For many years, the Internet has been going on the Internet that the American singer and actress insured her fifth point for a tidy sum. At the same time, the price range varies from $ 1 million to € 1 billion. We checked if such messages have the foundation.

In social networks, for example on VKontakte, you can find many options for history: some kind of public writethat Lopez insured their buttocks for $ 27 million, the Super.ru site community speaks O $ 300 million, and somewhere Report On the insurance of the singer’s priests at $ 800 million. The Kultura 2000s group in 2020 I wrotethat, according to rumors, the whole body of Lopez is insured for an amount of € 1 billion, but two years later in the same place Reported On the insurance "in the amount of at least a billion bucks." Similar publications at tens of thousands of views receive hundreds, and sometimes thousands of likes.

Posts about the insurance of the buttocks and the body of the singer as a whole are found in Telegram (examples here And here), Twitter, Livejournal (for example, here is the most “cheap” version of only $ 1 million), on “Picabu", V articles on sites About fashion and celebrities, as well as in news media, among which "Komsomolskaya Truth","Moscow 24","Express Gazeta" And "Fifth channel".

To begin with, in English, rumors about the insurance of the fifth point of Lopez have been going on for more than a decade. At the same time, the “tested” was not able to find any documents proving the fact of insurance of the buttocks of the singer. It can be rightly assumed that for all these years, no journalists managed to access the agreements between Lopez and any insurance company, and the company's employees did not sell data and did not merge anything to the network. And how did Jay Lo react to these rumors?

For example, in October 2007 in connection with the release of the album Brave And the release of the film "Singer"El Cantante) on DVD Lopez answered To the questions of fans specifically for the publication of Time. A girl from New York asked: “True or a lie: have you once insured your buttocks for $ 1 billion?” Jay got laughed and replied: “This is a kind of city legend. She somehow went from London. Obviously, such a [contract] does not exist. ”

In the spring of 2010 Lopez Dal An interview with Marie Claire magazine, in which she was asked whether there were reports of the insurance of her priests to millions of dollars. The publication’s website indicates that Diva again answered with a laugh: “No! Although this story seemed funny to me. In fact, we traced her [origin], and it was a rumor that appeared in London. ”

A year later, in June 2011, Lopez I became guest of the British comedy show "Alan Carr: Boltun"(Alan Carr: Chatty Man), where the presenter asked the singer if rumors about the insurance of her fifth point were faithful. Jay La called this story an old legend, and Carr jokingly took responsibility for its creation. Between the host and the guest took place Such a dialogue:

- This is a city myth that you insured your ass?
- Yes.
- For $ 27 million? This is true?
- The myth was about a billion dollars.
- Billion?!
- Yes, it's just funny. He is many years old, and I think he was born in the UK.
“As if we could come up with such a scandalous lie!” [After a pause.] It was me.
- admitted!

A few years later, in March 2016, Lopez Accepted Participation in Carpool Karaoke - the transfer segment "Very later show with James Corden"(The Late Late Show with James Corden), in which the host invites famous musicians to sing their songs together during a trip in a car. Before the composition of the Lopez about the priest (Booty) between the singer and Corden took place Such a dialogue in which she again refuted rumors:

-There is something that I read about, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. Have you insured your ass for a million dollars?
- No!
- No?
- No! I don’t even ... this does not happen.
- How can you insure your ass for a million dollars?
- I think that in your homeland (cord From England. - approx. Ed.) There is a place where you can insure certain things, such as parts of your body, seriously. I think it exists. I heard about this. But I think here (transmission Remove in the USA. - approx. Ed.) This is not.
- Because it would be strange to insure your ass. No, I understand if you are a pianist and insure your hands. But you did not insure your ass?
- No.
- And I wanted to ask why this is needed. Is this in case you sit on something sharp?
- What will happen to her? Will she disappear? Does someone steal her? In what case do you need to insure?
- Well, the CBS channel insured my ass, but not for me, but for the audience - in case people see it and will be injured.

It was “verified” that the roots of rumors about the insurance of Lopez are really growing from the UK. So, on December 5, 1999 on the website of the American tabloid New York Post I went out Note under the heading "Jennifer Lopez - Baby for $ 1 billion." The material with reference to the British tabloid The Sun reported that the singer insured her body for a “breathtaking sum” of $ 1 billion, supposedly “becoming the most expensive star on earth”: “And taking into account the fact that Jennifer weighs only 120 pounds (about 54 kg), stagnant $ 8.25 million per pound!”

If you believe The Sun, whose head office located In London, Jay Lo issued a policy in the New York company Manhattan Insurance. At the same time, the British edition referred to an anonymous “source close to Lopez”: “Now she is the sexiest woman in show business. Her appearance is her condition. She wants to be sure that if something goes wrong, she will be well protected. She constantly travels around the world and makes a lot of tricks in her films, she understands very well that something can go wrong. At least now she has this agreement in case an accident happens to her. It is just for spiritual peace of mind, and she is very glad that she signed an agreement. ” 

A couple of days later, December 7, 1999, on the BBC website appeared A refutation that Lopez insured her body to a billion dollars. They clarified that the tabloid reported the following rates for different parts of the body: the chest supposedly insured $ 200 million, legs and ass - $ 300 million, and hair - $ 50 million. According to BBC, this rumor made fun of the singer: “I don’t know where they got it from. When I heard this story, it seemed very funny to me. ” At the same time, Lopez joked that the idea itself sounds tempting: “I thought: why not? What if something happens to me? " And to the question of whether the singer is the most expensive woman on the planet, her agent replied: "At present, we cannot confirm or refute this information."

At the same time, the BBC reminded that the insurance of celebrity bodies was not something new for 1999: “In 1940, Betty Grael insured her legs for $ 1 million, and Dolly Parton’s chest was insured by $ 600,000.” The fact that Country-player Parton insured both her breasts by $ 300,000 each, in 2010 They wrote And in Time. However, on the air in 2022 it asked To arrange all points over I and answer whether rumors are true about insurance of parts of her body. Parton said: “This is not true. Many years ago, either Betty Grabl or one of the other great stars was famous for her feet. And once then I said: "Maybe I should insure my breasts, since I became famous for them?" But this is just a joke, I didn’t do that ... By the way, you can make a new breast, but new legs will not work. ”

The Sun tabloid is known for its loud sensations, which are often based on the words of anonymous sources. At the same time, the British edition Caught In the publication of inaccurate information, they accused of applying illegal data collection methods. The incorrect messages The Sun disassembled and “verified” among them:

1. Sputnik V vaccine was created on the basis of ASTRAZENECA formula stolen by spies;
2. In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon;
3. The story of an ancient shark up to 512 years old;
4. Eiffel Tower is forbidden to take pictures at night;
5. Hitler had Jewish roots.

Thus, the rumor about the insurance of buttocks Lopez is based only on the words of an anonymous source and first appeared in the publication, which was repeatedly convicted of inventing the news. At the same time, the singer herself consistently refutes this myth for almost 20 years, which during this time managed to modify many times. For example, a version of $ 27 million Born Only in the middle of the zero.
