I slap her, she slaps me. … 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."
"She's never apologised," t he actress then claimed.

J-Lo talked about the incident in a video (Getty Images for DirecTV)"She really really went for it, and so did I, and then I punched her in the eye by mistake — right there — ouch," she added.
"We talked about how we were going to do this over and over again. I was so afraid to hit Jane Fonda in the face or hurt her in any way," the singer and actress said. "She was so brazen and [said] like, 'Just hit me, don't worry about it.'
She added: "The scene took on a life of its own. I just remember afterward Jane had a blood blister right at the top of her eye. My nail, like, went up into her eye.... She didn't care. She's such a gangster b****. I just love her."
