Jennifer Lawrence’s “Joke” about Rape Caused Twitter Uproar?

Jennifer Lawrence of "The Hunger Games Trilogy", nicknamed as JLaw, is quite famous for generally speaking out her mind without any filtering mechanism. However, it looks like her latest outburst has landed her in hot water.

According to a Vulture report, Lawrence was at a Cannes Party and was overly excited about seeing "Gravity" director Alfonso Cuaron at the party that she made a joke about rape screams. "I broke out my rape scream for you!" Lawrence cried out while grabbing Cuaron's shoulders and kept screaming out loud right to his face. She was shaking her head acting like a crazed fan or a woman in distress. As Vulture has written, "Cuaron seemed quite pleased with his greeting."

It would seem that many are expecting Twitter to host an international debate about whether or not the public should take JLaw's joke lightly.

However, some Twitter users have commented that there was most likely no "joke" at all and that JLaw, herself, must straighten things out. They believe that there was nothing malicious with the joke she made, if ever she really did hand it out. Here are some sample tweets:

"Shove this article up your ass!! Do the article writers not have life?? Write something worth reading. There is tons of news out there worth writing about! So please find something decent to write about and not some second-hand comment of someone making a joke! Other people make worse jokes than this every day! So, shut up!"

"Oh, please. A harmless joking comment someone allegedly overheard second-hand. Big deal. Didn't see any reaction on Twitter or elsewhere because people (a) have lives and (b) have a sense of humor. So take your malicious article and shove it."

"Oh, come on! All this speculation. Unless there is a video or it's coming from an interview, it's just speculation. Not to mention the fact that Uproxx has already written about the validity of the "displeasure on Twitter" and all the tweets seem to come back to this gossip site. Who paid YOU The Hollywood Gossip to try to make a big deal out of nothing? A few days before X-Men hits theaters? There was no activity on Twitter at all about this. None. I'm not holding an actress accountable to a comment that they allegedly made."
