Jennifer Lopez encountered a stressful situation outside her residence in Beverly Hills when a fan tried to reach out and touch her arm as she was entering her vehicle.

“Please do not treat me in that way!” she exclaimed, visibly distressed by the unanticipated touch.

Security promptly intervened, and the fan—who asserted that he merely desired a photograph—was escorted from the area. No charges were brought against him.

A source subsequently clarified that Lopez has been experiencing considerable stress and responded instinctively as a means of self-defense.
