Jennifer Lopez plead ignorance last month when human rights abuse watchers blasted the singer for accepting money to sing for the head of a repressive regime.
The erswhile Jenny from the Block’s team said the star never would have taken the gig had she known about the Turkmenistan leader’s shady past.

“The ‘Jenny-from-the-block-who-doesn’t-Google’ clarification may be credible in one instance, but it beggars belief in light of a pattern of repeated behavior,” said Human Rights Foundation president Thor Halvorssen.

One of the guests at the wedding was Chechen president, Ramzan Kadyrov. Earlier, Lopez was paid $1.4 million to perform at the birthday celebration in Moscow of allegedly corrupt Russian businessman Telman Ismailov,according to Halvorssen.
