Jennifer Lawrence has a secret side on TikTok — and it gets messy. The Hollywood favorite revealed in a Fandango promo chat that she slips into the app to spar with haters, trading blows in the comments.

Jennifer Lawrence has a secret hobby, and it is extremely online: she lurks on TikTok and argues in the comments. Yes, really. She dropped that little bomb during a Fandango chat promoting her thriller-comedy with Robert Pattinson, Die My Love. And because the universe has a sense of humor, Pattinson followed it up with his own tale about doomscrolling a site dedicated to hating him. A delightful, deeply human double feature.

JLaw vs. TikTok, the hidden saga

Asked if she keeps a secret fandom, Lawrence admitted she has what she called a secret life on TikTok. Not as a creator. In the comments. Where she fights people. Her words, not mine.

I have a secret. I have, like, a secret life on TikTok. I get in fights in the comment section.

She even shared a recent jab she took from someone mid-scroll:

One girl was like, 'How old are you? Get a life.'

How did this start? According to Lawrence, it began with reality TV debates — Real Housewives, Kardashians, that whole back-and-forth. Then it escalated when she waded into British Royal Family discourse. She says she pointed out that the Mountbattens and the Windsors are related and claimed Queen Elizabeth II married her first cousin. That claim is... not accurate. Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were cousins, but not first cousins. Distant cousins. Still family, but not that close. Lawrence said she was just stating facts and that, historically speaking, cousin marriage was more normalized in the 1940s. Internet commenters did not take it well.

Apparently that dust-up is what really kicked off her secret-commenter era, and she jokes that she basically rage-baits now. Her self-comparison?

I guess I kind of rage-bait on TikTok. I am like Kendra from The Catfish Mom.

If that reference made you squint, you are not alone. It is a very specific, reality-TV-deep-cut kind of thing to say.

Pattinson vs. a hate hub, one comment to rule them all

While Lawrence spars in app comments, Pattinson says he used to haunt a website that existed purely to dunk on him. He thinks it shut down a few years back, but for a while it was a go-to destination for people who, in his words, despised him. He would check it, feel worse, and keep checking it — he called it like staring into a trough.

There used to be this website which had a kind of hub of people who despised me so much. I would go there and just renew my self-hatred.

Then one day he snapped and left a single reply under a thread. Short. Not subtle.

I wrote, 'I hate you all so much.'

Someone immediately replied, 'Rob?' And, according to him, the pile-on basically stopped after that. Not a method I would recommend broadly, but it is undeniably funny that it worked.

Die My Love: what they are actually promoting

All of this was during Fandango promo for their movie, which sounds like an intense genre blend on paper: a thriller-comedy directed by Lynne Ramsay and led by Lawrence and Pattinson, with an excellent supporting bench. Here is the quick-hit rundown, including the current scores floating around — which may shift by release:

  • Title: Die My Love
  • Director: Lynne Ramsay
  • Production companies: Black Label Media, Excellent Cadaver, Sikelia Productions
  • Main cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, Sissy Spacek
  • Current IMDb listing: 6.6/10
  • Current Rotten Tomatoes score: 76%
  • Release: November 7, 2025 (theatrical, worldwide)

So yes, the movie looks stacked. And in the meantime, if you see a suspiciously articulate commenter doing hand-to-hand combat under a TikTok about reality TV or the Royals... maybe do not pick that fight. It might be Jennifer Lawrence.
