Jennifer Lawrence played Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games.”

Lawrence claimed she was the first female lead in an action movie.

She said women were mistreated in the industry.

Lawrence said she is happy whenever a movie trumped the industry’s narrow beliefs.

Her claim to be the first female action lead was met with heavy backlash from movie buffs.

Netizens listed actresses like Uma Thurman and Halle Berry, who played lead action roles before her.

Some fans defended Lawrence’s statement.

Lawrence opened up on being self-conscious about her limited education.

She gave birth to her first child in February for husband Cooke Maroney.
