Jennifer Lopez: "I Had a Nervous Breakdown"

The new mom opens up about her breakdown before babies and her thoughts on Scientology

Multihyphenate Jennifer Lopez recently spoke on a wide range of topics during a very candid interview that she ultimately seems to have regretted—the Q&A was originally done for a major fashion magazine that quashed the story at Jenny's request.

But now it has surfaced online at the Daily Beast, and here are some of the highlights that really caught our attention!

• On having a breakdown while shooting the 2002 film Enough: "There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, 'I don't want to move. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything'...Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown."

• As for her thoughts on Scientology, whose famous members include pals Tom Cruise and Leah Remini...

"I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices," she says. Although she herself is not a follower, she adds, "I wouldn't have a problem saying [I was] because I know what it is. I have no problems with it."

In fact, Lopez would consider sending her twins, Emme and Max, to a Scientology school because she knows "the techonologies that they have are very helpful."

• Regarding the decision to pose with her kids on the cover of People magazine for a reported $6 million: "I think one of the reasons the price went so high is that we didn't want to do it for so long...We weren't into it. I was like, 'No, I don't really want to. No. No way.' But then it got to the point that you go, 'Well, now you're being stupid with these offers.' I thought, I can set them up. I can put this away just for them. We gave a little bit and I saved the rest for them."
