When did the "JLo Booty" myth start and why did we allow it to continue?

She was much thicker in the Selena role and in her In Living Color days.

Like another poster mentioned this is before the days of social media.

She was a very thick Latina then she started getting mainstream and switched up her look and lost weight.

Like someone else said she was thicker in her Selena days. By the late 90s she lost that but still was shapely but in the 90s she was being compard to the likes of Callista Flockhart and Gwyneth Paltrow so JLO was looking like Buffy the Body in comparison.

The Truth
Go watch Selena and see that scene in the front yard. Then come back here and apologize
Literally in the first 8 seconds you could see what young JLo was holding



Hollywood eventually had her looking like an ordinary white chick. Even during In Living Color I think she said she was embarrassed by her body and would wear baggy shyt because of it

Who really had ass like that back then

Angela Bassett and Tichina Arnold are among the best I’ve seen from that era

Angela wasn't even holding like that back in the day either:



In her old age her joint got big.

Asses have evolved in the last 20 years. Plus we used to seeing plastic enhanced booty with lipo waistlines. Women are also heavier every year. For the late 90s J-Lo with Pdiddy had ass.

Plus lets be honest, she's one of the first non black women that had this kind of booty in mainstream America. Dominican girls that i grew up with had donks, but they didnt have any Latinas with ass except J-Lo and Selena in media.

True, but in the late 90s, the likes of Ma$e, Cam'ron, and Black Rob were gassing up Latina Women like the best thing since sliced bread. That was when Hip Hop gotten real money and started wanting non-black women with fat asses from Hollywood. J Lo fit that prototype PERFECTLY......

It was self hate back then that made that J Lo stigma stick. A white looking Latina with a bubble butt and a "Spicy" mouth. A c00n brehs best dream.
