Jennifer Lawrence Was The Queen Of Shutting Down The Body-Shamers
We live in a strange universe, ladies and gentlemen: a universe where some human beings think it's acceptable and even sane to call Jennifer Lawrence "fat." A universe where actresses are constantly having to field questions about their bodies, because reasons. A universe where other people alternately celebrate and abhor JLaw for proudly declaring that she eats Slim Jims and Doritos.
It's all pretty craptastic, but none of this is JLaw's fault -- and whenever someone takes a swing at the actress regarding her own freaking body, she responds like a heavyweight champ. (Jokes, jokes.)
So without further ado, here are the best instances of JLaw taking ownership of her own body and shutting down the haters:
When she stood up for herself after her n*de photos were stolen.
Gotta start with number one, and number one for JLaw is probably one of the worst moments of her life -- that time someone stole her incredibly personal n*de photos, then put them online for public viewing. Lawrence's response to this awful situation was great, because she A, reminded everyone that taking n*de photos is not a freaking crime, but that B, that looking at them totally is.
“I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for," she told Vanity Fair. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.
“It is not a scandal. It is a s-x crime," she continued. "It is a s-xual violation. It’s disgusting. Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a s-xual offense. You should cower with shame.”
