One such video has now gone viral, featuring a woman who claims to have attended the same high school as Lopez. In the viral TikTok clip shared by @photosbyangela, she calls out the singer for what she perceives as misleading statements about her past in The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

“Okay, I truly have left this woman alone for years. I have just been annoyed in silence since High School—I am a Puerto Rican woman from the Bronx, who went to the same high school as you and you’re lying.” 

She claimed to have seen the singer’s high school photo and stated that she did not have hair like that. She further questions the singer’s alleged lack of contributions to Bronx communities, saying,

“Please stop using us to look human. We are sick of you, you don’t do sh*t for us. Keep our names out of your mouth. We’re not running up and down the block, not all of us do that—Stop using us to look human. Stop using us to look relatable. We don’t like you.”
