The star did not identify any of her exes, but got emotional when recalling the past incidents.

“You have to hit rock bottom where you’re in situations so uncomfortable and so painful that you finally go, ‘I don’t want this anymore,'" J Lo explained in The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

The Waiting For Tonight singer did not name names, but revealed it was harder to escape the abusive situation than she thought.

J Lo recalled a therapist asking how she’d treat an abusive situation if it were happening to her daughter.

“It was so clear. I’d tell her get the f--- out of here and never look back, but for me, it was so clouded and complicated,” she told the cameras. “It was like looking through fog.”

J Lo later cleared up that she wasn't "beat up" by any of her exes — although, she admitted to being "manhandled" when asked about filming a particular dance routine scene, which suggested domestic violence in a toxic relationship.

“Being thrown around and manhandled like that is not fun. I mean, I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God,” she said while appearing emotional, “but I’ve definitely been manhandled and a couple of other unsavory things... rough... disrespectful.”
