Discussing the nasty comments that she gets from online trolls, Jen began: “But it was funny, I do laugh at some of the things sometimes, because they do say funny things, too. One of the things: ‘Why, when she takes pictures, she always smiles with her mouth open? Why she always do that?”

“‘Why’s she always dressed that way?’” she went on. “‘Why don’t she dress her age?’ I was like: ‘Huh?! What?!”

“’Why’s she always naked?’” Jen continued, before dropping the now-iconic statement: “And I say: If you had this booty, you’d be naked, too!”

Reacting to the video on a Reddit forum, one person wrote: “As someone who recently lost 30lbs, she’s right. The weight came off and so did my clothes. If I looked like JLo at 50+ I would be an absolute menace.”
