Mariah Carey Explains Infamous “I Don’t Know Her” Jennifer Lopez Diss On ‘WWHL’: “I’m Very Forgetful”

Mariah Carey will be explaining her infamous, gif-mainstay diss of Jennifer Lopez from the early 2000s until the end of time. You know the one — it was from an on-camera interview no one can seem to remember other than the fact that Carey first praised Beyonce, and then gave the answer of “I don’t know her,” when asked her thoughts on JLo.

Mimi’s latest run-in with someone bringing that particular moment up came when Andy Cohen asked her about it on Watch What Happens Live last night. “Do you know each other? She says you know her,” the host posed to Mariah.

“You know what? I’m very forgetful,” Carey said in response. “Apparently, apparently, I’m forgetful.”

She went on to imply that the two pop divas may have had a brief, introductory meeting at some point in time, and added, “If I had never had a conversation with you, and someone asked me about you, I’d be like, ‘I don’t know him, but he seems cool’, or, ‘I don’t know him’.”

Cohen then asked Carey if Lopez seems cool, which brought about a long pause…until finally, again: “I don’t know her! What am I supposed to say? I’m not gonna put on a thing like, oh, we’re all Hollywood and let’s just all pretend we’re best friends ’cause we’re on, in that land. It’s not offense to anybody.”

Carey then admitted, “It wasn’t like I don’t know who she is. Of course I do. That’s not the question.”
