In the 14 years of American Idol existence, no judge has ever left his palm on a contestant's face. But Jennifer Lopez reportedly did!

On the January 28 episode of the famous music TV show, things got so heated in the audition room in San Francisco that J.Lo was actually driven to slap a contestant right across the face!

According to reports, Samuel Prince from Puerto Rico asks the judges to partake in his auditions by playing bit for him and somehow instigated the slap himself!

Samuel says, JLo is "queen," and to honor the queen, Samuel asks JLo if she– as well as Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will join him in something. "This is a soap opera scene," Samuel says.

Samuel begins to dramatically yell at JLo in Spanish, saying things like, "how could you?" and "don’t look at me." Finally, when he looks at her and says, "this is a disgrace," something in Jennifer snaps and she steps up to Samuel and clocks him square in the face!

The sound that is made as her open palm hits his cheek echoes through the room. He falls to the ground.
