Jennifer Lopez details past abusive relationships in new doc, admits she was ‘manhandled’ and ‘hit rock bottom’

Jennifer Lopez candidly details in her new documentary the abuse she’s faced in past relationships.

“There were people in my life who said ‘I love you’ and then didn’t do things that were kind of in line with the word ‘love,'” she reveals in “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

The pop star visually details her traumatic past in a scene from “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story” called “the glass house,” during which she sings her heartbreaking tune “Rebound.”

“You have to hit rock bottom where you’re in situations so uncomfortable and so painful that you finally go, ‘I don’t want this anymore.'”

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer recalls a therapist once asking her how she’d treat an abusive situation if it were happening to her daughter.

“It was so clear. I’d tell her, ‘Get the f–k out of here and never look back,’ but for me, it was so clouded and complicated,” Lopez explains. “It was like looking through fog.”

Filming the scene took an emotional toll on the “Selena” star, who acknowledged that she was never physically abused by one of her exes.

“Being thrown around and manhandled like that is not fun. I mean, I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God,” she says, choosing not to identify anyone, “but I’ve definitely been manhandled and a couple of other unsavory things.

”Rough. Disrespectful.”

In Lopez’s 2014 memoir, “True Love,” she wrote that she was “mentally, emotionally, verbally” abused but didn’t name anyone.

“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,’” Affleck said in “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

“Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’”

The “Air” star realized that both he and Lopez needed to “learn to compromise.”
