Stassi Schroeder Defends Jennifer Lopez Against Hate, Calls for Ben Affleck to Smile More

Reality TV star Stassi Schroeder is standing up for Jennifer Lopez amid criticism and has some advice for Ben Affleck. During a recent podcast episode, Schroeder expressed her frustration with the ongoing scrutiny that Lopez and Affleck face, particularly highlighting the unnecessary negativity aimed at Lopez.

"I don’t get the J.Lo hate. She’s an icon," Schroeder stated. "People act like she's done something wrong just by being successful and happy."

Schroeder also chimed in on the frequent public discussions about Affleck’s seemingly moody demeanor, often caught by paparazzi. “Ben Affleck needs to smile more,” she said. “He’s married to J.Lo for crying out loud! Life can’t be that bad.”

Known for her candid takes on pop culture, Schroeder’s comments reflect the pressures faced by high-profile couples like Lopez and Affleck, who have been a tabloid staple since rekindling their relationship. While social media can often magnify public perception, Schroeder’s message is clear: let people live their lives, and maybe, smile a little more along the way.

With Schroeder’s support, it’s a reminder that even celebrities deserve a break from the constant commentary—and maybe a little positivity, too.
