Jennifer Lopez addressed a wild claim that’s been swirling for years. The star weighs in on the rumor that she once cut dancers from an audition based solely on their astrological sign.
Back in 2022, "Glee" alum Heather Morris dropped a bombshell on the "Just Sayin’ with Justin Martindale" podcast, claiming J.Lo had once held a full-day dance audition, then asked dancers to raise their hand if they were Virgos, and quietly dismissed those who did. Morris conceded she wasn’t in the room herself, calling it “hearsay,” but the story caught fire online.
According to Morris: “By a show of hands, if there are any Virgos in the room, can you just raise your hand?... She whispered to her assistant … they had to leave after a full day of auditioning.” She was clear to qualify it as second-hand information, but hinted that multiple people had told versions of the same tale.
J.Lo Speaks Out — Sort Of
Fast-forward to October 15, 2025, during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Lopez was finally asked about the rumor. Her response was a cheeky blend of half-denial, joke-defense, and an intriguing spark of concession.
She said, “You know I’ve thought about this … I do like to joke around! I maybe just had an issue with a Virgo, and so I was like, ‘If anybody’s a Virgo here, get out!’ But I didn’t mean it!” She went on: “I’m sure they knew I was joking. Or maybe they felt like I wasn’t? Who knows? But I was absolutely joking.”
So, no categorical denial. She leaned hard into the “it was a joke” defense and left room for ambiguity in how it landed with folks in the room.
What We Can (and Can’t) Conclude
She didn’t fully deny it. Lopez never firmly ruled out that something like this might’ve happened; she instead framed it as humor gone too far. She insists she was joking, but also acknowledges that not everyone may’ve perceived it as a joke.
The original claim is shaky as Morris admitted she didn’t witness the moment and described it as “hearsay," per Glamour.
Jennifer Lopez is widely regarded as an icon of control, choreography, and image, which, combined with the cultural fascination with astrology, keeps people discussing, theorizing, and sharing stories about her. By the way, did we mention that J.Lo's ex, Marc Anthony, is a Virgo? Regardless, Jennifer Lopez believes this might be a misunderstanding.
