Despite dating Sean “Diddy” Combs from 1999-2001, Jennifer Lopez’s former staffer insisted she knew nothing about the music mogul’s alleged s-- crimes.

According to Thea de Sousa — who worked alongside Lopez on the 2002 rom-com Maid in Manhattan — the “On the Floor” singer, 55, should not be associated with her ex-lover’s scandal.

"If you knew Jennifer Lopez, if you ever worked with her like I did, or if you were close with people who are like family to her like I am, you would know she did not have any idea about Diddy," de Sousa penned on social media.

The ex-employee added: "She barely drinks, she is not a partier, she isn't a good time girl, she is a workaholic who uplifts [women] and who was charmed by him for a brief time in her life."

Lopez was recently slammed by Elon Musk for not commenting on their relationship amid the scandal.

“J.Lo was like his ex-girlfriend and it’s like now ... she’s like warning people against [Donald] Trump,” Musk, 53, stated on Joe Rogan's podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," noting how Lopez endorsed Kamala Harris for president. “How many people did she warn against Diddy, right? Oh, zero, OK.”
