Jennifer Lopez is 'hurt' by claims she got a hotel maid fired for asking for her autograph.

The 43-year-old singer has been accused by German maid Pray Dodaj of getting her sacked when she knocked on Jennifer's hotel door in Dusseldorf to ask for an autograph - and was promptly turned away by two assistants - but the former 'American Idol' judge claims she would not do that.

She wrote on twitter: 'C'mon thought you knew me better than this.. Would never get anyone fired over an autograph. 1st I heard of this was on twitter. #hurtful (sic)'

Pray claims she was relieved from her post the day after the incident when Jennifer - who has previously played a chambermaid in movie 'Maid In Manhattan - was in the country last week.

She said: 'I cleaned on her floor. And I am an incredibly big fan so I took all my courage and rang the bell to get an autograph.

'But I was rejected by two assistants at the door.

'A day later the cleaning company that employed me at the hotel called and said that Ms Lopez had complained.

'I was fired right there on the phone. Because of an autograph.'
