Hey, that thing you said about Jennifer Lawrence to a stranger on Twitter? You may have said it to Jennifer Lawrence.
After very publicly shunning social media in 2014, saying she was “scorned” by the Internet, the Mother! star says she’s back on…
And just hiding quietly.

In a new InStyle interview, Jen was asked why she wasn’t on social media when she made the surprising admission:
“I’m on it. But I’m a voyeur: I watch, I don’t speak.”
Why not just engage completely? That’s an easy one for someone who has “a tendency to say whatever pops into my mind.” She explains:
“There is always so much backlash. So many people are listening and paying attention, and they have so many opinions about absolutely everything. I really don’t want to welcome that unless it’s absolutely necessary. I don’t want to put myself out there for no reason. Unless I’m promoting something or something really burns my onions, you won’t hear from me.”
Obviously we know she made a point to speak out in an essay on gender parity in show business, and it made a big impact.
Maybe keeping quiet until your onions burn really is the best way to use social media…
