She rarely does live shows, so when Jennifer Lopez signed on to perform at the Cratos Premium Hotel in Cyprus, it was a big deal.
But what’s an even bigger deal is that she’s now in danger of being sued for $40 million by the hotel for pulling out of the July 24th gig.
J. Lo is said to have pulled the plug because of the political tensions on the island of Cyprus due to the Turkish occupation, and her desire to stay out of it all.
Her rep said, “Jennifer would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse."
Murat Bozoglu, the CEO of Cratos Premium, declared, "The contract has not been terminated. If she does not show up for the concert, we will begin a procedure in the courts to claim 35-40 million dollars in damages. ... The cancellation ... is not covered by any clause in the contract she signed with us."
And Lopez wrote on her website, "This whole situation makes me so sad. The statement that was issued by my representatives was done without my knowledge or consent. It is my personal policy not to comment on political issues between countries. I love my fans all over the world. I want to sincerely apologize if anyone was hurt or offended in any way. Again, I am truly sorry."
