The humiliating casting of Jennifer

After Lawrence got up to perform on stage, she began to talk about the humiliations that fall to the lot of women, even if they are actresses in Hollywood. This is especially true for novice actresses and, as Jennifer said, she knows about it firsthand. That's what the actress said:

"Many years ago, when my career was just beginning, I came to the casting and I was asked to strip naked. The woman producer asked me and the rest of the contenders for the role to completely uncover, and after that put us all in line and began to consider. That horror and shame, which I then experienced, can not be compared with anything. Humiliation was very strong. We all stood in one line and shyly covered themselves with a ribbon. When the producer examined me, she grimaced, saying that I need to lose weight.

Now I understand that I went on casting with such conditions only because I was a beginning actress and it was necessary for my career. Now I would not agree to anything like that. Humiliation, which lasted 10 minutes, haunts me for many years. I can not get rid of him and understand perfectly all those women and girls who have gone through like that. "

Lawrence said a few words about Weinstein

After the actress shared her sad experience about sexual discrimination, she remembered a story with the famous producer Harvey Weinstein and his harassment of various women. Here are some words about this Lawrence:

"When I found out that Harvey was capable of violence, I could not believe it. I worked with the producer more than once, but never anything like this about me was not. Maybe I'm just not in his taste or I just got lucky. Despite this, I sympathize with all the victims who suffered from Weinstein. It's vile and mean to use your position and make subordinates satisfy their sexual desires. I am very glad that this topic starts to rise in our society, because it was silenced for a very long time. I am sure that together we will be able to prove that a woman is also a person who has her own desires and professional opportunities, quite often independent of whether she will lie to someone or not.
