Overview

• On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Carey told Andy Cohen she still does not personally know Lopez, asking, "How can I suddenly know?"
• Carey said she was being honest when she first made the comment and expressed surprise that it grew so large in the culture.
• The line traces back to a 2003 interview on Germany’s taff, where her "I don’t know her" response went viral.
• Cohen revisited the exchange as he often does during Carey’s appearances, highlighting the meme’s staying power.
• Lopez countered in 2016 that they had met "many times" and described Carey as forgetful, a claim Carey has disputed.
