“She comes up to the little kid and is like, ‘Where is your license? Have you asked permission to be here?’ And then the kid is like, ‘No, I’m just selling candy. I’m trying to make some money,’ ” Lizarraga told CBS Los Angeles.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," Lopez said to the woman and offered to support the young woman."How much candy is that? I'm buying it all."
"I am not ashamed of myself I'm standing up for this young person," the woman fires back.
"Yeah. You're really standing up for them yelling at them," Lopez says.
"They do it all around the country and you should see how they live," the woman says.
As the teen counts the candy Lopez tells the woman that she's ignorant.
"How dare you call me a racist, you have no idea," says the woman to Lopez who completely ignores her and leaves the scene to get cash.
According to Lizarraga, who posted the video on Facebook, Lopez purchased about $80 worth of candy from the girl and handed it out to people standing around the incident.

“Mind your own business. Take care of yourself and your family and everything will come together for you,” Lopez told CBS Los Angeles.
