She says: “Being thrown around and manhandled like that. It’s not fun.

“I was never in a relationship where I got beat up, thank God, but I’ve definitely been manhandled and hit and a couple of other unsavoury things. Rough. Disrespectful.”

She adds: “More than it’s a vulnerable place for me to be in.”

A friend replies to her: “It’s a personal journey babe, that will relate to so many women who go through abuse. You’re talking about women accepting less than they deserve.”

Among her previous relationships, J Lo, 54, was married three times and has dated a number of high profile celebrities.

However, she didn’t clarify who had mistreated her.

In the film, she continues: “There were people in my life who said ‘I love you’ and then didn’t do things that were in line with the word love.

“You have to hit rock bottom, where you’re in situations that are so uncomfortable and are so painful that you finally go, ‘I don’t want this anymore’.”
