Jennifer Lopez Fiat's endorsement leads to accusations that she's speaking for a company that supports terrorism

by Tyler Munro

If you thought you were irritated by Jennifer Lopez’s insufferable Fiat commercials, the United Against Nuclear Iran is here to put things in perspective. They’ve decided to take on the popular (?) singer (??) by writing a letter explaining how her endorsement of the car company helps support terrorism. Or something of the sort, anyways.

“By endorsing Fiat, you are serving as a spokesperson for a company that freely does business with Iran, a regime that is developing an illegal nuclear weapons program, financing and sponsoring terrorist groups including al-Qaeda, has killed American and NATO soldiers and is recognized as one of the world’s leading human rights violators.” wrote UANI President Mark D. Wallace in an open letter to Lopez released yesterday.

“UANI recognizes that your endorsement of Fiat does not represent a sign of your support for the Iranian regime and its abhorrent practices,” the letter continues. “With that said, however, it is important for you to know that as its spokesperson, you are now the face of Fiat, and are therefore synonymous with a corporation that is undermining U.S. foreign policy and international security through its willingness to do business with the leaders of one of the world’s most dangerous and repressive regimes.”

Jennifer Lopez hasn’t yet responded to these allegations, which of course don’t really allege much of anything, but we’ll update this story if she does. [via WWTDD]
