Jennifer Lawrence Speaks of her own Horrific Experiences in Hollywood

The Mother star spoke last night in Los Angeles at an event for women in the industry.Her comments come after a number of women in Hollywood have spoken out about their own experience with harassment and sexual abuse. Lawrence’s speech shows that the many forms of abuse women are exposed to in the entertainment business is horrific and not excusable.

Lawrence recalled during a casting, “a female producer had me do a nude lineup with about five women who were much, much thinner than me. And we all stood side-by-side with only paste-ons covering our privates. After that degrading and humiliating lineup, the female producer told me I should use the naked photos of myself as inspiration for my diet.”

Not only is this humiliating for a young star, but terrifying to know that it came from another woman who knows that it can be hard for younger women to accept their bodies. She also went on to say that the male director though she was “f**kable” as she was, which is extremely uncomfortable to hear from someone who is supposed to be a professional.

As Jennifer has grown, she said she can now laugh about the experience. But before exiting, she told the audience, “We will stop normalizing these horrific situations.”
