Ahead of the mini-concert, JLo arrived at the Aelia restaurant at the One Za’abeel urban resort in a black satin dress by Giambattista Valli.

The luxury hotel is located in the United Arab Emirates, which has strict laws against homosexuality, with consensual same-sex sexual activity punishable by imprisonment.

‘Her performance will colluded with the regime’s homophobia, misogyny and generalised abuse of human rights — that’s not the kind of thing Jennifer Lopez supports. She shouldn’t be going.’

On her Instagram Stories, Jennifer posted a clip from the star-studded shindig, where she wowed onstage in a dazzling purple jumpsuit and performed alongside Mark Ronson for a crowd included Emma Raducanu, Naomi Campbell, Vanessa Hudgens and Idris Elba.

He went on to claim that the Dubai regime is ‘using her to project a more liberal image.’

‘It’s a cynical exercise and it’s shameful that she is going along with it.’

She was joined by other such lumiinaries as Jessica Debruyne, boxer Ramla Ali, Georgia Coleridge, and Chanel Ayan. 

Following their appearance on the red carpet, celebrities congregated at a private event in the sky hosted at The Link, Dubai’s recently established lifestyle destination suspended 100 meters above ground.skyline. 

The backlash doesn’t appear to line up with JLo’s reputation as a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. 

In 2019, when administrators prohibited gay teen Nat Werth from delivering a valedictorian speech at his graduation upon learning he intended to address his sexuality, she extended an invitation for him to attend one of her shows in Milwaukee. 

In 2014, she was honored with the Vanguard Award by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for her dedicated advocacy of gay rights. 

That same year, she expressed her support in a tweet that celebrated the legalization of gay marriage.

‘Congratulations England and Wales. Gay marriage is legal today,’ she wrote.

This isn’t the first time Jennifer has performed in Dubai.

Back in March 2024, the songstress held an epic concert there during the Dubai World Cup  at the Meydan Racecourse.

‘Thank you Dubai for an amazing night #Meydan #DWC14,’ she tweeted after the show.

How You Should Host The Perfect Picnic

  • April 16, 2024
A picnic it’s relaxed, casual, and fun, you can sit around so everyone gets the chance to chat with everyone, something I don’t like about sitting down at a long table for a meal. I always end up leaving a long table group meal feeling like I’ve barely seen anyone down one end of the table. With a picnic you can spread out or sit tight together, facing one another, you can slip off your shoes and relax. Hopefully, it’s nice and quiet at the park too so you can hear everyone.

  • November 3, 2024

George as we all call him here bought it for his birthday in London and came to my house when I asked him to visit to my cottage in Yorkshire not too far from the Hills. He let me drive it and I saw it in action on a rainy day without no traffic in December. George buying this two-door, which he now left in my house garage and I use it whenever I want felt special.
