Responding to the iCloud hacking scandal in a 2014 interview with Vanity Fair, Lawrence said,
“I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”
“It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime;” “It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.” “When I have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what’s happened… I don’t care how much money I get for The Hunger Games.”

Four months after the iCloud hacking incident, Sony’s server was hacked. Jennifer Lawrence ended up being collateral damage in this instance of cybercrime as well, with a lot of information and private emails exchanged between the company and her being put on the internet.
Enough to make an adult cry.
Her take on fame and its repercussions, primarily the invasions of privacy
Lawrence’s work is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over privacy rights in the digital age. Her advocacy has helped to raise awareness of the issue and led to calls for changes to privacy laws. She keeps expressing her feelings about any and all invasions of her privacy every chance she gets, and rightfully so. In a 2016 interview with the folks at Glamour, she said,
“It took a few years to adjust [to fame]. I didn’t really realize how angry and distorted I felt. All I’m trying to do is act. And I have to promote these movies. And I am, at the end of the day, I guess, a f–king lunatic. So if you record what I’m saying, it’s gonna be goofy.”

She also adds that she loves acting and only has a problem with the paparazzi’s invasion of her privacy part of it. She then expresses gratitude, and says,
“I hate the ‘movie star blues.’ We are so lucky, and I love my life; I wouldn’t take any of it back for anything.”
