July 1, 2003 -- THE split between Jennifer Lopez and her former manager Benny
Medina has left a bitter aftertaste. Lopez is said to be fuming that Medina,
who's widely credited with making her career, is still getting a percentage of
her income. "Benny always did Jennifer's contracts and, as every manager does,
got a percentage of the profits," said an insider. Medina is said to be reaping
up to 20 percent of Lopez's take, including her film fees and revenue from her
Glow fragrance and J.Lo clothing line. "Jennifer is furious," the source said.
"She has been calling Benny every day, saying she won't pay him one more dime.
But everything is legal and above board. Benny told her if she stopped paying
him he will sue her." Insiders speculate that Lopez will end up giving Medina a
hefty $25 million check to buy him out. Medina declined comment. Barry Hirsch,
Lopez's lawyer, said: "These claims and statements are both generally and
specifically false." A source close to Lopez said: "Jennifer is aware that some
so-called friend of Benny's is seeking to sling mud in her direction. She will
not stoop to that level."
