Jennifer Lopez, Shakira slammed for flashing on-stage at Super Bowl
Former Fox News prime time star Megyn Kelly has taken aim at the pop icons in a discussion about women “embracing their bodies”.
Megyn Kelly thought Jennifer Lopez and Shakira wore outfits that were too revealing when the singers performed at the Super Bowl halftime show two years ago.
“I object to like J.Lo and Shakira showing their vag at the Super Bowl,” the former Fox News prime time star said on her podcast on Friday. “Like I don’t want that.”
Kelly waded into the issue when discussing women “embracing their bodies”.

“It’s gotta be situation appropriate,” she told her guest, comedian Bridget Phetasy. “But I don’t really object to just women embracing their bodies or showing up their bodies like the pictures.”
Kelly was complimentary toward former supermodel Paulina Porizkova, the 57-year-old widow of late Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, who has been active on social media, posting photos of her nude or scantily clad body as a way of embracing ageing.

Earlier this month, the Czech-born beauty posted an image on Twitter showing her wearing a thong bikini while the camera is aimed at her backside.
“Paulina Porizkova just had a really interesting post,” Kelly gushed. “She showed her bottom (and) she looks amazing.”
Kelly’s criticism of J.Lo and Shakira echoed that of several parents who said it was too risqué for a mass audience that tuned in to Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on February 2, 2020.
Bronx-born pop star Lopez was seen writhing her way around a pole while Shakira, a Colombia native, twerked and belly danced — all while both of them wore skimpy outfits.
“Not appropriate for kids at a Super Bowl halftime show. Just J-Lo’s outfits in general,” one outraged Twitter user, TurtlePower98, posted.
Another pearl-clutching critic went further: “Absolutely the worst, most vulgar halftime show ever.”
