Unfortunately, Jennifer Lawrence’s backlash wasn’t limited to Twitter. There were multiple writeups about the awkward incident across various news outlets, such as Refinery 29, Mic, and Buzzfeed, which criticized the actor’s actions. However, despite the backlash, not everyone felt the need to pile onto Lawrence. Anne Hathaway, who’s endured her fair share of internet criticism took to Facebook to show support for her acting peer.
According to People, the “Princess Diaries” actor felt that Lawrence’s scolding wasn’t what it appeared to be. “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 on Facebook. The Academy Award-winning actor went on state that Lawrence is a “beautiful, talented, wildly successful, popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman.” Hathaway ended her statement with a plea to not “tear her down for these things.”
Hathaway’s sincere plea was met with mixed reviews, as some users felt that Lawrence’s actions were inexcusable. With that said, Hathaway is far too familiar with being on the internet’s bad side. Following her 2013 Oscar win for her role in “Les Misérables,” the internet widely criticized the then-30-year-old for what they felt was a cringe, self indulgent acceptance speech (via Koi Moi). So it’s not surprising that she felt the need to show Lawrence a little grace.
