One netizen mocked, "There will be lots of women walking around in wedding dresses for no reason," while another said, "Seriously? Guess this is for the upper class of people who lost everything and need heels and gowns that bad?"
Additionally, one viewer pointed out, "I hope she packed some disinfectant spray along with those casual outfits."
"Why is she giving away clothes she's already worn? They're second-hand. Why not purchase new items to donate instead? This person clearly doesn't consider the implications," read another response.
Reflecting this feeling, another person commented, "Oh great, size 0-2 clothing and high heels will definitely come in handy. Any chance you could throw in some cash, Jlo?"
Someone else candidly remarked, "Why isn't she contributing money?"
