Somehow Jennifer Lawrence never had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein, but she “wanted to kill him” when she first heard dozens of women come forward with allegations against him.
The 27-year-old actress who worked with Weinstein on “Silver Linings Playbook” has been criticized for speaking favorably about the disgraced Hollywood executive, but she wants to see him locked up just as much as the next actress.

“No, he was never inappropriate with me,” Lawrence reaffirmed in an interview with “60 Minutes” that ran on Sunday. “But what he did is criminal and deplorable. And when it came out and I heard about it, I wanted to kill him. The way that he destroyed so many women’s lives. I want to see him in jail.”
Just last week ,the Academy Award-winning actress ripped Weinstein to shreds after finding out that he used her own words in his defense against a handful of his accusers. (RELATED: Meryl Streep And Jennifer Lawrence Fire Back At Weinstein)
“Harvey Weinstein and his company are continuing to do what they have always done, which is to take things out of context and use them for their own benefit. This is what predators do, and it must stop,” Lawrence told TMZ.

“For the record, while I was not victimized personally by Harvey Weinstein, I stand behind the women who have survived his terrible abuse and I applaud them in using all means necessary to bring him to justice whether through criminal or civil actions. Time’s up.”
