SHOW MUST GO ON

J.Lo Reveals Facial Injury She Got During Awards Show Rehearsals

The singer said she needed stitches and “a whole lotta ice” after the incident.

Jennifer Lopez has revealed she had to get stitches after she injured her face during rehearsals for the upcoming American Music Awards. “So this happened…” Lopez, 55, wrote in her Instagram Stories over a photo of herself icing the right side of her face. Another picture showed swelling and bruising on the right side of her nose and midface, along with a cut on the upper part of her nose. “During @amas rehearsals,” she wrote. A third picture showed her standing beside Dr. Jason B. Diamond, a Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon. “Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond,” she wrote. “A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.” Lopez, who has won three AMAs, is hosting the show for the second time in Las Vegas in less than two weeks. She previously hosted in 2015 and said she had loved the show since she was a kid. Growing up, AMA artists like Whitney Houston, Michael and Janet Jackson, Madonna, and Prince were her heroes, she said.
