Getty ImagesJennifer Lawrence's op-ed about wage inequality has struck a chord with many women in Hollywood, including Amy Schumer and Dakota Johnson.
Both Schumer and Johnson opened up to E! News at Elle's Women in Hollywood Awards, telling Catt Sadler that J.Law's essay was a powerful statement in a time where women are starting to really talk about the inequalities they face, whether it's in the form of salary or roles they're offered.
"First of all she's the best, and I'm so proud of her," Schumer gushed about her pal Lawrence. "I thought that was so badass. I of course support wage equality and all equality, but if we just raise the minimum wage...that would take care of everybody."
The Black Mass actress also weighed in on the Oscar winners powerful words, echoing Schumer's sentiments and saying how spot on Lawrence was in her essay.
"I thought it was great," Johnson said. "She's a bold woman, and I appreciate that. I think that it's a good time for changes to be made in the way women are treated in Hollywood."
Of course, it's not only women who are speaking up in support for The Hunger Games star's words. Bradley Cooper, with whom Lawrence has worked with plenty of times, also weighed in on his pal's Lenny Letter contribution. "One thing I could say is that's interesting because if you think that you only deserve a certain amount and that's not correct, it's about changing that mindset and sticking up for yourself the way that Sienna did," he shared with E! News last week. "So that's a great thing."
In her op-ed, Lawrence admitted that she "failed as a negotiator" before signing on to American Hustle because she "gave up early." She also explained that her desire to be liked ultimately inhibited her ability to ask for more money out of fear that people wouldn't find her as endearing.
"When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn't get mad at Sony," the 25-year-old actress wrote while referencing her American Hustle deal. "I got mad at myself."
Lawrence hopes that her words and candid confessions will help further the conversation about wage inequality because she doesn't think she's "the only woman with this issue."
