This week, someone leaked a video to the media of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence dancing on a stripper pole. While Lawrence has been the victim of hacking and nude-photo leaks in the past, you have to feel bad for the actress when her privacy is violated over and over again.
While people took to social media and blogs to dig knives in Lawrence’s character, she decided to speak out about the video that leaked. And, of course – like Jennifer Lawrence usually does – she decided to be completely and brutally honest.
(We’re not sharing the video, because that’s savage AF and a complete no-no).
She took to Facebook to say:
This is why all women should look up to Jennifer Lawrence as a role model. Sure, some people are going to say she’s not a good role model for young girls because she takes nude selfies and she dances on poles – but f*ck that.
This is an actress that is truly unapologetic and unafraid of being herself. She curses at award shows, unapologetically. She wears exactly what she wants, unapologetically. She acts the way she wants to act, unapologetically – even if she is living under a huge, bright spotlight.
Far too often, people in the “real world,” deny celebrities the right to be actual people. Sure, they have fame and they have fortune, but this doesn’t make them any less human than you or I. J Law is simply doing her job, her career – much like a lawyer, a teacher, a police officer. The only difference is that all eyes are on her, all of the time.
If I step out with a new guy, no one gives a f*ck. If J Law steps out with a new man, it makes headlines.
Do you see the problem?
We perpetuate a discussion about celebrities’ private life more often than we do of their professional life. I see less headlines about her new movies than I do about her in her private life – and that’s f*cked up.
Imagine thinking that jennifer lawrence, a grown adult, should apologize for having her privacy invaded. How stupid can people be.

^ Word.
Maybe when we learn to stop invading people’s personal space and focus on what they want us to see, we can grow the f*ck up and stop being so hyper-sensitive to things of this nature.
Also – Jennifer – you killed it. Keep slaying.
