When Jennifer Lawrence broke onto the scene with The Hunger Games, the Internet was entranced with just how down-to-Earth and relatable she was. Now after countless magazine shoots, high-profile movies, and an Academy Award win, it seems like there is a small backlash in the making against her. And during an interview with Marie Claire, she admitted to being aware of it. Not only can she feel it, but she said she even agrees with it.
"Honestly, I'm just doing my best,” she told the magazine. “But if people want to start the backlash, I'm the captain of that team. As much as you hate me, I'm ten steps ahead of you."
It’s not often that a Hollywood A-lister admits to hating herself, but hey, she is relatable after all. Maybe her candor can turn the tide of hatred back into her favor, especially with quotes like this:

Is it possible to have a backlash against a celebrity who openly admits to being the captain of her own hater team? We’re not sure, but it must be infuriating for anyone who tries.
