Part 6/9:
Hollywood Culture and Victimhood
Lawrence’s grievances extend beyond pay disparity. She has openly discussed political and social issues, including the gender bias in Hollywood and the broader culture of victimhood that some celebrities embrace. Her criticisms often paint Hollywood insiders as disconnected from everyday Americans, which fuels skepticism about her claims.
Critics argue that her narrative is self-serving, particularly considering her history of high earnings. They suggest her complaints are motivated by a desire for sympathy or to position herself as a victim, despite her past earnings surpassing many male co-stars.
