I’m always the first one dancing on the table.”

“I thought you didn’t drink?” wrote one. while another said, “Super-disappointed and confused.”

“You are married to a man who struggles with alcohol addiction,” many others said, referring to Ben.

According to heat’s sources, the actor is equally outraged, criticizing J-Lo for being insensitive.

“A lot of people think this is in very bad taste,” says an insider close to the pair.

“Ben’s trying hard to stay sober and has difficult days like every recovering alcoholic. He would prefer if booze wasn’t in the house at all, but has to sit back and watch Jen work on this project. The whole thing feels inappropriate.”

Ben recently confessing, “It took me a long time to fundamentally, deeply, without a hint of doubt, admit to myself that I am an alcoholic.”

Fans were displeased, especially considering Jen earlier stated, “I don’t drink or smoke or have caffeine.”

However, people close to Jen say she doesn’t see the issue.

“She’s just putting her name to a marketable product – she sees no issue with it.

So far, Ben’s shown remarkable willpower, but he can’t help but feel let down, watching his wife promoting something that nearly ruined his life.”
