    Look At Me Jennifer Lawrence was 'punished' for standing up to a director

    Jennifer Lawrence has claimed she was once ''punished'' by a producer for standing up for herself when a director ''said something f***ed up'' to her.

    The 27-year-old actress was left fearing the end of her career when an unnamed producer allegedly told her she was being ''unruly'' for calling out a director's behaviour on set, and claims she was punished by being branded as ''difficult'' to work with.

    Speaking during The Hollywood Reporter's annual Actress Roundtable, the 'Hunger Games' star said: ''I finally made the decision to stand up for myself, and then I went to go to the bathroom at work and one of the producers stopped me and was like, 'You know, we can hear you on the microphone, you've been really unruly'. Which was not true, but basically my job was threatened because the director said something f***ed up to me and I said, 'That's sick, you can't talk to me like that.'

    ''And then I was punished. I got afraid that I wasn't going to be hired again. I was called 'difficult' and a 'nightmare.'''

    The 'Passengers' actress also noted that many women who experience harassment in the work place don't come forward because ''they're afraid they're not going to work again.''

    She added: ''You need to be able to say, 'This is wrong' and have somebody do something about it instead of saying, 'Oh, it's wrong? Well, you're fired.'''

    Jennifer addressed the larger issue of sexual misconduct at work - which has been a talking point since Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual harassment by a number of women over a 30-year period - and hopes that the ''conversation'' that is happening now will spark change going forward.

    She said: ''The big misconception, though, is that this is just in the entertainment industry. Once again, the entertainment industry is kind of the stage on which you can see the inner workings of problems that are all over the world. If a flight attendant comes forward about a pilot, it doesn't end up in the news because nobody knows about it. That doesn't mean that there's less sexual abuse going on anywhere else in the world, in any other place of work. But fortunately, we're starting the conversation now.''

    A) Wow, her career was ruined - she could have been famous and rich, but... oh wait. [/S]
    B) She lays out the larger agenda at work here. It's not just the entertainment industry; it's just an example of how toxic ALL men are.

    The only thing toxic here were her fingers when she was shoving them unwashed into her cooter from behind..

    You know, I love JLaw as an actress, I think she is supremely talented and nothing can take that away from her. However, I find that every time she opens her mouth publicly about stuff, I like her less and less as a person.

    Yeah old hyuk, hyuk has lost the attraction of when she was talking about being drunk, farting, belching...

    I have no sympathy for her. She makes something like 10 or 20 million per movie and she's not that good.
