Jennifer Lawrence praises pal Amy Schumer for her mettle in standing up for causes she believes in amid 'immense fire'


The Silver Linings Playbook actress said she understands that women in show business are often closely scrutinized.

Lawrence continued: 'I wouldn't say she navigates it so much as she throws her middle fingers up and walks away from negative comments like a gas station fire in a Michael Bay movie.' The Silver Linings Playbook actress said she understands that women in show business are often closely scrutinized: 'At this point, the expectation for scrutiny is so embedded in my DNA, I wouldn't know how to operate differently.' Schumer told Variety about an instance in March in which she was verbally abused, months after stating her support for Israel following Hamas' October 7 attack on a music festival, triggering the ongoing heightened conflict in the Middle East.
