Jennifer Lopez has confessed that “a compulsive behavior” and being “terrified to be alone” may have helped caused failed relationships and marriages in her past.
“I’ve been married four times now. I’m sure people watching from the outside were like what is this [expletive] girl’s problem,” she said in a video clip posted to her Instagram page. “You saw kind of a compulsive behavior. What I portrayed to the world was oh this didn’t work out, and it’s fine, and I’m good, and they’re good, and they were great, and I was great, and all of that was kind of [expletive].”
