Jennifer Lopez sued for ‘tarnishing women’s honor’ in Morocco, according to a new report
According to the lawsuit, Jennifer ‘disturbed public order and tarnished women’s honor and respect.’
Both the singer and the concert promoter have been named in the lawsuit, which could result in a prison term of up to two years.
While the government has not gotten
directly involved in the lawsuit, Morocco’s Minister of Communication
did object to the televised performance.
Standard show: In her Mawazine International Music Festival performance, Jennifer’s moves and costumes showcased her bottom
‘What was broadcast is unacceptable and goes against broadcasting law,’ Minister Mustapha Khalfi wrote on Twitter on May 30.
Jennifer’s May 29 performance was one of
many occurring during the 10-day festival, which also featured Pharrell,
Maroon 5, Sting, Usher, and Akon.
More than 160,000 people attended the renowned music celebration in the capital city of Rabat.
Blame TV: One of the issues with the performance was that it was televised in the North African country
Official objection: Even the Minister of Communication for Morocco tweeted that Jennifer’s performance was ‘unacceptable’
Ramifications: If Jennifer loses the lawsuit, she could conceivably be sentenced to up to two years in prison
The Moroccan lawsuit is not likely to slow down Jennifer, who recently announced an upcoming residency in Las Vegas.
The singer and actress has also begun production for her upcoming NBC cop drama, Shades Of Blue.
On the show, Jennifer stars as Detective
Harlee Santos, an otherwise honourable police officer who gets entangled
in a ‘tight-knit group of dirty cops.’
