Here’s a scary story that could have turned out much worse. Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini and their kids, Lopez’s six year-old twins Max and Emme and Remini’s daughter Sofia, 10, spent the day together on Saturday. Lopez and Remini are both from the Bronx and have been best friends for years. They were headed home from the Demi Lovato concert at LA’s Staples Center when they were rear ended by a drunk driver in a pickup truck who fled the scene. Cops caught up to the guy, charged him with a DUI and arrested him. Thank goodness Lopez, Remini, and their kids were all ok. Here’s more, thanks to E! Online:
Jennifer Lopez, her 6-year-old twins and BFF Leah Remini were recently involved in a car crash caused by a suspected drunk driver and thankfully, emerged unharmed.
On Saturday around 8 p.m., the latter star was driving J.Lo’s new SUV on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California while the singer sat in the passenger’s seat and her son and daughter, Max and Emme, sat in the back. The vehicle was rear-ended by a man driving a small pickup truck, police told E! News, adding that no one in Lopez’s car was injured.
The group and the male driver got out of their cars and as they started to exchange information, the man then returned to his truck and sped off. A police officer pulled him over a short distance away and arrested him on suspicion of hit-and-run and driving under the influence. He has not been identified and has not commented.
Shortly before the crash, Lopez shared on her Instagram page a photo of herself and Remini sitting in a vehicle and described the scary incident.
“Sitting at a light, riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!!” Lopez said. “Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird.”
There’s no word on what kind of car Lopez had but since it was an SUV and this is J.Lo we’re talking about I bet it was huge and built like a tank. That’s a good thing in this case as it must have protected her kids in the back seat.
Here’s a video that Lopez posted to Instagram of Max, 6, jamming out to Drake’s “0 to 100” in the back seat . Remini was driving so Lopez was able to take this video. It’s cute! E! points out that Remini posted a video from dinner with Lopez on Thursday night where she tried to get Lopez to sing “Booty” and she wasn’t having it.
Why am I not surprised that J.Lo has custom monogrammed seats? Look at Emme with her little minecraft pig.
Demi Lovato always seems like such a great sport.

Is it me or do they look like twins in that top photo?
they do! i was like “wait a second… two jlos?”
It’s not just you!
I am always on ring-watch and Leah is not wearing her wedding ring. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s everything.
Holy sh*t, I would NOT want to be the one who hit a car with JLO and Leah and their kids in it. I have a feeling both of those women could lay someone OUT if they wanted to. I would be enraged if someone hit me with kids in the car cause they were drinking and driving. A&&hole.
I have an intense love and fear of Leah. I doubt JLo would be any less fearsome though, given her kids were in the car.
JLo’s kids are gorgeous. And that other little girl is a cutie. That must be Leah’s daughter. Adorable.
Leah is unrecognizable in that top photo! Drunk drivers SUCK.
Drunk Drivers and Texting Drivers – people on our busy street where there are kids and schools driving with their head DOWN not even looking at the road that they should NOT be on since they are NOT able to pay ATTENTION and should lose their licences Permanently for drinking and driving or texing and driving. Interesting that Mariska Hargitay is in these photos – I think Jayne Mansfield was killed because the driver was going too fast for the conditions and plowed into a truck – fortunately her kids survived.

I would love to see the look on their faces when they got out of the car and started exchanging info with this fool.
Someone on gawker figured out it was a 2014 Rolls Royce Ghose-based on the center console and door panels. So not quite a SUV, but still a big ole’ car.
Also, why so many hashtags? #why

Imagine driving drunk and crashing into JLo & Leah Remini.
what’s happening with JLO’s lipstick in this photo?
yeah the lipliner is out of control
It´s hard to tell who is who in the top photo.
Then you see that JLo is the one with the lipstick accident…
The custom monogrammed seats are too much and so tacky.
Those kids are growing so quickly! They’re adorable. I still think of them as toddlers, though.
Leah looks like she does not take nonsense. Loved on that sitcom, it was like the perfect marriage
the most interesting thing about this is how much demi is reminding me of mariska hargitay here
This isn’t very nice, but when I think of Jennifer getting rear ended, I can’t stop thinking of the Booty video she made with Iggy.
Glad everybody’s ok though.
She no longer wanted to be referred to as ‘JLo’ but embraces it in her own life. Also, Leah is from Brooklyn, not the Bronx (see her daughter’s shirt?)
Leah is seriously aging backwards. Leaving the CO$ agrees with her. Love that woman.
