Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez might or might not be the perfect example of great friendship. Kim Kardashian has done remarkably well for herself. She rubs shoulders with the most affluent in society, including billionaires, artists, actors, and actresses; you name it. But at the top of her list, Kim named the Latin pop icon Jennifer Lopez as one of her favorites.

Their friendship has been under public scrutiny for ages as they both praise each other on various platforms. Does Kim genuinely love Lopez as she flaunts their pictures and videos together on social media? Perhaps Kim’s praise and love for Jennifer Lopez don’t paint the reality of their relationship.

Rumors have suggested that former best friends Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez might be on the outs.

Kim Kardashian ‘Praised’ Jennifer Lopez After Meeting Her

In the interview on Pretty Big Deal with Ashley Graham, Kim Kardashian talked about her obsession with Jennifer Lopez. The reality TV star began by stating that sometimes she doesn’t believe she finally met Jennifer Lopez and are now close friends.

On one occasion, when she was over at Khloé Kardashian’s, she texted Lopez and asked if she could pass by and change her clothes at her place. Kim sometimes doesn’t believe she was able to meet her idol and become more than just acquaintances.

She continued to praise Lopez, “She just honestly in person, no makeup on, she looks so young and so beautiful.” Kim added that she always thought Jennifer’s standards in the fashion and entertainment industry were unattainable.

She looked up to Lopez before diving into the beauty and fashion industry. Kim could go on and on about Jennifer’s looks and how she has strived to copy her style. Ashley said she resonated with Kim’s thoughts and feelings about Lopez, because, in her eyes, Kim is easily her idol. But is that all that Kim admires from her idol? Fans were not elated to hear this.

Having been friends for several years, Lopez has helped Kim grow business-wise. The actress posted a picture of herself in a SKIMS outfit to help move Kim’s products. Jeniffer Lopez posted a make-up-free photo, which was unusual. Whose idea was it to go make-up-free when selling new products?

It’s highly unlikely that Lopez was getting paid to advertise the SKIMS outfits. Could it be that she didn’t put much effort into the look? Or was it Kim’s idea for Lopez to post make-up-free photos?

The ‘Sex and the City’ alum didn’t hold back when asked about her impression of Kardashian after modeling for her brand SKIMS.

Fans Thought Kim’s “Compliments” Lacked Depth

Kim has faced backlash from fans numerous times for the questionable decisions she made. Kim Kardashian once faced backlash for using her daughter, North, for profit. Following the interview with Ashley Graham, fans had a few things to get off their chest.

One disappointed fan said that she’s always surprised at how Kim is superficial. The fan thought Kim’s compliment on Lopez looking young without her make-up wasn’t genuine, and perhaps there would be better things to say about her idol.

Another fan left a sarcastic remark, “Of course, because that’s the real purpose of life to look beautiful without makeup. God, we’re so doomed.”

Another added, “Man, that was deep as a puddle.”

Others couldn’t help but state that loving an idol simply because she looks beautiful is nothing but shallow. They were quick to point out that idols possess a lot more than just good looks without makeup. Some said it would have been more understandable if Kim said she loved Lopez for her achievements and work in the entertainment industry.

Some fans think that the love or like that Kim has for Lopez isn’t genuine. Is it right to love someone just for their looks and fame? The superficial aspect of Kim’s admiration for Lopez didn’t sit right with the latter’s fans.

Most of the comments would wish that Kim could have drawn a lot more inspiration from Lopez. They wished the reality TV star could have looked up to Lopez for better things, such as brilliance and resilience in a volatile industry that has earned her an enormous net worth (Jennifer has said she’s a “scarce asset”).

The comments were riddled with disappointment, mostly expressing how Kim doesn’t love Lopez genuinely.

Kim Kardashian Idolized Jennifer Lopez For A Long Time

The reality TV star Kim has repeatedly revealed her love and admiration for the actress. On Facebook, Kim posted a picture of herself in a beaded, see-through gown and Lopez, in a mermaid silhouette dress, standing side by side. She wrote the caption, “With my idol @Jlo.”

Flashback to the Second Act movie premier, which starred Jeniffer Lopez, Kim made yet another public announcement about her idol. Lopez invited Kim to an exclusive movie night alongside Sia.

Kim was elated and posted Instagram stories of herself and her idol having fun. She said that she couldn’t have imagined that at one point in her life, she would be invited by her idol to a movie night and dinner at the star’s house. It was like a dream come true for her.

Jennifer Lopez believes this is the real reason she is worth such a ludicrous amount of money.

The reality TV star praised Lopez for being her fashion inspiration. Kim said that she looked up to Lopez for the latest fashion trends and did everything she could to match her style. True to her words, Lopez has been in the spotlight for years and even broke the internet with her green Versace dress during the Grammy Awards.

Having been seen together on multiple occasions, it’s safe to say that Kim extended her admiration to become friends with her idol, Jennifer Lopez — even if fans are right and the ‘admiration’ is only skin-deep.
