The superstar singer and actress added that she is just beginning to have conversations with her teenage children about how other people treat them.

“When they walk into a room, people think that,” Lopez said. “They don’t see them for who they are and I think that must be very difficult for them, so I’d like to be able to protect them from that.”

Lopez also noted that while everyone is subject to bullying, “being judged by people you don’t even know in a way that I think is really hard for them to grow up and be themselves. They know there’s a lens on them and that’s hard”.

He said, “I did it to them.” “As mothers, we feel guilty for what we have done and given their lives.”

“The Mother” is available on Netflix.
