Jennifer Lawrence slams ‘loser’ paparazzi for petting her dog

Never stroke Jennifer Lawrence’s pets. You’ve been warned.

The US actress made sure one member of the paparazzi felt her full wrath after they tried to reach down and pet her dog.

Lawrence was hounded by paps as she made her way out of Los Angeles International airport with her dog Pippi Lawrence Stocking.

Referring to the recent emergency landing Lawrence’s private plane had to make en route to her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky the TMZ pap asked: “Have you been scared off flying private for good now?”

After being ignored he bent down to pet her dog. Lawrence turned around, scooped Pipi into her arms and said: “Don’t touch my dog you f****** loser.”

Lawrence has previously admitted to being a “crazy dog person”.

Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers she said: “If you walk into my home I have an acrylic painting of my dog above my fireplace.”

She continued: “I would never [leave her alone]. I took her to the vet one time and they kept wanting to take her into the back, and they were like ‘People aren't allowed back there,’ and I was like [screaming].

“They were like ma’am you have to be quiet you’re scaring the cats and dogs.”
