Jennifer Lopez had her former costar Ryan Guzman fake his relationship status to hype up their movie almost 10 years ago — so claims the guy’s ex-girlfriend, who was with him then.

Melanie Iglesias made some pointed remarks about Jennifer Lopez’s behavior during the 2015 press tour for “The Boy Next Door” on the “No Chaser” podcast. Iglesias accused Lopez of engaging in behavior that suggested she and Ryan Guzman were in a relationship, such as holding hands at after-parties, despite Guzman having a girlfriend at the time. Iglesias also recounted an awkward encounter with Lopez at an awards show, where she claimed Lopez gave her an intimidating once-over and an overly firm handshake, which left her disappointed considering she viewed Lopez as a hero.

Melanie also pointed out when Ellen DeGeneres directly asked on her show, “Doesn’t he have a girlfriend?” … J Lo played dumb … claiming she didn’t know. That’s not exactly what Jennifer said, BTW — but yes, she definitely made it seem like she wasn’t sure.

Anyway, Melanie goes on to hint what she shared is just the tip of the iceberg .. and the full story is far worse. She doesn’t get into details — but it sounds messy, to say the least.

Melanie Iglesias’s account suggests that Jennifer Lopez’s actions during the press tour for “The Boy Next Door” successfully created speculation about her relationship with Ryan Guzman. However, Iglesias now claims that Lopez’s behavior was calculated, and she harbors hard feelings about it. Iglesias asserts that Lopez was aware of her relationship with Guzman at the time, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

Melanie and Ryan eventually parted ways in the same year, although it remains uncertain whether Jennifer Lopez’s purported actions directly contributed to their breakup. However, Melanie’s remarks strongly imply that she believes Lopez played a role. She also criticizes Lopez, questioning why she feels the need to portray a romantic connection with every co-star.
