Jennifer Lawrence's Recent Late-Night TV Appearance Has the Internet *Very* Upset
The actress is being accused of cultural insensitivity.


Jennifer Lawrence is doing the promotional rounds for her new film Passengers, and as such showed up on the Graham Norton Show and told what she presumably *hoped* would be a light-hearted story about the time she accidentally dismantled a sacred rock pile in Hawaii.
Unfortunately, the story—in which Lawrence says she unintentionally sat on a pile of sacred rocks to relieve an itch—was a miss for a lot of people who voiced concerns over potential cultural insensitivity.
"Hey Hawaiians, I scratched my ass with your sacred stones, broke one, almost killed a man, and 😂 at your spirituality."-Jennifer Lawrence https://t.co/1ihjGuddVyDecember 7, 2016
She rubbed her butt on a monument ppl used to spiritually represent their ancestors n she thought it was cute https://t.co/viCdjKvaD1December 7, 2016
Of course, some people came to Lawrence's defense:
And suddenly everyone hates Jennifer Lawrence for the same reason they liked her. Not like she changed just hit a touchy subject.December 8, 2016
The actress has yet to comment on the incident.
