Anne Hathaway defends Jennifer Lawrence following the Golden Globe controversy.
Jennifer Lawrence went from one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood to one of the most hated in a matter of a few seconds. After bashing a foreign journalist, Jennifer Lawrence told the reporter he needs to disconnect from his phone in order to enjoy life.
Anne Hathaway recently commented on the Jennifer Lawrence Golden Globes controversy. In a Facebook post, Hathaway, who identified herself as “a J-Law fan,” repeatedly defended Lawrence who was bashed for being rude to a foreign journlist in a post Golden Globes press conference.
“Dear the Internet, It’s become pretty clear that the Jennifer Lawrence ‘scolding’ was taken out of context and that she was dryly joking with a journalist who was indeed using his phone to take photos of her,” Hathaway wrote.
“Let’s not continue the sad but common practice of building people — especially women — up just to viciously tear them down when we perceive them to have misstepped,” she added. Hathaway clearly felt very passionate about the incident, adding “Jennifer is a beautiful, talented, wildly successful, popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman. Please let us not punish her for these things.”
