Jennifer Lopez is a triple threat — she’s a dancing, singing and acting superstar.
You can add quarterbacking to that skill set after her work Thursday in Miami.
In a press conference ahead of her Super Bowl LIV halftime performance with Shakira, J-Lo tossed a ball into the crowd, hitting our photographer Jose Fajardo. Jose is fine, aside from his slightly bruised ego.
“I ducked because it was heading towards my face and it hit me in my right hand/camera,” Fajardo said in a written statement. “The ball bounced off of me and went to the right into the audience where a lucky audience member got a Super Bowl LIV football. With therapy I will do my best to move forward and continue my job and cover the game on Sunday.”
She hit him in the hands, so we’ll chalk this one up as a dropped pass for our man Jose. He blamed his catching failure on the photographer’s training to always get the shot.
It’s a tough break for Jose, but a nice souvenir for a fan.
Here are Jose’s photos from the football incident, a story in four parts:
As you can see from the evidence, Lopez appears to point an apology, then quickly washes her hands of the act.
Lopez and Shakira will be the performers for a Super Bowl halftime show surely aimed at a Miami audience. But judging from her passing skills, Kyle Shanahan may want to consider signing J-Lo to back up Jimmy G in the game.
