After the Oscars had ended, the news that garnered the most attention was not only Jennifer's surprise win but also her behavior at the ceremony.
After she won, in front of a large audience and facing the ABC television cameras, she unabashedly embraced Link and made intimate gestures with him. Upon taking the stage, she even boldly thanked Link for helping her 'knock out all her competitors' and openly expressed her love for him.
These actions were too bold; she paid no heed to rumors at all.
After the awards ceremony, mainstream media also criticized Jennifer's conduct. Although her relationship with Link was no secret in the entertainment world, as a public figure, she should be mindful of her behavior in public.
Overtly expressing love for a married man does not align with the qualities of independence and self-respect that modern women should possess and could lead to negative impacts.
