Jennifer Lopez Thinks She ‘Was a Little Bit on the Chunky Side’ in This Selfie

While visiting The View on Thursday, March 31, to discuss American Idol’s final season, the judge told the ladies of the panel of one particular selfie that appeared on the screen, “I was a little bit on the chunky side there, as you could see.”

“Do you want me to show you what chunky looks like?” copanelist Whoopi Goldberg asked as she stood and opened up her blazer to better reveal her figure. “This is ‘a little bit on the chunky side’!”

The selfie in question is from nearly a year ago, and shows the former Fly Girl in a skintight outfit with her abs bared and curves on full display.
