Jennifer Lawrence claims certain male co-stars 'punished' her for refusing to sleep with them during filming
Jennifer Lawrence has alluded to some male co-stars 'punishing' her for not wanting to sleep with them.
The Oscar-winning star appeared on the Las Culturistas podcast to talk about her new film, Die My Love.
Lawrence co-stars with Robert Pattinson in the film and had nothing but nice things to say about him in her interview.
She said: “We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did, but we didn’t really… I felt really safe with Rob.

“He is not pervy and very in love with [his partner] Suki [Waterhouse]. We mostly were just talking about our kids and our relationships.”
She added: “There wasn’t any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’ If there was a little bit of that, I would probably have an intimacy coordinator."
Intimacy coordinators are becoming more commonplace on sets to ensure that performers are comfortable while filming scenes involving sex, nudity, or other sensitive topics.
An intimacy co-ordinator will typically sit down with performers involved in a scene to discuss boundaries during the performance and ensure that everyone involved feels comfortable during filming.
But while Lawrence heaped praise on Robert Pattinson, she explained to horrified hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers that, sadly, his behaviour was notable for being unusually good
She said: “A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to f**k them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that."
The hosts were clearly shocked by Lawrence's claim, with Rogers saying: “Just a little cute social punishment.”
In response, Lawrence quipped in an exaggerated tone, like someone saying 'it's for a friend': “I’ve just heard of this, I’ve never experienced it…”
As for her co-star, though, Lawrence couldn't say enough positive things about him.
She described Pattinson as 'exactly what you would imagine: a folksy British guy and just sweet and not dramatic and really laid back'.
The new movie, Die My Love, is about a new mother who develops postpartum depression after she and her partner move from the city to a more rural area.
As things escalate, her condition worsens, and she becomes increasingly detached from reality.
The film is based on the 2012 novel Die, My Love (translated from 'Matate amor') by Ariana Harwicz, and currently has a rating of 77 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Die My Love has received generally favourable reviews, with critics praising Lawrence's performance.
