- Jennifer Lawrence said she was shocked by the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
- Weinstein was "was always almost paternal" to Lawrence while she was an actress.
- Dozens of women are accusing Weinstein of rape, sexual harassment, or sexual assault.
Jennifer Lawrence said she was shocked by the sexual assault scandal that destroyed the career of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein, Lawrence said, was almost like a father to her.
"It was bizarre. I had heard that he was a dog," Lawrence told the Awards Chatter podcast at the Hollywood Reporter. "But he was always almost paternal to me. He was never inappropriate with me."
Weinstein distributed Lawrence's 2012 movie, "Silver Linings Playbook," for which she won a best actress Oscar. The two both also appeared in the 2014 documentary "Dior and I."
Dozens of women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault, harassment, or rape. Through a network of spies, legal maneuvers, and settlements, he kept his alleged systemic abuse of women a secret, according to reports. Since news of Weinstein's alleged sexual improprieties broke, there have been more stories about reportedly abusive men in Hollywood.

Lawrence said she and Weinstein had a warm relationship before news of his allegedly abusive behavior broke.
"I thought that we had a nice relationship where, when he acted like an a------, I called him an a------. I actually think the word I used was 'a sadistic monster' — but it was just never of that nature, so that was really shocking," she said.
Lawrence also said that, while she has never been sexually abused in her career, she had been the victim of misogyny in Hollywood. After Sony Pictures was hacked in 2014, leaked emails showed that Lawrence was underpaid compared to her male costars. Nude photos of her were also hacked and leaked to the web.
"I had been objectified, I had been, you know, obviously, not paid equally, I had been violated by a hacker," Lawrence said. "But I have never had a man use his power to sexually abuse me."
