Jennifer Lawrence was once forced to perform degrading nude lineup.

Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence once revealed damning information about covert casting practices in the movie industry that left her traumatized.

The American Hustle actor revealed that she was once forced to perform in a nude lineup during an audition.

Recalling her pre-fame period as she was trying to make it as an actor in Hollywood, Lawrence shed light on a particularly degrading audition back in 20- 2017.

Since then, she has become a household name.

The now 33-year-old star believes that it is only because of her prominent position in the industry that she is now shielded from exploitation.

This casts a damning light on the practices that still Prevail in the lower rungs of Hollywood.

Delving back into her past, Lawrence revealed at L’s women in Hollywood event that she was told by producers of a film to lose 15 lbs in 2 weeks.

This dangerous demand came after she was placed in a very vulnerable position during an audition.

During this time, a female producer had me do a nude lineup with about five women who were much, much thinner than me.

She explained we all stood side by side, with only tape on covering our privates.

This experience was then photographed, with the apparent rationale being that the women could then use the images as inspiration for the dieting that they then had to Embark upon for the role.

She added that one girl present during the audition phases was fired, and the reason cited by producers was that she had not lost the weight fast enough.

The means of control throughout this process prayed upon the perilous position everyone’s career is in as they start out.

In Hollywood, it was recently revealed that only 2% of actors make a living solely from the profession.

This competitiveness is heightened even further in Hollywood.

Thus, Lawrence and her fellow hopefuls refrained from becoming whistleblowers on this degrading practice because they thought it would hamper their livelihood to speak out, while guidelines attempt to safeguard against this by recommending that there shouldn’t be any intimacy or nudity during auditions.

This is not enforced.

Intimacy coordinators have been seen as a great stride forward on Hollywood sets, but they are not employed during the audition phase, when actors are perhaps even more vulnerable and prone to exploitation.

Moreover, when we spoke to Heruka Curado, a professional intimacy coordinator, she revealed that there is often still resistance to the guidelines, and getting signed agreements remains challenging.

This therefore blurs the lines of what is practicable and agreed upon, further heightening the uncertainty over their own autonomy that many actors face when placed in vulnerable positions.

Thus, it is perhaps unsurprising that Lawrence’s experience is not an isolated incident.

Since then, skins and Maze Runner star Kaas Scario slammed naked additions and revealed, revealed- that she once lost out on a major role after refusing to strip for a leading director.

Thankfully, she said on this occasion her agent was present and intervened, but said that the experience terrified her and without the support of her agent it could have been far more troubling.

Scott Aio’s comments arrived as several stories of sexual misconduct in the film industry’s audition phases unfurled.

However, these accusations have all since fallen out of the Forefront of public discussion and are subject to Legal counter claims.
