Jennifer Lopez is facing a lawsuit in Morocco for allegedly damaging the reputation of women, as reported recently. A Moroccan educational group has claimed that the 45-year-old singer disrupted public order during her performance at the Mawazine International Music Festival, which was broadcast on television. The show, known for its revealing outfits and sexy dance moves, showcased Lopez’s famous curves in a controversial manner.
Legal troubles have arisen for Jennifer Lopez in Morocco following a controversial concert broadcasted on May 29. A group in Morocco has filed a lawsuit against her, alleging that she disrupted public order and brought dishonor to women. The lawsuit names both Jennifer and the concert promoter, and if found guilty, they could face a maximum prison sentence of two years. Although the government has not intervened in the legal proceedings, the Minister of Communication in Morocco has expressed disapproval of the televised performance.
Disruption: The group accused Jennifer of causing a stir and damaging the reputation of women with her provocative dance moves and revealing outfits.
During her performance at the Mawazine International Music Festival, Jennifer’s dance moves and outfits emphasized her unique style. Minister Mustapha Khalfi expressed his disapproval of the content that was aired during the festival, stating that it was against broadcasting regulations on May 30. Jennifer’s show on May 29 was just one of many performances at the 10-day festival, which included other famous artists such as Pharrell, Maroon 5, Sting, Usher, and Akon. Over 160,000 music fans came to the well-known music festival held in Rabat’s capital city.
Blame Television: One of the problems with the show was that it was broadcasted on television in a country in North Africa.
Formal complaint: The Minister of Communication in Morocco expressed disapproval over Jennifer’s performance in a tweet, labeling it as ‘inappropriate’.
Potential consequences: Jennifer may face a maximum prison sentence of two years if she loses the lawsuit. Despite the ongoing legal battle, Jennifer shows no signs of slowing down, as she recently announced an upcoming residency in Las Vegas. Additionally, she has started filming her new NBC series, Shades Of Blue, where she plays Detective Harlee Santos, a police officer caught up in a group of corrupt cops. Shades Of Blue is slated to air in the winter of 2016, although an exact release date has not been confirmed. Before the TV series premieres, Jennifer will be seen on the big screen alongside Viola Davis in the film Lila And Eve, set to be released on July 17. In the movie, the two women seek revenge for the murders of their children through vigilante justice.
Staying occupied: Jennifer has a new season of American Idol, a movie coming out in July, and a Las Vegas residency coming up on her schedule.
