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, the Hustlers star says, More than anything, its really a vulnerable place to be in every day. Thats why I go to work every day, and Im like, What am I doing?

Its a personal journey which will relate to so many women who are abused, Goldsmith-Thomas tells her. Youre talking about how we accept less than we deserve.

The singer didnt share who had manhandled her, nor did she offer any other details that would hint at who she was talking about.

In This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story, Lopez explores her love life and relationship with herself through an imaginative combination of flashbacks, dream sequences and sit downs with her therapist, played by rapper Fat Joe.

Made to accompany her new record, This Is Me... Now, the visual album also features appearances from Lopezs now-husband, Ben Affleck , Jane Fonda, Sofia Vergara and Neil deGrasse Tyson, among others.

Both This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story and the documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told are available now on Amazon Prime Video.
