As a fan who’s followed the rollercoaster ride of celebrity relationships for as long as I can remember, I must say that Joe Rogan‘s latest take on high-profile divorces and public fascination with fame resonated with me deeply. His observation about people’s envy towards celebrities and their lifestyles, and the subsequent joy they find in seeing them face challenges, rings all too true.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship has been making news for most of the last year, with their marital status being uncertain for quite some time. However, in August, it was revealed that Lopez had filed for divorce, ending their two-year marriage. Since then, various individuals – media experts and casual commenters alike – have expressed their opinions on the matter. The latest to do so is Joe Rogan, who offered a critique of JLo while also providing insights about high-profile divorces, arrests, and other related topics that resonated with many.
In a recent episode of his show, Joe Rogan delved into the public’s intrigue with celebrity fame, focusing particularly on reactions to stars facing tough times. During this discussion (available on YouTube), he and guest Josh Dubin explored this subject, with Rogan touching upon divorce as a topic. The outspoken podcaster offered his views on why he thinks people find such stories captivating, even going so far as to refer to Jennifer Lopez, famous for her song “On the Floor”.
It’s quite captivating when individuals continue to marry and divorce. Seems like every potential partner for JLo should consider, “Is this really going to last?” …Well, good luck finding a diva! Maintaining that requires a great deal of effort.

The media figure hinted at JLo’s history of multiple marriages in his previous statements. Prior to getting remarried to Ben Affleck in 2022, the talented entertainer was previously married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony at various times throughout her life. While opinions on this media personality have been divided over the years, it’s worth noting that his observations here could be considered valid. Indeed, there is often a great deal of attention given when a celebrity goes through a divorce. Recently, Jennifer Lopez has faced criticism from trolls following her decision to file for divorce, but she has successfully defended herself against these negative comments.
Before discussing the Mother star, Joe Rogan also expressed a common observation on why some people seem to enjoy witnessing celebrities going through difficult times or criticism, using P. Diddy’s arrest as an illustration. Essentially, according to Rogan, this fascination arises because many people feel envious of the luxurious lives that celebrities lead.
People take pleasure in seeing celebrities or high-profile individuals facing difficulties because it serves as a distraction from their own problems. This is particularly true when these individuals are living extravagant lifestyles that seem unattainable – think yachts, luxury cars, and lavish possessions. The schadenfreude (pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others) stems partly from envy, but also from a cultural fascination with wealth and success, often excessively displayed on social media. When these individuals fall from grace, people find satisfaction in it.
It should be noted that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck find themselves in a situation that’s vastly different from that of a star like P. Diddy. (Although, it was thought that Lopez might be roped into Diddy’s drama, given their past relationship and a legal situation from the early 2000s.) More recently, it’s been reported that Affleck and Lopez are attempting to navigate their divorce amicably. They’ve even been spotted hanging out with their kids together on multiple occasions in the aftermath of the legal filing.
It’s open for discussion what specifically attracts Joe Rogan to celebrity drama, but it’s clear that many people find themselves drawn to witnessing the less flattering moments of celebrities. As we move forward, it will be interesting to observe how Bennifer’s divorce unfolds and what reactions society might have towards it.
