Jennifer Lawrence recently announced that she's taking a year off from acting roles to focus on activism. But that doesn't mean that she's leaving show business altogether, as The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Lawrence is working on a new docu-series about the #MeToo movement.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, while Lawrence was in discussion at The Wing Soho on Friday, she "let it slip that she has partnered with former E! News anchor Catt Sadler on a series project." When pressed for further details, though, Lawrence said, "I wasn't supposed to announce that but I am."
One source told the publication that Lawrence and Sadler's show will focus on the #MeToo movement, Time's Up, and the important gender wage gap conversations taking place in Hollywood and around the world.
Lawrence famously stuck up for Sadler after it was revealed that the E! host had left the network after finding out that her salary was a lot lower than that of her male colleague Jason Kennedy.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sadler revealed:
"Jennifer Lawrence has become a friend of mine—really, a hero of mine. Long before my own experiences, her voice has been an empowering one and one I've always admired. To have her in my corner is hard to put into words, to be honest."
Just last week, Lawrence announced that she would be taking a break from making movies to work with the organization Represent.Us. Of the new venture, Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight, "I'm going to be working with this organization as a part of Represent.Us... trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level."
