After Jennifer Lopez was reportedly denied entry into the Chanel store in Turkey, the fashion house has allegedly issued a private apology to the singer. A source recently claimed that while the 56-year-old maintained her composure, the store realized they had made a “terrible mistake” by not letting her in. According to the insider, J.Lo hasn’t taken the incident to heart, but that doesn’t mean she will pretend it never happened.
Jennifer Lopez has no ‘hard feelings’ for Chanel, says source
Jennifer Lopez’s visit to the Chanel store in Turkey instantly caught attention. Now, the luxury fashion house is reportedly suffering the consequences of denying her entry into its establishment.
The singer was out shopping at Istanbul’s İstinye Park when she decided to drop by the French brand’s store. It was then that the security guard stopped her from entering the establishment. Although Lopez calmly moved on, the incident allegedly didn’t go down well with the senior figures in the luxury fashion house’s leadership.
According to Rob Shuter’s exclusive report, insiders are saying the incident is “deeply embarrassing” for Chanel. A source told the outlet that Lopez was “calm and gracious” throughout the interaction with the security personnel. Moreover, high-ranking individuals related to the Wertheimer family issued a private apology to the A-lister for her experience.
The insider claimed that the Chanel owners were “horrified” upon learning about the incident. The source added, “Jennifer Lopez is not just a celebrity — she’s a global brand. Turning her away wasn’t just rude. It was bad business.”
After the incident, Chanel’s staff members reportedly approached Lopez to invite her into the establishment. However, she not only declined their requests, but allegedly went on to spend “thousands of dollars” at rival fashion houses, namely Celine and Beymen.
Sources claimed that this was her way to make a point. However, the insider clarified that Lopez had “no hard feelings over the incident.” They continued, “But make no mistake — the message was received. Loud and clear.”
As of this writing, Lopez and Chanel have yet to address the matter publicly. Sources, however, told Shuter that the French fashion brand preferred giving the singer a private apology over speaking about it openly.
