Jennifer Lawrence isn’t too happy with claims made by an actress who filed a lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, stating that he’d bragged to her that he slept with Jennifer. 

According to Variety, the victim (who is listed as Jane Doe) alleged that Harvey “forcibly performed oral sex on her, repeatedly masturbated in front of her, and threatened to harm her career if she objected.”

The accuser also recalled Harvey telling her, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.” 

Now, the Oscar-winner has made a statement to People magazine, refuting the claims: “My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” she said. “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.”

Harvey’s lawyers eventually made a statement, too:  “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. 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.”
