Lizzo is pushing back on the notion she turned down a cameo for the new Jennifer Lopez movie … and it sounds like she would’ve come aboard if she knew about it.
Here’s the deal … J Lo revealed all the celebs who allegedly passed on roles in her recent flick “This Is Me … Now” in a Prime Video doc about the making of her new album … and Lizzo’s name came up as being “unavailable.”

However, Lizzo’s singing a different tune, literally. In a TikTok post, Lizzo claims no one told her about the movie offer. She doubles down, claiming she wasn’t asked to be in the flick.
No hard feelings from Lizzo though … she looks into the camera and tells J Lo she loves her. So, she’s not really bent out of shape — but it does raise an eyebrow, no doubt.
Remember, in the ‘Greatest Love Story Never Told’ doc, J Lo tells her love story through her eyes … but it sounds like the casting journey was full of twists and turns.
Among the celebs J Lo’s teams said passed on the flick … Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Vanessa Hudgens, Snoop Dogg, SZA, Bad Bunny and Anthony Ramos.
Most of the stars had legitimate conflicts … Taylor was doing her ‘Eras’ tour and Ariana was filming “Wicked” across the pond … but J Lo claims Khloé Kardashian backed out of a cameo at the last second.
Despite her reps saying a bunch of people passed on the project — two people so far have come forward to refute that … JC talked to a pap just yesterday and denied any knowledge, and now — Lizzo’s saying she, too, had no clue about this.
Of course, J Lo did manage to bag a couple big names … including Sofia Vergara, Jane Fonda, Keke Palmer, Post Malone and Trevor Noah.

All’s well that ends well, we suppose … but it is weird that there are two different accounts of this.
Oh well! 🤷🏽♂️
