Actress Anne Hathaway has come out in support of her colleague Jennifer Lawrence, who has been bashed for telling a journalist off an interview at 2016 Golden Globes.
Lawrence, 25, scolded the foreign reporter for not looking up from his phone while asking her questions. Twitterati accused her of being rude to the journalist.
33-year-old Hathaway, in a long Facebook post, said the matter was taken out of context, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Dear the Internet, It's become pretty clear that the Jennifer Lawrence 'scolding' was taken out of context and that she was dryly joking with a journalist who was indeed using his phone to take photos of her," Hathaway began her post.
"Let's not continue the sad but common practice of building people - especially women- up just to viciously tear them down when we perceive them to have misstepped. Jennifer is a beautiful, talented, wildly successful, popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman."
Hathaway, an Oscar-winner herself, asked fans to "please let us not punish her for these things" before signing off the post with a "Sincerely, A J-Law fan" fan and the hashtags "#?supportstrongwomen?" "#?imwithher?" and #?whycantwegiveloveonemorechance?.
