Jennifer Lopez is just plain nuts!?

Jennifer Lopez opens up about motherhood, Scientology, and a “nervous breakdown” that she’s never publicly discussed.
Newly minted triathlete Jennifer Lopez has two new feature films in the works, a Disney ’tween series, a greatest hits album, and a globe-trotting fall schedule.
In a Beast exclusive, Kevin Sessums offers a snapshot of Lopez in a more contemplative mood this summer, four months after the birth of twins Max David and Emme Guadalupe.
When Kevin Sessums interviewed Lopez, who’s approaching 40, at the Long Island estate she shares with husband Marc Anthony, she looked as exhausted as any new mom: She’d caught a bug from her daughter and was feeling ill. But, ever the trouper, she agreed to go through with the interview anyway, opening up about Scientology (“the technologies that they have are very helpful”), breast-feeding (she didn’t), and a “nervous breakdown,” as she calls it, that she’s never publicly discussed. The interview was originally done for a major fashion magazine, which removed Sessums from the story after Lopez regretted some of her comments and asked that the story not be published.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about motherhood, Scientology, and a “nervous breakdown” that she’s never publicly discussed
“Don’t blow the horn,” I tell my driver as we approach the gates. “I’m sure we’re being watched. A guard will appear.”

Sure enough, the ornate iron gates swing open and a large Latin guard speeds toward us on a Segway Human Transporter, his ear glued to a walkie-talkie.

“I’m here to see Miss Lopez,” I inform him as glares at me through the window.

We are led through a canopy of beech trees and oaks on the immaculately manicured grounds of the Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez estate on the North Shore of Long Island –the same rolling acreage where F. Scott Fitzgerald set The Great Gatsby.

Jennifer Lopez suffered a nervous breakdown after working too hard. The singer-and-actress, who has two children with husband Marc Anthony, was working on movie “Enough” in 2002 when she “froze” and realized she had to slow down.

She told website The Daily Beast: “There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie ‘Enough.’”

“I kept saying, ‘I’m not weak. I’m not weak.’ It’s funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn’t want people to think I was falling apart.”

Jennifer Lopez just admitted in a very revealing interview that she suffered ‘a kind of nervous breakdown’ seven years ago. It was just before she married her second husband, dancer/choreographer Cris Judd. Blaming overwork and stress, she refused medication, choosing to rest until she felt better.

She told website The Daily Beast that she ‘froze’ while filming Enough in 2001:

‘I was like - I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything. I had a nervous breakdown. There were no signs leading up to it. You really don’t know what’s happening at first. I was going, what’s going on? It’s funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn’t want people to think I was falling apart.’

The conversation turns to Scientology. “I know a lot of your friends are Scientologists,” I say. “Your father has been a Scientologist for about 20 years …”
“More than that now,” she says.
“Scientologists don’t believe in shrinks. Would you ever call on Scientology if you were having those problems again?” I ask.
“I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices. I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff. It’s very helpful. So in a sense, yeah, you do call on it.”
“Do you consider yourself a Scientologist?”
“No.”
“If you were, would you be open about it?”
“Yeah. I wouldn’t have a problem saying it because I know what it is. I have no problems with it and it really actually bothers me that people have such a negative feeling towards it.”
“That it is too exotic? Too cultish?”
“Just negative feelings.”
“Would you consider schooling Emme and Max in a Scientology school?” I ask.
“Yeah. I wouldn’t mind. Not at all. Because I know that the technologies that they have are very helpful… It’s all about communication. That’s the thing I really don’t like about talking about this. I do know so many great people who do do it, who choose it as a lifestyle and really follow it and it is their religion…I just wish that people wouldn’t judge it without knowing what it is.”
