Glee star Heather Morris claims Jennifer Lopez once cut dancers who were Virgos

Glee actress and dancer Heather Morris has claimed Jennifer Lopez once employed a brutal method to select dancers for one of her tours.

Glee star Heather Morris, who worked as a professional dancer for many years, claims Jennifer Lopez once cut dancers from auditions for one of her tours based on their astrological sign.

The actress, 35, alleged on the Just Sayin’ With Justin Martindale podcast that the newly married pop star, 53, walked into the room after a long day of auditions and said, “Thank you so much, you guys have worked so hard. By a show of hands, if there are any Virgos in the room, can you just raise your hand?” New York Post reports.

Morris claimed Lopez then whispered something to her assistant and told the dancers who were Virgos, “Thank you so much for coming,” revealing they “had to leave after a full day of auditioning for Jennifer Lopez”.

When host Justin Martindale asked if the story was true, the Dancing With The Stars alum joked the whole thing was “hearsay”.

Earlier in the clip, Morris explained just how daunting a dance audition could be to further drive home why Lopez’s alleged reason for cutting people was cringe-worthy.

“You’re not getting paid, you’ve been there since 10am and you’re auditioning until 6pm,” she said. “You’re not getting any money. People judging you the whole time.”

Reps for Lopez did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

It is unclear why the Hustlers star, who is a Leo, is seemingly not a fan of Virgos.

However, her ex-husband Marc Anthony – who she was married to from 2004 to 2014 and shares twins Emme and Max, 14, with – is a Virgo.

In the comments section of Martindale’s clip featuring Morris’ bombshell remarks, people had mixed reactions.

One person wrote: “In J-Lo’s defence, Virgos tend to be highly UNcoachable unless they happen to share your vision.”

Another said: “Such a Leo move … As a double Virgo, I’d be flattered at her intimidation of being upstaged by our perfectionist ways.”
