Jennifer Lawrence is the latest celebrity to share her own “degrading and humiliating” experience as a working actress in Hollywood, in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein allegations.
Speaking at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event, the 27-year-old said a female producer once made her stand in a “nude lineup” as a means to ‘inspire’ her to lose weight.
“A female producer had me do a nude lineup with about five women who were much, much thinner than me,” she told the event, People reports.
“And we all stood side-by-side with only paste-ons covering our privates. After that degrading and humiliating lineup, the female producer told me I should use the naked photos of myself as inspiration for my diet.”
Another producer on an unnamed film also asked her to “lose 15 pounds [almost 7 kilograms] in two weeks”, telling her another actress had already been fired from the project for “not losing the weight fast enough”.
