The most bizarre thing Jennifer Lawrence has ever read about herself? That Harvey Weinstein rumor

In our internet age, the rumor mill stops for no one, but it’s safe to say celebrities get the weirdest of the weird. However, there’s an added insanity when 1) a rumor comes from a colleague and 2) it comes with as demeaning and invasive a tone as Harvey Weinstein’s alleged claim he had sex with Jennifer Lawrence—take it from Lawrence herself. In a new Vogue interview, the actor doesn’t miss a beat when citing the comment as the wildest thing she’s ever heard about herself.
“That I fucked Harvey Weinstein,” Lawrence replies in her defiant deadpan when asked: “What’s the most bizarre thing you’ve ever read about yourself?” Lawrence is literal about the reading part here—the claim came to light as part of a 2018 lawsuit against Weinstein from a plaintiff who alleges, per Variety, that Weinstein “forcibly performed oral sex on her, repeatedly masturbated in front of her, and threatened to harm her career if she objected.”
In the suit, the plaintiff alleged that Weinstein would often showboat his weight in the industry, alluding to all the ways he could help her achieve her dreams of stardom. After all, he had examples— Weinstein allegedly told her, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.”
In response to the suit, Lawrence released a statement categorically denying the allegations, and condemning the alleged comment as “yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women.”
“My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” Lawrence said in a statement at the time. “I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him.”
Even before the comment, Lawrence had already spoken out against Weinstein and his legal team specifically for misrepresenting comments she and Meryl Streep made in order to make it appear as if the actresses had been defending him from misconduct allegations. The defense team eventually issued an apology.
Although Lawrence may have weathered her fair share of playing defense in the past few years, she shares in the same interview that working in Hollywood post-Times Up has been a different experience.
“I’ve seen huge changes, tremendous changes,” she says, “and more representation.”

Wow, I never thought of lying to women about other women I’ve banged. I wonder how that would have gone over:“I nailed the president of your sorority! Now sleep with me!”-ends up wearing drink-
I think you got to adapt the game for who you are trying to hit onFor example, if its someone really into politics you gotta be like “Baby, I hooked up with Hillary Clinton and Elanor Roosevelt. Just think what I can do for you”

“Sleep with me, I can tolerate any grotesqueness!”
Just what a girl wants to hear!
I have a way.
Billy Joel albums?

I can say with fair certainty that every woman I’ve slept with has not been elected president.
Coincidence?
I had a guy lie about sleeping with me once, even weirder it was someone I went after that rejected me.
I guess he figured if intentional walks count for on-base percentage, why not count your attempt in his overall stats?
Guys do that. I don’t understand why we do that, but we do it.
Sounds like you dodged a narcissist-shaped bullet.
Was there a sense of satisfaction in knowing he realized his bad choice not to knock boots with you? I mean, if there any option to enjoy weird news, I say take advantage of it.
He lied to you about sleeping with you? How’d he manage that?
I’m guessing I wasn’t meant to know about it but someone told a close friend of mine that he was going around telling people that which we both had a good laugh at.
It was grooming, right? “Prostitute yourself to me. It’s normal. Everyone does it. Here’s an example.”
lol I bet she did though. Its common to sleep their way up.
that Weinstein “forcibly performed oral sex on her, repeatedly masturbated in front of her, and threatened to harm her career if she objected.”
Of course she didn’t “fuck” him. We all know he had a weird dick and didn’t actually fuck most of those women. She just let him jack off in front of her or whatever. She did actually fuck all those other directors and producers, though.
I’m not sure what point you think you’re making with the tweet linked in the weirdest of the weird there, but it’s a joke by a band the guy is in commenting on his own tweet.
“and Meryl Streep made in order to make it appear as if the actresses had been defending him from misconduct allegations.”To say nothing of Meryl’s (and a LOT of other folks in Hollywood’s) continued support for known child molester Roman Polanski
Brave!!!!!
How has Meryl Streep shown “continued support” ??? Last thing I can see is her clapping at the Oscars 20 years ago.

What does that have to do with Roman Polanski?
Wow. That dude is obnoxious.Again, I don’t see anything past her applauding him winning the Oscar 20 years ago. I still see no evidence of continued support for that POS.On a side note, I’m not a fan of people who grow and evolve their beliefs being called hypocrites.
They all support him, you didn’t watch the video, but she is your actress
My actress? I liked her in She Devil and Death Becomes Her but that’s about it. I was annoyed she won the Oscar for Iron lady. Shouldve been Viola Davis or Michelle Williams.My actress, my all-time favorite, is Alfre Woodard. Been a fan since Scrooged.
Yes and people always tell the truth 100% of the time.
