Megyn Kelly had some strong words for Jennifer Lopez after a raunchy performance left Kelly describing the pop star as a porn star. Kelly shared a video of a recent performance of the 56-year-old mother of two at the\u00a0Lucca Summer Festival in\u00a0Italy. During the performance, Lopez wore a skimpy body suit thong and can be seen dancing with several men in extremely provocative poses. At one point, Lopez can be seen mounting one of the dancers with the help of two others. She also discussed her sexual preferences during the show, saying, \u201cI have to be honest with you, sometimes I get in different moods at night. I don\u2019t know about you, but I do \u2014 and sometimes I like it hard.\u201d She went into further detail about her sexual moods and how she prefers her romantic rendezvous. \u201cSo she\u2019s a soft porn star now. Great choices!\u201d wrote Kelly<\/a>. Others agreed, with one user writing<\/a>, \u201cThe worst part is people going to her concerts (and other female pop stars) are just collectively watching porn together in public at this point. That\u2019s so weird and no one is batting an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly further criticized Lopez on her show<\/a>. \u201cWe see heinie with a thong and a man looks like he\u2019s giving her oral sex \u2014 like his face is in her crotch. She simulates actual sex acts \u2026 though she\u2019s clothed, with a bunch of men wearing just pants and corsets, I guess,\u201d\u00a0she criticized, saying Lopez is no longer a sex symbol.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I can say this \u2019cause I\u2019ll be 55 in November. We\u2019re not sex symbols. We could look great for our age, we can rock a bikini in the right setting, that\u2019s terrific, good for us.\u201d She later added, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, it sailed with menopause.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source has insisted that some of the songs during Lopez\u2019s performance are inspired by her break up with ex-husband Ben Affleck. \u201c’The material is inspired by what she went through during her relationship with Ben. \u2018Wreckage Of You\u2019 was so specifically about Ben, and \u2018Up All Night\u2019 points to where Jennifer is at in her life right now. This is a whole new era for Jennifer and she isn\u2019t going to be holding back,\u201d said the source<\/a>. Brandy Smith, a licensed psychologist, accused Kelly of policing women and Inquisitr<\/em><\/a> framed the criticism as misogyny. \u00a0<\/em>Another therapist, Tori Lyn Mills, agreed, stating that its harmful to mental health to push a particular image of how woman should look at a certain age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
