Has J-Law finally gone too far?
While Jennifer Lawrence is usually known and beloved for her no-bullsh*t approach to media, her behavior towards a foreign press reporter during Sunday's Golden Globes is receiving widespread backlash.
Variety captured footage of Lawrence snapping at a reporter during a post-awards show junket, telling the man to stop looking at his phone and mocking his question.

Many called Lawrence's comment harsh and insensitive, considering reporters often use phones to record answers and take notes -- even more likely if the international reporter's first language wasn't English.
Ironically, Lawrence took home the Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Sunday night, given to her by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Jennifer Lawrence criticising a guy for living life behind a screen seems dumb for someone who's just won an award for being in a movie— Felicity Morse (@FelicityMorse) January 11, 2016

@montybadago @GreenWeiner @Variety Yeah, her. I'm a big fan but I think she went a bit too far. He sounded nervous/scared/overwhelmed.— Susannah Guthrie (@susguthrie) January 11, 2016
