Anne Hathaway Defends Jennifer Lawrence : Says, ‘She Was Dryly Joking’

The ‘Bride Wars' and 'Silver Lining Playbook' actresses seen to have become close friends after sharing the stage in 2013 to receive their respective Oscars.

Though JLaw was slammed for being rude to a journalist during Golden Globes, Anne Hathaway defends Jennifer Lawrence by saying, ‘she was dryly joking'

Yes, Anne Hathaway actually spoke for her friend and fellow actor. Yesterday, January 15, 2016, she took to Facebook to post the below lines,

‘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.'

She continued saying, ‘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.'

'Jennifer is a beautiful, talented, wildly successful,
popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman. Please let us not punish her for these things.'

We recently told you about what happened between the Golden Globes winning actress Jennifer Lawrence and a foreign journalist who was using his phone while asking her questions.

The actress told him to stop using his phone and live in the moment. She also told him that they were at Golden Globes when he asked her how she feels about the Academy Awards 2016 that's happening in February.

While some people felt Jennifer Lawrence was purely rude and inconsiderate, as he was a foreign journalist who was looking into his phone for questions, this is what Anne Hathaway had to say.

We sure can't say who is at fault and who is to blame as none knows what exactly the journalist was using his phone for. Nevertheless, JLaw was as blunt as always. What do you feel about it? Leave your comments below.
