Recent developments between Hollywood stars Jennifer Lawrence and Emily Ratajkowski have turned into a highly publicized feud that has caught the attention of the entertainment industry. The fallout began over a nude photograph and has escalated to a point where the two actresses reportedly refuse to be in the same room.
Origins of the Feud
The conflict reportedly originated in 2020 when Ratajkowski referenced an art-world scandal involving a nude selfie in her memoir, “My Body.” She claimed that acclaimed artist Richard Prince created a piece based on her image without permission, leading to significant embarrassment for her.
Involvement of Cooke Maroney
Complicating matters, the gallery owner who purchased the artwork in question is Cooke Maroney, Lawrence’s husband. After Ratajkowski’s revelations in her book, the public learned about Maroney’s acquisition, which further ignited tensions between the two stars. An insider shared that it became an unspoken rule within Hollywood for the two actresses to avoid overlapping at events.
- Jennifer Lawrence met Cooke Maroney in 2018.
- They got engaged in February 2019 and married in October the same year.
- They welcomed their first child in February 2022 and their second in 2023.
Hollywood’s Reaction
The feud has created a buzz in the entertainment circles, with reports indicating both stars have separate guest lists at events. Insiders say that if one is invited, the other is usually not, to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation.
Past Controversies Linking the Actresses
The roots of tension may date back even further. In 2013, Ratajkowski was named Esquire’s Woman of the Year, which stirred competition as she gained attention due to her role in the controversial music video “Blurred Lines.” Meanwhile, Lawrence was already an established Academy Award winner.
Both actresses were later involved in a significant scandal in 2014, known as “The Fappening,” when intimate images of many celebrities were leaked. Although both experienced similar traumas, Ratajkowski has publicly addressed Lawrence’s husband in a recent podcast, indicating unresolved feelings about their feud.
Conclusion
Despite sharing mutual friends, including comedian Amy Schumer, the likelihood of reconciliation between Jennifer Lawrence and Emily Ratajkowski appears slim. The ongoing undercurrents of rivalry, rooted in personal and professional experiences, show no signs of dissipating anytime soon.
Representatives for both actresses have yet to comment on the escalating drama. As this feud continues to unfold, it remains a focal point in Hollywood circles.
