“Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped. I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was drank a bottle of Scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.”
This comment didn’t go well with Jenifer Lopez 52, who recently rekindled her romance with Ben after 17years.
