What did Meghan McCain say about Jennifer Lopez? Andy Cohen comes out in support of singer amid mean online criticism

Jennifer Lopez recently appeared for an interview on Andy Cohen's podcast Daddy Diaries on June 21, 2024. The Riverdale star was spotted supporting Lopez after Meghan McCain made a few negative comments about the singer in an episode of the Citizen McCain podcast.

Meghan's comments came after she shared her experience with Lopez on The View. McCain, who was a former co-host said:

"She just is a deeply unpleasant person. She had the biggest entourage I've ever seen [when she was on The View]. More than Kim Kardashian and the president. I just don't really understand why it was needed."

Meanwhile, Cohen expressed his confusion on the criticism of the Out of Sight star on social media and referred to a news piece by The Hollywood Reporter, which described Lopez as "unlikeable." He responded to the same by saying:

"I don't think that's correct."

Andy Cohen also spoke up on a claim made by a friend stating that Jennifer Lopez has disappointed a lot of people by boasting about her several guest appearances on Watch What Happens Live. Cohen additionally criticized the fact that people were unhappy with Lopez for "doing too much". He stated:

"No drama. [She] wasn't late, wasn't anything. [She] showed up, was game, did the show. I mean, just like super game."

The Alpha House star appreciated Lopez's presence on the show, saying that he is comfortable to have any kind of conversation with her.
