Jennifer Lawrence is receiving criticism after she scolded a reporter backstage for reading his question off his phone during her Golden Globes press room interview.
“You can’t live your whole life behind your phone, bro,” said Lawrence, who won the Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy. “You can’t do that. You’ve got to live in the now.”
After the reporter apologized and continued his question saying, “How do you see yourself for the Oscar night,” Lawrence once again cut him off joking, “We’re at the Golden Globes. If you put your phone down, you’d know that.”
Meanwhile, many people online made various assumptions after seeing the 23 second clip stating that the journalist was not a native English speaker and calling Lawrence “rude,” “classless” and saying that she needed to apologize.
What was not shown in the video is the follow-up question that was asked, “How was working with Édgar Ramírez?” Which Lawrence answers – sans sarcasm – “Working with Édgar was wonderful. He is so sweet. He’s great, a terrific actor.”
Watch the entire exchange below:
I feel as though Jennifer was trying to be funny and her sense of humor is sometimes more than people can take, they aren’t used to it. There were people laughing in the background and it is true people need to lay off their phones more but I don’t feel as though she intentionally was trying to be rude. With that being said she could have gone without the second remark because it was a little over board.

How does a follow up question make her earlier statements not rude? He was clearly asking about her thoughts on how Oscar night would turn out (does she think she’ll get a nomination, if not – who does she favor?).
