It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week since Jenna and her co-performer, Mia, captivated audiences during their Super Bowl halftime show. If you’ve somehow missed the buzz, let’s catch you up: their performance was a stunning showcase that had most viewers raving, but a few critics felt it was a bit too provocative, thanks to their sultry outfits and dance moves. Now, Jenna is addressing the backlash and, quite frankly, she seems unfazed by it — which only makes us appreciate her more.
Jenna’s Response at the Independent Spirit Awards
At the Independent Spirit Awards, where Jenna was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “The Hustlers,” she discussed the Super Bowl “controversy” with Variety. “Honestly, I think it’s a bit ridiculous,” she stated. “Both Mia and I are professional performers, and as mothers, we are very mindful of our actions. Our show was truly a celebration of women and our Latino heritage, and I believe it was tastefully done. Those few people who want to be negative? I simply won’t allow that negativity to affect me.”
The Bigger Picture
That’s the spirit! Jenna’s performance encompassed much more than just revealing outfits and choreography; it included a children’s choir, incredible athletic displays (seriously, have you tried pole dancing?), and a proud representation of Colombian and Puerto Rican cultures through music. Those focusing solely on what they deem “inappropriate” are missing the bigger picture. “The message is about empowerment and self-acceptance — that’s what I want to pass on to young girls. Be proud of who you are,” she emphasized to Variety. “I’m incredibly proud of how we performed that night.”
Empowering Young Girls
In her social media posts leading up to the big show, Jenna shared her intentions: “I want all the little girls up on that stage with me, and girls everywhere, to know how to use their voices and take pride in who they are. Together, we represent what makes this country truly extraordinary.” Thankfully, Jenna seems wholly unaffected by the negativity from those who fail to grasp the essence of her groundbreaking performance.
