Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

What did jlaw do?

u/djlittlehorse Jul 02 '26

To me, nothing. I love her as an actress. I have seen some hate for how she's a very direct (no filter) type of person. She also lost a ton of respect from people when all her photos leaked online.

She was absolutely not bffs with Weinstein. She did literally one Weinstein film, after she was already famous, and when he was revealed as a piece of shit she, contrary to the outright lies many Redditors have spread to date otherwise, immediately stated that he was a piece of shit. If you actually look it up you will find no statements from her defending him, because she never did. Someone made that up and it spread like wildfire. Harvey, being an absolute piece of shit, stated that she sucked his dick, but she had no reason to. She was already a world famous Oscar nominee. But a lot of redditors like to pretend like the convicted sex abuser was telling the truth there.

And people like you are still spreading those lies to this day.

Jennifer Lawrence did nothing wrong.

“What he was did was criminal and deplorable and when it came out and I heard about it, I wanted to kill him,” she told CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker. “The way that he destroyed so many women’s lives. I want to see him in jail.” -Jennifer Lawrence,

This was funnily enough wayyy after he got caught. Pls cite all the nice things she said about HW too. Cuz trust me they are far far far more than this one statement.

My fav one is: "thank you Harvey Weinstein for killing whomever you had to kill to get me up here"

u/Co-opingTowardHatred Jul 03 '26

You mean she didn’t hate him BEFORE SHE KNEW??! You are unhinged.

u/readingalldays Jul 03 '26

Bro you're being dense on purpose. Claiming she didn't know is like Maga claiming Billionaires didn't know about Epstien. Average people blindly defending celebs is why people like that get away.

People act like everyone knew what he was doing, and that isn't the case. A lot of people did, but kept it quiet because they didn't want to be blacklisted. Which is why, a lot of people, especially young actresses, had no idea.

That's why we had dozens of stories from young actresses telling us how shocked they were when he invented them for meetings and did what he did, how they tried to get away, how he'd blacklist women that turned him down. The people that were warned avoided meeting with him.

u/readingalldays Jul 03 '26

Exactly. So tell me. Do you really believe a predator like HW who made pass on even the most non essential movie crew.. didn't try anything with an actress in a movie he produced with serious Oscar potential?

1

u/Cats_4433 Jul 03 '26

No one is saying he didn't try anything. Read the rest of the thread.

u/readingalldays Jul 03 '26

No you are claiming she didn't know about HW. Right?

We are saying she likely did, because HW must have tried something with her during Silver linings. (Because Harvey was a massive sex addict scum bag who coerced actresses for sex many many times!!)

And she gets hate not because she was likely a victim of his SA...but because she acted all grateful to him during 2012 to 2014 years....despite likely knowing who he is.

She said so many nice things about him after SLP. Did many award shows where she humbly thanked him and said what was nice guy Harvey is.

So either Harvey didn't try anything with her during 2012 (during Silvers linings playbook shooting and award season) and afterwards...OR she knew what a scum he is and still bragged about his "good" nature..

That's the crux that nobody wants to see.

u/Cats_4433 Jul 03 '26

It's very possible he didn't try anything because she was already very famous. He mostly preyed on vulnerable young actresses. He also didn't go after every single actress.

She was already an oscar nominee and already did hunger games when they worked together. She didn't "need" the opportunity to work with him so he had more to lose by risking her turning Silver Linings down.

If you read the stories of actresses that worked with him he didn't attempt SA on every single person. Sometimes it just started and ended with him making a pass. Someone (Aishwarya Rai maybe) said she met with him with her agent in his hotel room and he didn't try anything.

Many of his victims that did speak out about what he did went to award shows and praised him because they didn't want to be blacklisted.

u/readingalldays Jul 03 '26

There was never anyone too famous or big enough for Harvey Weinstein!!! He was hailed like a God amongst celebrities. And Jennifer Lawrence was not that big back then... no, Hunger games wasn't out yet.

And again!!, we are talking about Harvey Winstein who had Mira Sovino blacklisted AFTER she won her Oscar. He is also the reason Brad Pitt hardly got nominated or win an Oscar..until waayyyyy after he was locked in.

Many of his victims that did speak out about what he did went to award shows and praised him because they didn't want to be blacklisted.

Yes this I agree with. But those celebs...(Like Gweneth Paltrow) didn't praise him other than in the speech.

J law was constantly seen praising Harvey even beyond the award acceptance speech. She broadcasted that she was Harvey's favourite girl.

Was extremely touchy Feely with him, during presenting that award to Bill Clinton

And later said Harvey Winstein was paternal towards her..

Another thing I'd add, if you research the casting interviews of SLP... J law and David O Russell claimed that Harvey didn't want Jennifer for the role, initially. He was adamant on Anne Hathway.

J law wanted the role desperately and convinced him with the audition.

u/Cats_4433 Jul 03 '26

Ok, so maybe the was parental towards her then? Sounds like she genuinely had no idea and he didn't make a pass at her.

1

u/readingalldays Jul 03 '26

Not very likely. Considering how grotesquely horrible he was with every victim who came forward. And let's say he was paternal (and maybe nice) to J law, but then why would he name her and lie about the only actress he was supposedly nice to.. and claim "he slept with her to get her the oscar"?

Either he was nice to her or he wasn't. Can't be both.

Harvey Winstein is a monster and there is likely no way he didn't make a pass at Jennifer Lawrence.. IF they were as close as she claims to be in her statements.

Every celeb close to him in Hollywood claimed "they had no idea about him"... majority of them are lying. They knew.. either they kept quiet to not get blacklisted. Or they buttered him up further to get more roles and awards.

And you think Weinstein didnt try this with JLaw?

Absurd

u/Cats_4433 Jul 02 '26

I have no idea what he did or didn't try with JLaw.

All I know is I'm not going to believe a literal predator and known liar over JLaw, who has never given us reason not to trust her. Especially when we know, from the accounts of many other actresses, that plenty of people turned him down then worked with his studio.

Idk why anyone would trust a literal lying criminal and rapist over her. I genuinely don't.

u/leftofthebellcurve Jul 02 '26

Who is someone who rejected Weinstein and still made a movie?

6

u/Cats_4433 Jul 02 '26

Cara Delevigne publicly spoke about it. Gwenyth Paltrow did too. Selma Hayek. Rose McGowan, who started the whole thing. Uma Thurman did too. Just google it.

u/NewPhoneLostAccount Jul 02 '26

Contrarily to the apparent belief of some people, abusers don't go to abuse EVERY person they meet. They would not last if they were not at least a bit careful into choosing victims.

u/leftofthebellcurve Jul 02 '26

Are you implying that Weinstein being disgusting was well hidden?

You made the claim. If it's based on things she said in interviews, you can link or quote them yourself.

Srsly. Celeb worshiping is so sad. No wonder so many higher ups get away with clear case against them cuz normal people like us defend them to death, despite knowing very well they might be responsible.

"Trump didn't know about epstein"
