Jennifer Lopez's arrest while dating Sean 'P Diddy' Combs in the late '90s remains one of the most talked-about incidents from that period in her life. The incident occurred on December 27, 1999, when Lopez and Combs were involved in a high-profile nightclub shooting in New York City.
The couple, who were at Club New York in Manhattan, became embroiled in an altercation that escalated into gunfire. Three people were injured during the chaotic scene. Following the shooting, police pursued a vehicle carrying Lopez, Combs, and his bodyguard. When they were pulled over, authorities discovered a stolen gun in the vehicle. Both Lopez and Combs were arrested and taken into custody.
Lopez was initially charged with criminal possession of a weapon, but the charges were later dropped as it was determined she had no involvement with the firearm or the shooting. Combs, however, faced a highly publicized trial for gun possession and bribery, but was acquitted of all charges in 2001.
The incident made headlines around the world, further propelling Lopez into the spotlight at the time. Though the couple’s relationship ended shortly after the trial, the incident remains a significant moment in both Lopez's personal life and public image, as it tested her resilience and ability to navigate media scrutiny while building her career.
