According to the FCC, J. Lo & Shakira’s Halftime Performance Got Over 1,300 Complaints

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira shook things up during the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, and apparently shook up some households. According to the FCC, their performance garnered 1,312 complaints.

The duo showed moves from their culture, entertained, and made statements. While you may think most of the complaints would be about the subtle political statements, they mainly are about the visual performance.

“Really? An R Rated halftime show? I chose to not go see the R rated movie Hustler but did not expect to see so much nastiness on TV. To bend over and show that thin piece if fabric between her butt cheeks crossed the line. It wasn’t a concert, it was a football game being broadcast into my home by a local station by the airwaves be for families to watch together. How rude and obscene. It wasn’t the beach or a resort, it was my living room!”

From the outfits, to the dances, to just them being Latina woman; people were going to be mad regardless. While this number seems like a lot, it’s still far less than the number of complaints Janet Jackson got, which resulted in years of unfair treatment. Complaints came from all over, even some insinuating that the performance was counterproductive to the #MeToo movement, and only adds to sex trafficking.

“This is not appropriate family entertainment as the Super Bowl advertises. It was appalling! And then having young girls join the spectacle,” a Kentucky viewer said. “No wonder there is sex trafficking when you call this family entertainment. And where’s the Me Too women? Do you not see the hypocrisy?”

Despite what people may think, good or bad, both Lopez and Shakira are happy and proud of their performance. You can read more complaints here (if you want to).
