[Blind Gossip] For more than a decade, this pretty movie actress bragged – yes, bragged! – about her educational accomplishments.
She told everyone that she graduated from high school early in an accelerated program. She said that she graduated with a nearly perfect grade-point average. She even told people that had not become an actress, she would have gone to medical school!
Now we’re finding out that it was all a lie. One casting director told us:
Actors lie about little things all the time (like their age or their weight), but this was a whopper. It’s like she fabricated this whole other person because she wanted you to think she was practically a genius. When someone tells that big of a lie, it makes you wonder what else they lied about: The time she said she was too sick to work, the time she said she wasn’t pregnant, the time she said she wasn’t dating a certain guy, the time she said that [producer] never made a move on her, etc. There are a lot of people in the industry who are now questioning a lot of what she has said in the past and wondering if she has been conning them on other things all along.

I think this is Reese. Has J Law really been around for a decade? Reese recently said she would be a top surgeon or something if she wasn’t an actor!! I think its her!!
fromanotherworld says
The clue from the photo I think this is Reese Witherspoon the movie “legally blonde”.
She once said :” I’m going to med school!” in a interview. She wanted to be a doctor like her father, and was given the nickname “Little Type A” by her parents.
cocobeans says
This is clearly J.Law.
To answer the side question, I never had a high opinion of her to begin with. As a fellow Kentucky Native (and someone who met her) I’ve always found her comments so insecure ridden and just plain stupid. It’s her handlers’ fault. They’re making her look super foolish.
xxgossipgirl90 says
My wild guess is Natalie Portman. I don’t think anyone would be fooled into thinking that JLaw is a genius.

If it is Jennifer Lawrence and Harvey is the leak, then he was no doubt holding it over her, so she came out with it before he did. After all, he could not have been too appreciative of her calling him out last week. It isn’t such a big lie; she was embarrassed and covered it up. Like no one else has done that in Hollywood! And now Harvey got what he wanted – a preemptive strike against her if she ever comes forward…
GretaGuesses says
Jennifer Lawrence
I have never thought much of her anyway and think she’s way overrated. This does explain her 13-14 year old mentality and her being an obsessed fan of the Kar-Jenner Koven.
alaskasmia says
I don’t have a guess quiet yet, but I don’t think this is about Jennifer Lawrence. I did some digging and found an interview she did from 2013 where she says she never completed highschool. So, this information has been out for awhile.
It seems like she would be the obvious answer given her recent interview, but it almost seems too easy a guess given that she’s been open about not finishing school in the past.
alaskasmia says
In the old interview she also referred to herself as uneducated.
blossipqueen32 says
Not Jennifer Lawrence guys because the article states:“The time she said she was too sick to work, the time she said she wasn’t pregnant,”
It would have to be someone who was pregnant.

I would lie about that too, so no I don’t feel differently about her bc of that. I didn’t like her story of throwing a beer in some guys face that she shared on some late night thing. I think we have a mob mentality and now she’s in the cross hairs. I’m done with women being labeled “evil” for being human. I like her AND Goop. Gasp!

Doesn’t change how I think of her. She’s never been a fave of mine. I would guess a lot of actors lie. They want to be liked, so they say what they think people want/expect to hear. And I also think a lot of them have managers/agents who urge them to spin tales.

I can only think of J Law because of her upcoming 60 minute interview where she says she dropped out of middle school.
But has she been around for a decade, I don’t remember a time where she was supposedly pregnant but lying, and she has said in prior interviews if she wasn’t an actress she would be a Nurse – that’s not medical school.
But this has to be her. I don’t care if she lied, everything in Hollywood is a lie.

Jennifer Lawrence. Maybe she confused herself with one of the characters she’s played.
I never knew she bragged about her education, though. I thought she stopped school after high school, like most of these actors do. She acts like a 14 year old and has the vocabulary of one, too.

Jennifer Lawrence dropping out at age 14.
Honestly, she could’ve just been very embarrassed about being a poor student and leaving school so young; she was a middle school drop out after all. She said that she never felt smart or made good grades. Low self esteem can cause ppl to tell things the way they wished they’d been, rather than how they actually were. I’m not ready to write her off as total con artist.

I’m more upset she was allowed to drop out at 14. Child actors are supposed to have on set tutors to make sure this doesn’t happen. Who the he’ll dropped the ball. I blame the adults.

I didn’t think a person was allowed to drop out until age 16.

jj the great says
You’re allowed to drop out at 14 or 15 in most states with parental consent (basically, it seems like, most states allow kids to drop out once they’re in HS with consent), then at 16, you can drop out on your own accord whether your parents want you to or not. I live in NY, and I know here you can drop out at 15 with parental consent, 16 on your own (which I remember thinking was so weird in HS, bc by 16 you only have a year and a half left – & you already made it 10 years!)

emptychorus says
It’s Jennifer Lawrence, and while I don’t care whether she dropped out or not, it’s a weird thing to lie about. Lying about your age so that you can get roles they’d otherwise dismiss you is pretty normal, but to make up a degree and specific GPA suggests a deep-seated insecurity. Don’t think it makes her a bad person, though.
NativeAtlantaGirl says
She claimed in interview yesterday that she didn’t regret it and she wasn’t ashamed… If you aren’t ashamed, you don’t lie repeatedly about something.
Perhaps she should use her “year off” to get her GED – she is so brilliant and all, she should nail that in no time, right?

zappy2050 says
This is definitely JLAW. Listen – by now we all know that Hollywood is fake and to get ahaed you need to lie and sleep around/with with those in power. I am not saying it is right – quite frankly it is predatory and sleazy – but this is the game everyone signed up to play and EVERYONE knows the rules going in.

Mia444 says
Definitely overrated as an actress and pretty much average looking. I now side-eye all these marginally talented actors (male & female) who seemingly come from nowhere and book leads in TV and films. I assume many (most?) of them suffered with their own version of Harvey W to get there and that’s really sad. I wish there was one genuine, talented, honest person in Hollywood, just because.
Blkgoddess says
Me too.
Raoul Duke says
JLaw
Eh, I was never much of a fan. She isn’t funny, her acting is mostly looking miserable or constipated. This isn’t the first lie, she lied about Miley/stalking John Stamos/”falling” at award shows. Taylor get guff about presenting a certain image/brand but JLaw has been far more cunning crafting hers.
nycmadam says
J Law
I still admire her acting abilities, but she does seem to be kind of a jerk. Even though she’s older now, she still often acts in public like a bratty teen so no, I don’t like her as much as before, but would still watch a movie she is in, though.

tellmemore says
Jennifer Lawrence. I just found an old article that said she graduated high school 2 years early with a 3.9 GPA. Why? The only reason I can think of is to keep from having to be tutored on-set, which is probably required by law. That’s a lot of effort to go to just to avoid getting a *basic* education. If she had trouble in regular school, being privately taught in a small setting might have really helped her. Going public with this info was really stupid & bragging about it shows her ignorance
redstilettos says
It doesn’t make sense. You’d think her parents would want her to get a basic education. My niece had a hard time in high school due to social issues and got her GED at 16 and aced it. However, she’s naturally smart.
Annaliese says
This is Jennifer Lawrence. Intellect is hard to fake.
ChattyCat says
Brilliantly…and succinctly…put ?
If doing well in highschool is your greatest academic achievement then it’s safe to assume you’re not that bright. Bragging about that is just embarressing.

And the crazy thing is how easy this is to prove or deny. There would be a record at the alleged high school of attendance, classes and grades. End of story. Really strange. Well she fits right in there with the dumber than average K/J Klan. Telling lies easily disproven then lying again over and over.
