Jennifer Lawrence: I was placed in 'nude lineup,' told to lose weight
fox news ^ | oct 17, 2017

Jennifer Lawrence revealed in a speech on Monday night that she was forced to participate in a “degrading and humiliating” lineup while naked and was told to lose weight when she was starting off her acting career.

Lawrence, who was being honored at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event in Los Angeles, stood at the lectern and detailed her experience of being mistreated in the entertainment industry.

“When I was much younger and starting out, I was told by producers of a film to lose 15 pounds in two weeks,” the 27-year-old actress said to a crowd that included Kristen Stewart, Margot Robbie and Ashley Greene.

“One girl before me had already been fired for not losing the weight fast enough,” she added. “During this time a female producer had me do a nude lineup with about five women who were much, much, thinner than me. We all stood side by side with only tape on covering our privates.”

Lawrence called it a “degrading and humiliating” experience and said the producer then told her she should “use the naked photos” of herself as “inspiration” for her diet.

When she did try to stand up for herself, another producer said she was “perfectly f—kable," Lawrence said.

She does tend to pudge a bit.

Didn’t bother her then: why does it bother her all of a sudden?

She’s one of the biggest Trump and conservative haters around. Last time I saw one of her movies was X Men and still scratching my head how people think this twit is a star.

Yes, it’s disgusting.

But, she did this voluntarily in search of a movie career. She could have chosen a different career path and avoided the humiliation.

So why did you do it, Jennifer?

And where were your parents?

And she could have spared others from the same fate.....she's just another selfish Hollywood bitch.

Is it too late to remind her to put on some more IQ points?

Apparantly California has a short (two year(?) statute of limitations regarding these crimes. According to Corey Feldman said the victims stand to be sued by the criminals if its ‘he said, she said’.

Indeed, a total plain Jane with out tons of Studio makeup, and a mediocre actress from what my wife says.

She wasn't involuntary "placed" into a nude line-up. She went along with a humiliating process to get or keep a particular acting job.

She could have refused and possibly lost the job or refused and possibly changed the female producer's mind.

Or she could have reconsidered her options and gone into honest work instead of acting.

Was she kidnapped and forced to appear in that nude lineup? If not, it wasn't abuse. It was a career choice, one which gave her unfair advantage over women who refused to participate.

(Mine might not be a typical "gal" view. I'm very uncomfortable with people who come forward in situations like this. Delayed-reaction outrage seems so cynical in most cases)

stood at the lectern

Here's the amazing thing about this article. The writer knows the difference between a lectern and a podium!
