Lopez joined the singing competition show in season 10 (2011) as a judge alongside Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. However, in a new interview, the singer and actress revealed that her team advised her against doing reality TV.
"I do things that can be risky because I believe they're going to be good," Lopez told Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine. "I've done all these big movies and albums and now they're asking me to do reality TV."
She continued: I have kids and I haven't worked for a couple of years. American Idol was a big show at the time. It really comes down to: What do I think I can contribute? At the time, all my advisors said, 'Don't do this, you're going to be reduced to a reality star.'
