Lopez, 45, opened up about her image in the public eye, and got candid about her struggle with overcoming a less-than-stellar reputation, reported E!Online.
"I feel like they labeled me a diva early on in my career. Unfairly, unfairly! And as people have gotten to know me over the years, they've seen that I haven't changed and I'm still the same person," she said.
Lopez, who is the current judge of 'American Idol', says the diva image of hers has just make her conscious in life.
"I think before Idol, when you're in the public eye, it's about putting your best foot forward. 'I want to put my best foot forward, I have this image. This is what I wanna do.' But with Idol, it made me realize like, I can just be human. I can be myself.
"I can by myself. And It's OK. And once people saw, 'Oh, this is the human behind the music and behind the movies that she's in, I actually like this person.' And I realize in that vulnerability, there is strength. In letting yourself be who you really are.
