Joan Rivers Picks on Jennifer Lawrence — Wrong Move
By Anne Cohen November 13, 2013
Joan Rivers picked the wrong lady to mess with.
The “Fashion Police” diva was irked by some comments made by Jennifer Lawrence — otherwise known as Queen of Awesome and America’s favorite person — during a Q&A with Yahoo! employees last week.
“There are shows like ‘The Fashion Police’ that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on all the wrong values and that it’s OK to point at people and call them ugly or fat,” the “Hunger Games” star said when asked about the pressure to be perfect.
Joan was not amused and sent out a series of tweets slamming the most likeable celebrity on the planet:
It’s funny how Jennifer Lawrence loved @E_FashionPolice during Awards Season when we were complimenting her every single week…

But now that she has a movie to promote, suddenly we’re picking on all those poor, helpless actors.

WAIT! It just dawned on me why Jennifer Lawrence fell on her way up to the stage to get her Oscar. She tripped over her own arrogance.

Ouch.
Come on Joan, don’t you know that J-Law can do no wrong?
