Jennifer Lawrence has firmly denied the accusations of a s-xu@l relationship with Harvey Weinstein.
In a statement provided to Magazine, the actress expressed her sympathy for the women victimized by Weinstein, saying, "My heart aches for all the women who fell prey to Harvey Weinstein. I can affirm that I never shared anything beyond a professional relationship with him."
Lawrence further stated, "This is just another example of his predatory strategies and the falsehoods he propagated to lure countless women."
Harvey reportedly asserted having a encounter with Jennifer in conversations with a woman who is currently pressing charges against Weinstein and the Weinstein Company while remaining anonymous. The woman, known as Jane Doe, recalled Weinstein stating, "I had an affair with Jennifer Lawrence and look at where she is now; she just won an Oscar."
At the time of these events, the young woman was aspiring to become an actress.
Harvey's alleged claims occurred during one of several instances in which he allegedly assaulted the unidentified woman.
Jennifer repeatedly denied experiencing any form of harassment from Weinstein during their professional collaboration, as stated in various previous interviews. She mentioned in a podcast interview for The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chattercast Podcast last year, "I heard [Weinstein] had a bad reputation, but he was always almost paternal with me. He never crossed any boundaries with me. I thought we had a good working relationship, and when he acted unreasonably, I called him out on it. In fact, I believe the term I used was 'sadistic monster,' but he was never like that, so it was truly surprising."
While the 28-year-old actress admitted her surprise at the allegations that surfaced, she also emphasized her support for Weinstein's victims. "For the record, although I was not personally victimized by Harvey Weinstein, I stand with the women who have endured his terrible abuse and commend their efforts to bring him to justice, whether through criminal or civil actions," she conveyed in a prior statement to E! News.
Jennifer Lawrence made a point of characterizing it as a "terrible assault" during an interview with Stephen Colbert in 2018, exclaiming, "It's just that repulsive behavior that won't disappear. It's the worst!" during her appearance on The Late Show.
