Jennifer Lopez went into full-circle gratitude mode while accepting the Generation Award on Sunday’s telecast at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The multi-hyphenate star — a globally recognized singer, actor, producer, dancer, designer and beauty mogul — was also sure to thank those who lied to her and those who broke her heart. She said they all made her grow into the superstar she’s become.
“Since you cannot create truth unless you really lived it, I have a different kind of list of thank-yous tonight,” said Lopez, 52, onstage at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. “I want to thank all the people who gave me this life. I want to thank the people who gave me joy and the ones who broke my heart. The ones who were true and the ones who lied to me.”
