00:00Jennifer Lopez is facing massive internet backlash right now,
00:03and it's all because she tried to pull off the ultimate proud mom flex.
00:08Here's what happened.
00:09J.Lowe casually dropped in an interview that her twins got accepted into all five colleges they applied to.
00:16Awesome, right?
00:17But then, she added that both of them were awarded scholarships.
00:21And the internet immediately lost its mind.
00:24Why?
00:24Because Jennifer Lopez is worth an estimated $400 million.
00:30People are furious, asking why a multi-millionaire's kids are taking scholarship money
00:35that could have gone to students who actually need financial aid to survive.
00:39But wait, there is another side to this story.
00:43J.Lowe defended her kids, explaining that they both have ADHD,
00:47had to learn differently, and worked incredibly hard to hit their goals.
00:51These weren't need-based grants.
00:53They were likely merit scholarships automatically given by the universities for their grades.
00:58Still, this has sparked a massive debate about the entire college system.
01:04Critics say nepotism babies get free rides,
01:07while regular kids are drowning in student debt just to get a degree.
01:12Others argue that if the kids earn the grades,
01:14they earn the reward, regardless of who their mom is.
01:17Neither of the twins have confirmed if they're actually keeping the money,
01:21but the internet is totally divided.
01:24So, I gotta ask you,
01:26if you worked hard and earned a scholarship,
01:28is it fair to take it if your parents are filthy rich?
01:31Let me know in the comments.
