We’ve seen a whole different side to J-Law.
The internet has responded to Jennifer Lawrence interrupting a journalist who was using his phone while asking her a questions.
She was taking part in a backstage interview with media after the Golden Globes when she told one of the journalists to put away his phone.
He was asking her a question and she interrupts him to say, “You can’t just live your life behind your phone bro. You can’t do that, you’ve gotta live in the now.”
After a nervous laughter on his part, he tries to continues by asking, “How do you see yourself for the Oscar night…” to which she interrupts him yet again and says, “We’re at the Golden Globes. If you put your phone down you would know that.”

What Jennifer failed to realise was that English probably isn’t his first language so the chances are he was looking at his phone for the translation or some sort of prompt for the question. Also, he wasn’t suggesting that he was at the Oscars, he was just asking about them.
Other people are also divided about her reaction and she’s since been called rude. Here are some of the reactions:
Jennifer Lawrence was extremely rude to that journalist. Embarrassed him and English was clearly not his first language.
