Jennifer Lawrence addressed all sorts of multiple bombshells in her latest Vogue interview – including a “bizarre” rumour that she “f*cked Harvey Weinstein”.
Lawrence has a slew of questions thrown her way – 73 to be exact – during which the interviewer asked her the most bizarre thing she’d ever read about herself.
The Hunger Games actress didn’t miss a beat before answering, “That I fucked Harvey Weinstein.”

The rumours date back to 2018, when a lawsuit was filed against Weinstein by an unnamed woman claimed that the director had bragged he’d slept with Lawrence and boosted her career as a payoff.
The actress denied the claims, “My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein. I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him. This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women,” as per Variety.

Lawrence and Weinstein again made headlines last year when she filed a lawsuit against him for performing oral sex in front of her and repeatedly masturbating in front of her. Reps for Weinstein disputed the claims in a statement.
“This lawsuit was filed and updated strategically with no notice given or any attempt to reach out to Mr. Weinstein’s attorneys for one reason; It was meant to embarrass Mr. Weinstein and garner unchecked media attention,” the statement read. “There is absolutely no truth to the malicious claims made in this lawsuit, and we are reviewing our options with an eye on filing for an immediate dismissal.”
“Mr. Weinstein is embarrassed for Ms. Lawrence with whom he has only had a professional and respectful relationship, who has sadly been dragged into this ugly attempt at defamation,” the statement continued. “This filing further proves that anyone can say whatever they want in a lawsuit for maximum shock value, to defame and debase, without having to offer any facts or reality.”
While Weinstein has been found guilty of two counts in connected sexual assault trials, there has been no verdict or settlement in the Lawrence vs Weinstein case.
