In November 2013, Lawrence joined Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer for a 40-minute interview as part of her The Hunger Games: Catching Fire promo tour. During their exchange, audience members were invited to pose questions and one man took the opportunity to ask Lawrence about body positivity on behalf of his daughter. Reading off his phone, he asked, "Having experienced body image criticism in Hollywood, what is your advice to young girls dealing with the same treatment from their peers and your response to those who judge others based on appearances?"

"Screw those people," the actress immediately declared, receiving major applause. "You just have to look past it. You look how you look and be comfortable. Like, what are you going to do? Be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That's just dumb," she added before calling out Joan Rivers' hit show, Fashion Police.

"Shows like the Fashion Police, and things like that, are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on things that — they put values in all the things that are wrong," she said. "And that it's okay to point at people and call them 'ugly' or call them 'fat.' They call it 'fun' and 'Welcome to the real word' and it's like, that shouldn't be the real world... It's disappointing that the media keeps it alive and fuels that fire," the actress concluded.  

Rivers was none too impressed with Lawrence's comments and she took to Twitter to let the world know, clapping back, "It's funny how Jennifer Lawrence loved [the show] during Awards Season when we were complimenting her every single week." She returned just a few minutes later to add, "WAIT! It just dawned on me why Jennifer Lawrence fell on her way up to the stage to get her Oscar. She tripped over her own arrogance."

In December 2013, Rivers appeared to still have Lawrence's criticism on her mind, as she told Page Six, "My New Year's resolution is [ensuring] Jennifer Lawrence grows up and realizes how lucky she is and calms down." And she didn't stop there. Rivers kept the shade coming as she added, "I love that she's telling everyone how wrong it is to worry about retouching and body image, and meanwhile, she has been touched up more than a choir boy at the Vatican," she quipped in her signature controversial style. "Look at her posters. She doesn't have a nose, she has two holes. She just has to learn, don't talk if you're doing it."
