The veteran actress recalled the scene in "Monster-in-Law" in which her colleague slaps her after a verbal fight before the wedding that she focuses on on the tape. Although the blow was not so hard, JLo was wearing a diamond ring that caused Fonda's injury that she still awaits an apology.
In 2005, Jane Fonda made her triumphant return to the cinema with the comedy Monster-in-Law (after fifteen years away from the big screen), in which she played a famous television host who must face the worst: her only son introduces his girlfriend and fiancée.
Although he feigns happiness, the truth is that he does not believe that the young woman is the right one for him and that is where hell begins for one and the other, in the search to retain the attention of the young doctor who does not seem to understand what is happening to him. around.
18 years after its premiere, the veteran actress recalled a scene in which she had to fight Jennifer Lopez, in the shoes of the future daughter-in-law, and that she ended in the worst way.
“The first thing I think of when talking about Monster-in-Law is the slapping scene. I slapped her and she slapped me, Jennifer had a huge diamond ring. In one of those slaps, she cut me across the eyebrow and never apologized," she revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Fonda's statement is far from that of JLo, who, in 2019, expressed about that same scene: "I was so scared of hitting Jane Fonda in the face or hurting her in any way. And she was like: 'Give me. No don't worry.' I just remember that afterward, Jane had a blood blister on her eyebrow. I was mortified... I was like, 'Oh my God! I'm so sorry!'"
Although rumors of a bad relationship between the two always flew over, the truth is that both Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda have had a cordial relationship for years and remember Monster-in-Law with the greatest affection, highlighting the Robert Luketic film as one of the most hilarious of his entire career.
