Jennifer Lopez has made some dancers on her new music video mad. J-Lo hired some Ballerina’s to perform and they claim they were only paid 150 dollars and they had to work all night. They also complained about working conditions. The dancers say they had to stand outside in the cold and then, when they were let into a basement it was unheated and infested with cockroaches. This was probably not Jen’s fault; blame the directors and producers of the video.
Whatever...
Director Antoine Fugua has a lot of explaining to do. Fugua directed Denzel Washington in ‘Training Day’ and he has a new movie out right now with Bruce Willis called ‘Tears of the Sun’. Fugua is also married to Actress Lela Rochon (Waiting to Exhale, Harlem Nights) and they have a daughter who is six months old. Last Week I mentioned how he was having problems with a stalker. Well this stalker claims she and Fugua were lovers for ten months and when the affair ended he started harassing her. The woman Tonya Evans is a 30 year old personal trainer from Los Angeles. Evans says Fugua harassed her and her teenage daughter. She says Fugua told her she would end up missing like Chandra Levy if she ever went public about their affair. She also claims Fugua has a sex addiction. Fugua allegedly told Evans he was involved with ten women at the same time. Last year Fugua had Evans arrested for trespassing on his property and harassing his wife. Tanya would call Lela and taunt her about her affair with her husband. Last Week Fugua, Lela and their family posed on the cover of Jet magazine. In the article Lela talked about her difficult pregnancy and how she had to stop working. Lela was on bedrest with this pregnancy. Lela miscarried in her fifth month during a previous pregnancy and she had to leave the lifetime show ‘The Division’. Lela says she loves being a mommy and she looks forward to returning to work. Lela married Fugua in 1999 they also take care of his son from a previous relationship. Will Fugua have to pay this woman off to keep her quiet? How will his marriage hold up against these charges? If he was cheating do you think he learned his lesson?
