Last year, Lopez reposted a then-viral Instagram video featuring the paralegal, who is representing herself, claiming a seasonal flu shot left her with a rare neurological condition called dystonia.
In an Inside Edition report, Desiree Townsend appears to behave erratically, with slurred speech and exaggerated movements. However, when the news magazine later caught up with her, she appeared to be fully recovered with little treatment.

Lopez insinuated in his caption that Townsend was faking her disability, captioning his re-shared video: "There’s gotta be some kind of award for this performance," while adding the hashtags #MethodActor and #OscarWorthy.
On Father's Day, Townsend served her lawsuit notice to the star and taped their interaction in a video that has since gone viral on its own.
