Jennifer Lopez is actively avoiding not answering any questions about her ex Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal issues despite growing curiosity over what she may have known when he allegedly committed his crimes.
Paparazzi spotted the triple-threat entertainer on two occasions recently, and attempted to get a response from her on the horrifying allegations made about the disgraced rap mogul.
Following a screening for her new film “Unstoppable” in Los Angeles on Oct. 26, Lopez stepped out to sign autographs for fans, when a woman asked, “Do you have any comments about P. Diddy?”
The “Jenny From the Blink” singer — who had a stoic look on her face in the clip obtained by the Daily Mail — appeared as if she did not hear the question, and quickly exited with a bodyguard.

In early October, Kevin Hart was asked about “hosting” parties for the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper, he told the pap, “You asking the wrong person the wrong question, man. It’s not a good question.”
Despite her attempts to not comment on her ex’s issues, Lopez’s name was dragged into the scandal this week by an ex-Playboy model who claimed Combs made her watch a music video of the “Let’s Get Loud” singer at one of his infamous “Freak Off’ parties.
“It was kind of an odd thing to find out that we were watching [Lopez’s] video,” Rachel Kennedy alleged on the Daily Mail’s “The Trial of Diddy” podcast Friday. “It seemed a little bit creepy to me, very disrespectful.”
The former model also claimed that Combs was on the phone with Lopez at one point during their alleged interaction, which she claimed took place at a Tokyo hotel room in 2000.

However, attorney Tony Buzbee, who is spearheading many of the civil suits against Combs, has alleged that many “powerful people” were involved in the former Bad Boy exec’s sexual assault crimes.
“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure — that we’re right before we do that,” he said in a press conference on Oct. 1. “The names will shock you.”
