Jennifer Lawrence faced backlash after she disclosed that she had to rehome her chihuahua, Princess Pippi Longstocking, following an incident where the dog bit her son.

The “Hunger Games” star, aged 35, found herself under fire from fans who took to social media to express their disapproval. The controversy emerged after Lawrence jokingly remarked that she wanted to “obliterate every dog” during a screening of her latest film, “Die My Love,” in New York City on Wednesday.

One Instagram user criticized the actress, writing, “You don’t abandon your dog just because you have kids. You teach your children to respect pets. Wow.” The commenter added, “I really don’t like her now.”

Another fan expressed disappointment, saying, “YIKES. I loved her.. this is so disappointing. I hope people don’t think this is normal behavior.”

Further criticism came from a user who shared their perspective as a pet owner, stating, “I have twins and my dogs are family FOREVER. We are a pack together. A home full of love, respect, loyalty, and time dedicated to all.. DO BETTER JENNIFER.”

Others took issue with the actress’ choice of words like one commenter who slammed her “awful statement” under the post.

“What’s especially concerning is using a massive platform not only to normalize giving up a dog after a preventable incident, but to publicly speak so flippantly about obliterating dogs,” another wrote, taking issue with Lawrence’s tone and choice of words.

“No I don’t think she meant she would actually ever hurt a dog, but that language minimizes their lives, fuels fear and has real world consequences for animals who already pay the price for human failure.”

Still, Lawrence had some fans come to her defense in the comments section amid the onslaught of negative remarks.

“As a professional dog trainer and nonprofit dog shelter founder, this comment section isn’t it. Dog people are some of the most judgmental people around,” a social media said.

“We don’t know the situation. If she felt her dogs were unsafe around children, we should not be judging a mother and a decision she made for the safety of her children. A parent should ALWAYS choose her child’s safety.”

In the clip, the mother of two opened up about how becoming a mother changed her perspective on having pets around her young children.

“After I had a kid, my dogs became so scary,” she said.

“It’s almost like I don’t recognize dogs right now. Like, I just see them as a threat. One of them bit my son and that made just want to obliterate every dog. I was just like, ‘I’m gonna take you out, you and your f—king family and your f–king friends.”

Lawrence went on to reveal that the dogs are now staying with her parents.

The “Die My Love” actress is mom to two sons — Cy, 3, and another baby boy, who was born in 2025 — both of whom, she shares with her husband, Cooke Maroney.
