The Golden Globes were held tonight and it was a night of celebration for many stars such as Denzel Washington, Taraji P. Henson, Lady Gaga, and Leonardo Dicaprio. The awards were great, but then I scrolled across a video of actress, Jennifer Lawrence, that didn’t sit with me too well. As she was in the press room answering questions from media, she completely embarrassed a reporter and was rude as hell to him. If you haven’t seen the video, take a look below.

Now, it’s clear that English is not this man’s native language and it’s also clear that he was most likely looking at his phone to read the question to her. Her response was beyond rude, condescending, and she probably made that reporter feel so small. While other reporters in the room laughed and made a joke about this whole thing, I saw nothing funny with what she did and neither did a lot of people on Twitter.

Jennifer needs to humble herself and respect people in the media. Her behavior was completely unacceptable and should not be made into a laughing matter.
