Lopez reflects on the sexist coverage she endured in the late '90s and early aughts, specifically about her backside. Television hosts joked about the singer's butt and she regularly had to field questions about her body. One cringe-worthy interview with Billy Bush is shown.

"How do you feel about your butt?" Bush asked in 2002.
"Are you kidding me? You did not just ask me that," a shocked Lopez replied.
"I did," Bush added.

In Halftime, Lopez says she was always proud of her physique but admits the constant scrutiny got to her at times.
"I grew up around women with curves, so it was nothing ever I was ashamed of," she explains.
But Lopez's backside was a topic everywhere from South Park to the MTV Video Music Awards. When she wore that infamous green Versace dress in 2000, attention on her derrière only intensified.
"It was hard when you think people think you're a joke, like you're a punchline," she admits. "But I wound up affecting things in a way that I never intended to affect them."
