J. Lo, your love does cost a thing. Last week the Human Rights Foundation put out a study asserting that the pop star and actress had made over $10 million singing for “crooks and dictators from Eastern Europe and Russia.”
The human rights group looked into the singer’s past after she sang at dictator Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov’s birthday party in late June. Turns out, Lopez has a history of appearing at such events. Those performances include corrupt Uzbek industrialist Azam Aslanov’s son’s wedding, where Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov was a guest. She also traveled to Belarus, the only dictatorship in Europe to perform a leg of her world tour and was booked by the dictatorship of Azerbaijan.
“Performers are frequently blinded by greed and they willfully sidestep reality and become part of the public relations machinery of the world’s worst people,” said HRF president Thor Halvorssen. “They should be disqualified from having any moral standing to opine about matters involving human rights or business ethics,” Halvorssen concluded.
