“She disappeared just as all the bad press started,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com.
Indeed, news broke that Lopez had split from her backup dancer boy toy Casper Smart the day of the concert. (As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, the former pair secretly broke up prior to reports Smart hooked up with at least two transsexual models. The 27-year-old says there is “no truth” to the claims.
Unfortunately, the production— which featured international soca artists David Rudder, Machel Montano and Tizzy— seemed to suffer without Lopez’s A-list presence.
