Star claims she saw ‘weird’ Jennifer Lopez ‘set up paparazzi shot’ in Hamptons

A popular reality star has claimed she watched Jennifer Lopez set-up a paparazzi shot of herself in the Hamptons.

Former reality star Whitney Port has claimed she saw Jennifer Lopez orchestrating her own paparazzi shots.

The Hills alum and her husband, Tim Rosenman, claim they witnessed the US singer “set up” paps in the Hamptons – and they told their With Whit podcast listeners all about it.

“Candy Kitchen [an ice cream shop] in Brideghampton is so special that I’m pretty sure JLo the other day was riding her bike to get a scoop of ice cream for a paparazzi shot,” Port, 39, said.

Rosenman, 42, chimed in to clarify that Lopez “did not even go in” and was “just there for the exterior shot.”

Lopez reportedly set up her own pap shots in the Hamptons, according to a reality star.

When he called Lopez’s behaviour “weird” and said the 55-year-old was “addicted to attention”, Port said she “agreed” with the diss.

“That’s her vibe,” Port said.

“She’s popped everywhere. Her continually looking hot in cute settings is what keeps the machine going.”

Rosenman added: “She’s already as famous as you can be, why does she need to stoke the fans of her own flame? Seems unnecessary.

“Why does she feel the need to keep the machine going?,” he asked before speculating “maybe she likes … extra f**king attention.”

The producer and Port agreed that “if [they] had JLo’s money, [they] would just be done.”

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

Port and Rosenman’s comments come after Lopez spent the Fourth of July and her 55th birthday in the Hamptons – without husband Ben Affleck.

The actor remained in Los Angeles, where he recently purchased a $US20 million bachelor pad, as their second wedding anniversary came and went.

While on the east coast, Lopez was frequently photographed on her bicycle with and without her wedding ring on.

She and Affleck, 51, sparked split speculation in May, with Page Six reporting they have been “over” since March.

The Oscar winner has yet to officially file for divorce in efforts to “protect” Lopez, who is “furious” with him for “humiliat[ing]” her, a source told Page Six on Monday.

“She made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” the insider said, claiming Lopez “has not fully accepted it is over.”

The Grammy nominee is currently back in California and has toured multiple homes in Beverly Hills since her return.

She and Affleck were initially engaged from 2002 to 2004 before getting back together in 2021 and tying the knot the following year.
