The Bragger Was A Liar

[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.

    Jennifer Lawrence, who admitted recently that she dropped out of school at age 14 and has no diploma.
    It doesn’t make me think differently of her because I have always thought she was full of it, right down to the fake falls at awards ceremonies.

    Optional: I don’t think less of her, she fooled so many professionals, doesn’t that make her a kick * actress?

    Jennifer Lawrence
    I already am over the whole phony “JLaw being JLaw” shtick. I think everything she does is calculated. And if you think she got all that Oscar love because she DIDN’T shtoop Harvey, I have a bridge to sell you.
    She’s a good actress, everything else about her is a cringe fest

  10. Miss Tink says

    Jennifer Lawrence has come clean about dropping out of middle school at age 14. She doesn’t have a GED or diploma.

    Jennifer Lawrence

    I’m really surprised her parents allowed her to leave school at such a young age.

    Jenn Lawrence

    But honestly she already said she had a penchant for telling fibs and making big stories up as a child.

    Shrug.

    No. I still think she’s an ambitious woman who sleeps around to get Oscar Roles!

    Actress : Jennifer Lawrence

    Jennifer Lawrence already came clean and admitted that she drop out of middle school. She do not have a high school diploma, nor a GED.

    Optional: However it doesn’t change the way I feel about her. However if she feels that she need a high school diploma, or GED maybe she should go back to school and get one.

  28. aaadlove says

    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.

  31. Max Power says

    I got a JLaw vibe from this and google tells me she’s come clean about leaving school at 14 within the last day, so that’s my guess

  32. amesr09 says

    Jennifer Lawrence. It does make me side eye her now but I’ve always found her very pretentious and fake. Guess now I know why.

  35. JHntr113 says

    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.

  38. Amanda2413 says

    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.

  55. BooYeah says

    Jennifer Lawrence.

    I’ve always bought she tries too hard. Tripping and falling, Dorito or Cheeto dust or whatever, quirky and overly friendly in interviews…she wants to come across as dorky in a cool, endearing way. I don’t buy it at all.

  57. GayleStorm says

    Actress: Reese Witherspoon

    I always thought there was a little something off about her. I really don’t care for her. More so in recent years. Every time she opens her mouth, it seems that she is spewing some sort of arrogant BS. Ha, if this is her, my phony baloney meter is correct!

    Why lie about something so stupid especially when you can find out so easily. I hate stupid lies.

  63. Bakomommy says

    Jennifer Lawrence. She came clean today.

    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.

    • 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!)

  71. 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?

  73. Vampira says

    J-Law? She supposedly graduated early, but other reports stated she dropped out. There’s a huge difference between graduating from high school and being accepted into medical school.

  76. Baileygirl says

    Jennifer Lawrence dropped out in middle school.
    I have opinion one way or another so it doesn’t change my opinion of her. If she wants more education she should try to get it.

    • 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.

    • spaceship says

      No shocker at all. I thought most or all in the celeb world lied about one thing or another, it’s just what they do, lol.

    • caligrlth25 says

      It’s obviously her, but the juicy part is when & who was she preggers by?!? And did she date Brad Pitt after saying she hadn’t…oooooh juicy

  78. aaaUh-oh says

    Jennifer Lawrence. I always thought she was overrated anyway.

    Well, that explains why she is friends with Kris Jenner, they are both liars.

    • 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.

  79. 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.

  80. 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.

  82. 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.

    • 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.

  86. Camila says

    JLaw
    Not really. I haven’t been thinking well of her for a couple of years now. Shame. Used to really like her.

  88. rexczarina says

    Julia Roberts saying she wanted to be a vet. But I remember years ago she told Rosie O’Donnell she failed Algebra 2 in high school and if I recall correctly Rosie even high-fived her!

  89. amagod121 says

    “Jennifer Lawrence, COME ON DOWN!”

    Optional: Noooo, I’m not impressed by her “I’m better than you are!” routine but I find it HILARIOUS that she’s been caught out in a whopper! !!! 😀 Sorry to laugh at you, DR. Lawrence!

  90. GrannyGoose says

    Jennifer Lawrence just announced that she quit school at 14 after telling everyone who would listen about her early graduation and stellar grades.

  92. Abcdefg123456 says

    Jennifer Lawrence
    She doesn’t seem too smart. She always comes off as fake and like she’s trying too hard.

  98. Frantastic74 says

    Julia Roberts cuz of pretty clue. I know Sharon stone says she’s smart but been acting more than a decade. Reese from legally blond? Doubt she wd lie.

  100. SugarCookie says

    Jennifer Lawrence! She dropped out of middle school at the age of 14. She lied in interviews claiming she graduated early with a very high GPA from her Kentucky high school. What a fraud.

    • itstarapagain says

      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.
