Jennifer Lopez revealed she was warned off of doing « American Idol » by her advisers, but she decided to do it anyway and saw a career resurgence.
Jennifer Lopez doesn’t consider herself a risk-taker, but someone who is confident in her decisions.
In her interview with Nikki Glaser in Interview magazine, Lopez revealed that she was warned by her team that being a judge on « American Idol » would kill her movie career.
« I’d done all these big movies and made these albums and now they’re asking me to do reality TV », Lopez said. « I’ve had kids and I haven’t worked for a couple of years. ‘American Idol’ was a big show at the time. »
She said her decision-making process « really comes down to, what do I think I can bring to something? »
But « all of my advisers were like, ‘Don’t do this, you’re going to be reduced to just a reality star.’ »
Lopez served as a judge a total of five seasons on the show, first in 2011 for the show’s 10th season, replacing Simon Cowell.
