The fallacy of relative privation. It's actually a thing. |
| Yea. That turned me off of her completely. She's full of herself now. She thinks she's a comedian now because she hangs out with one. |
I saw it for the first time today. O.M.G. What a c@nt. Classless. Not a Meryl. |
| Saw the video today for the first time myself and am turned off for good what a disgrace for Hollywood |
She's actually pretty funny. I've been watching her interviews over the years. |
| It just sounds like a joke that did not come off well to me. Sorry, but did the reporter not even know which event he was at? |
|
Doesn't it make any difference to the people who are turned off that the reporter she was talking to was not looking at his phone to make a translation, but was pointing it at himself and Lawrence to try to take a picture/video of himself asking Lawrence a question?
Like, when you're a reporter at one of these things there are 50 other reporters there who would love to get a chance to get their questions answered before the person being interviewed has to move on to the next thing, so when you waste time getting selfies because you don't care about acting professionally, you are kind of screwing over all the other reporters who haven't asked their questions yet and might not get to. I just think the reporter did behave badly and unprofessionally, so if Lawrence wanted to tease him a bit to try to ground him back in reality, that's okay by me. |
In this case I can understand her frustration but still think her behavior was unnecessarily rude. She could have graciously asked him to step aside so other reporters could have an opportunity to ask some questions. But to school him in "living on the now" or whatever condescending thing she said reflected very poorly on her. |
That's exactly what it was. A joke that fell flat - Ba da thud. This is just taking attention away from the real jerk on that night: Leo. |
And you are sooooooo classy. People like you crack me up. I'll bet you leave an expletive-laden comment under every stupid celebrity story out there. |
| Yeah, calling women c_nts is really high class behavior. Did she step out of line? Value her time too highly for you? Is she one of those uppity women like your boss at work? Wouldn't you really just prefer it if she'd put on a pretty dress and make you a sandwich? |
THIS! |

Bottom line no matter who was at fault is that she came across like some entitled little conceited arrogant bitch schooling someone she felt "less then". its like the same thing as getting a crappy server in a restaurant and him giving horrible service and calling him out and being obnoxious about it. NOT COOL.
There is a way to handle things..with grace and class, its called taking the high road. If she would have said it laughing an not pointing her finger, maybe it would have been OK but she clearly meant every word she said and it was not a pretty sight. |

Yeah I think this is about policing women over what's acceptable behavior for them. If Liam Helmsworth or The Rock had gently corrected a dude with humor in this way over rudely using his phone during an interview to take pics, it would not be a news story. But a pretty lady with bright lipstick does it WTFOMGBBQ?! Total double standard.
She smiled (a bit) when she did it and made a joke about it, then followed up with another joke, then patiently answered his question. If a bro did that it would be called Wednesday. |
| Further evidence of my theory is all the people in this thread calling her gendered derogatory names like c*nt and bitch for what she did. |
