'Hustlers' Inspiration Samantha Barbash Rips Jennifer Lopez
'Hustlers' Real-Life Ramona Rips J Lo ... She Played Me without Talking to Me!!!
Box office numbers be damned, Jennifer Lopez failed in her "Hustlers" role because she didn't do her homework ... at least according to the real-life strip club host who inspired J Lo's character.
We got Samantha Barbash in NYC Tuesday and she went nuclear about the deal that was NOT made before the movie was made. She says a "Hustlers" producer, not Jennifer, contacted her to see if she would sign away her rights.
She claims the offer was downright disrespectful, but ya gotta hear how Samantha describes it -- especially if you know anything about Hermes handbags!
She's also pissed because J Lo never spoke to HER about playing HER -- and she thinks it shows in the movie. One scene in particular really rubbed Samantha the wrong way, and she walked out of the movie super early.
"Hustlers" grossed over $33 million in its opening weekend, and Samantha thinks that's just because people wanted to see J Lo on a stripper pole, which ... TBH, actually sounds like a perfectly good reason to buy a ticket.
As for getting screwed on the movie deal -- Samantha's now cashing in with her own book about her story.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
One thing she loved about the flick was Cardi B's performance ... but says she got the wrong role.
