Jennifer Lawrence shares stern warning for fans in first-ever Instagram post

Jennifer Lawrence has officially joined Instagram – but she’s already threatening to quit.

While The Hunger Games star, 36, earned more than 1 million followers in less than 24 hours on the platform, she’s prepared to throw it all in if even one of them is mean to her.

“So yeah, I am giving it a shot and if anyone says anything negative I will quit immediately, no questions asked,” Lawrence said in her first video.

“If anyone thinks something mean, I will know and I will quit.”

She doubled down on her Instagram Story, writing: “Please be mindful that any mean or aggressive comments can negatively affect the baby. It’s me. I’m the baby.”

Lawrence has taken the handle @jlaw, joking in her bio that “jenniferlawrence was taken”.

She follows 46 accounts, including Miss Piggy, her Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson, all the Kardashian-Jenners (except Rob Kardashian), Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.

Despite becoming one of the biggest stars of her generation thanks to The Hunger Games, Lawrence has been vocal about staying off social media, at least under her own name.

“There is always so much backlash. So many people are listening and paying attention, and they have so many opinions about absolutely everything,” she told InStyle in 2019.

“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.”

However, she admitted in a 2025 interview with Fandango that she had “a secret life on TikTok” after getting into conversations about the Real Housewives franchise.

“I get in fights in the comment section. One girl was like, ‘How old are you? Get a life!’” she said.
