Jennifer Lawrence may not be sporting a “verified” blue check next to her name on any social media sites, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t lurking around.
The Hunger Games alum revealed she has been active in the social media realm for some time, but only as a voyeur. In her words: “I watch, I don’t speak.”
Her recent statement to InStyle came as a bit of a surprise since the star has been an outspoken opponent of Twitter and other social media sites. In 2014, the actress said, “It’s fine, I respect that, but no, I’ll never get a Twitter. If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it’s me, it most certainly is not.”
And while J. Law has changed her mind about joining the rest of the world on Instagram, Facebook, etc., she still has the same mentality about it’s negativity—hence her role as a watcher. “There is always so much backlash. So many people are listening and paying attention, and they have so many opinions about absolutely everything,” she said. “I really don’t want to welcome that unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
The only time the Silver Linings Playbook star will entertain the idea of posting or tweeting is when she is “promoting something or something really burns my onions,” otherwise her lips are sealed. “I’m aware that I have a tendency to say whatever pops into my mind,” she told InStyle. “So when I go out, I try to be my own personal trainer and tell myself, ‘Don’t say it.'”
Keep your eyes peeled because you never know if that photo-less profile picture is J. Law herself creeping on you.
