Recent reports indicate that Lopez is struggling to cope with the emotional fallout of the split. Friends have expressed concern as she has reportedly turned to alcohol for comfort, regularly mixing strong cocktails. “The fact she needed booze in her belly before her latest meeting with Ben kind of says it all. She appears to be self-medicating and unable to handle the raw reality of this divorce without some type of pick-me-up,” a source revealed to Radar Online. The source added, “JLo was not prepared for this breakup. She genuinely thought they would work through their troubles, but Ben just threw in the towel and walked. He’s left her totally wrecked.”
