In a viral clip doing the rounds on Twitter, American actor Jennifer Lawrence has revealed the most bizarre thing she has ever read about herself.
Lawrence was doing an interview with Vogue, where she made a surprising admission in her '73 Questions with Jennifer Lawrence' video.
In response to being asked what was the most bizarre thing she's ever read about herself, Lawrence said: "That I f***** Harvey Weinstein."

The actor has previously had dealings with Weinstein and was forced to issue a statement in 2018 as the convicted sex offender claimed that he'd slept with Lawrence.

The statement read: "My heart breaks for all the women who were victimised by Harvey Weinstein.
“I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him."
She continued: "This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women.”

Weinstein had previously said: “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.”
Lawrence's admission was the first time she'd addressed the claims since her initial statement.
In 2018, Weinstein was hit with a a lawsuit from an actor who had claimed he forcibly performed oral sex on her, repeatedly masturbated in front of her, and threatened to harm her career if she objected.
The former film producer was charged by the New York County District Attorney's Office with 'rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women' in 2018.

As for his trial in 2020, Weinstein was convicted on two of the five criminal charges he was facing by a jury and was found guilty of one count of criminal sexual assault in the first degree and one count of rape in the third degree.
However, he was found not guilty of predatory sexual assault, which could have led to a life sentence.
Later in March, the producer was sentenced to 23 years in prison and was stripped of his honorary Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Award in September 2020.
After his sentencing, Weinstein said he planned to appeal his sentence, which was then delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

A verdict was finally read out in June 2022 which upheld the original verdicts and judgment.
Judge Angela Mazzarelli said: "We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence, and we have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing."
Weinstein was granted another appeal in late August 2022.
