George Lopez’s Daughter Says NBC Canceling ‘Lopez vs. Lopez’ Was ‘Pretty F***ing Rude’

Lopez vs. Lopez wasn’t exactly Friends or Seinfeld when it came to dominating the ratings. Heck, it wasn’t even 2 Broke Girls. But that didn’t make the Lopez family any happier when NBC axed the sitcom after three seasons. 

After the official announcement came through, George Lopez reposted a video of his daughter and co-star Mayan borrowing a viral audio clip to express her feelings about the decision. “That was rude,” she lip-syncs. “That was fucking rude.”

To be fair, Mayan appeared to have her tongue firmly in cheek in the video. But the Lopezes are publicly expressing their disappointment. In an Instagram Story over the weekend, Mayan was still sharing petitions to save the show, offering hope that the sitcom might still be picked up by another outlet. 

“It was three years,” Mayan Lopez added in another Instagram Story. “I mean, the guest stars that we had, the incredible moments for the community and our Latinidad, and it was a beautiful experience and we really were like family, and we always will be.”

In yet another Instagram Story, per Deadline, Mayan said was was “getting to work and also mourning” and “treating (NBC’s decision) like a death. … I’m grieving.” If the show doesn’t get picked up somewhere else, she promised fans that she would provide “closure” about unfinished storylines. 

“This wasn’t just a show,” George wrote in the caption when he reposted his daughter's video. “It was and is our lives. We created a family. We created jobs for RAZA, there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes and I am forever grateful and thankful for every single member of our #LopezVSLopez familia.”

Mayan opened up her Instagram for fan questions to reveal what might come next. One option, she joked, came from co-star Matt Shively, who suggested, “Can we just shoot Season Four on an iPhone in your apartment?”

“This show was my baby, and it took so much out of me personally and professionally being, starring and producing and writing on it. I’ve done a lot, and I think the next thing I do won’t be a version of myself, so it won’t take so much out of me,” she posted. “The industry’s in a weird place right now, but I’m going to do what I can.” 

George Lopez has had shows canceled before, so perhaps he’s more philosophical. He told People earlier this year that he hoped Lopez vs. Lopez could “go a few more seasons. But after this, I’d like to have a little time for myself.”

Somebody had better tell Mayan that George is looking forward to retirement because she has other plans. “My dad and I are already talking about working with each other again.”
