It was meant as a joke, but unfortunately for Jennifer Lawrence her rape quip at the Cannes Film Festival has seen her roundly criticised, even by those who were previously the actress’s champions.
At an industry party hosted by Vanity Fair and Armani party on May 17, Jennifer’s off the cuff and off-hand remark was overheard, duly noted and subsequently has snowballed into a PR nightmare for the 23-year-old.
Jennifer had revealed that when she first met Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón she started screaming and approached him saying: ‘I broke out my rape scream for you!’
With Jennifer being one of the few celebrities who doesn’t have a Twitter account, there is still no apology, or comment on the matter, from either the actress or her PR team.
