Jane Fonda has claimed Jennifer Lopez failed to say sorry after accidentally injuring her during a slap scene for Monster-in-Law.
The 85-year-old actress played the mother-in-law from hell in the 2005 romantic comedy film, which saw her character try to derail her son’s (Michael Vartan) wedding to Charlie (Lopez).
During one infamous scene, tensions between Charlie and Viola reach a boiling point, which results in them getting physical with one another.
The Grace and Frankie star appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show where she reflected on her experience shooting the beloved movie.
She explained: ‘Well, ok. The thing that comes to mind right away is, we have a slapping scene. I slap her, she slaps me, I slap her.’
‘Well, Jennifer – as per Jennifer – she had this enormous diamond ring.

‘And so, when she slapped me one of the times, it cut open across my eye, my eyebrow. You know, she’s never apologised.’
Drew, 48, looked shocked by the revelation and gasped as Jane, who recently revealed she was in remission after being diagnosed with cancer, recounted the incident.
The Maid in Manhattan actress has previously spoken about the slapping scene on her YouTube channel in a video titled, I react to Monster-in-Law.

The Love Don’t Cost a Thing singer explained: ‘She really, really went for it and so did I. And then I punched her in the eye by mistake. Ouch.
‘We talked about how we were going to do this over and over again and I was so afraid to hit Jane Fonda in the face and hurt her in any way.’
She continued: ‘I remember afterward Jane had a blood blister right at the top of her eye. My nail went up into her eye.

‘I was mortified. I was like, “I’m so sorry,” and she was like, “It’s fine. It’s fine.” And she didn’t care, she’s such a gangster.’
