Everyone thought she took so long deciding whether or not to come back to American Idol because she was trying to get producers to pump up her pay.
But apparently, there was another issue at hand — her well being.
In a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez explained:
I got a little bit tired at the end with everything going on in my life at the time, [but Idol was] one of the best things I’ve ever been involved with.
Her divorce from Marc Anthony came just two months after the season’s end, so yeah, we can only imagine!
Glad she’s coming back though! She, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler are a dream team!
