Jennifer Lopez’s Foot Injury Fiasco

As previously reported by the Gossip Girls, Jennifer Lopez pulled out of her “Project Runway” guest judging duties at the last minute due to a foot injury. But, interestingly enough, she was fit and fine to participate in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon just two days later.

And the whole ordeal has the folks over at PR calling foul. According to a source, host Heidi Klum was furious at J. Lo’s failure to show up for the show’s season finale. “Heidi went from one big-name judge for the finale to none. It was embarrassing, especially the excuse that (Lopez) was hurt.”

An insider revealed that perhaps Lopez’s actions were a retaliation against “Project Runway” producers The Weinstein Company after they shunned her for a movie role. “Jennifer was hoping for a part in an upcoming Weinstein film, and she was told the day before (the ‘Project Runway’ show) that she wasn’t getting it/ She was angry, so she pulled out.”

But Jennifer’s people say that isn’t the case at all. “(Lopez) pulled out (of “Runway") because she had an injury and had to have it rehabbed so she could compete (in the triathlon). (Lopez) has no issues with Harvey (Weinstein).”
