During a recent episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Jennifer Lawrence addressed the headlines sparked by her remarks about Kourtney Kardashian from an interview last November. Speaking candidly, Lawrence discussed the reaction to her words and offered insight into her experience engaging with the Kardashians in the media.
Background on the Controversial Interview and Comments
In a Vanity Fair lie detector segment filmed in November 2025 alongside her Die My Love co-star Robert Pattinson, Lawrence made striking comments about Kourtney Kardashian, describing her as “more annoying than ever” and expressing how she “drives me nuts.” When asked if she still watched the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which centers on the lives of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and their mother Kris Jenner, Lawrence’s critique focused on Kourtney but also revealed Khloe as her favorite family member.
Lawrence’s Perspective on Media and Press Engagement
Reflecting on the nature of press appearances, Lawrence admitted she prefers to limit her public statements, revealing,
“I think that when I do press I should do half than what normal people (do) because I see my quotes and they’re insane.”
She recalled the media’s tendency to highlight dramatic headlines, citing as an example:
Like, Jennifer Lawrence calls Kourtney Kardashian annoying. It carries.

“My first movie ever was a female director, and I ended up working with more female directors than male directors.”
She further explained her collaborative approach on set:
So, when I went into movies in my 20s and now, I always tell the director and then they include me.
