Actress Jennifer Lawrence has hit out at sexism in the film industry in an online essay for Lena Dunham's feminist newsletter admitting that she had failed to tackle the issue out of fear of being labeled "difficult" or "spoiled." She said when she found out from Sony emails leaked last year that she was paid less than her male co-stars in the hit-movie American Hustle, she didn't get mad at Sony but at herself. "I would be lying if I didn't say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight," Lawrence said in her post. "At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realized every man I was working with definitely didn't worry about being 'difficult' or 'spoiled.'"
