LAWRENCE CAUGHT IN MEDIA FRENZY OR BEING RUDE TO BAFTA HOST

People didn’t take too lightly to Jennifer Lawrence’s response to Joanna Lumley’s many compliments of her at the 2018 BAFTA awards. When the show’s host introduced the presenter, she said, “And we start with the award for Outstanding British Film, and who better to kick the whole evening off than the hottest actress on the planet? Soon to be seen in Red Sparrow, it’s the ravishing Jennifer Lawrence.” Really nice, right? Well, when the 27-year-old stepped onstage, she responded, “Hi. That was a bit much, but thank you Joanna”, and the Internet imploded over her perceived “rudeness.”

Here comes Jen’s explanation. “Everybody thought that I was being rude. But to be fair, I couldn’t have just walked out after she was like, ‘biggest movie star in the world!!’ If I’d just walked out and gone ‘thank you Joanna,’ it would have been like, ‘so you agree? You think you’re really pretty!'” Fair point!

Unfortunately, Twitter didn’t pick up on the gag. Some people said that the mother! star needed to “lighten the things up ” while others called her a “stuck up brat.”
