JLaw made the joke when she encountered Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón, who just so happened to recently win about a million Oscars.

A writer for the website, Crushable, wrote: “By her blasé use of the terminology, it seems likely that she’s been lucky enough never to be in a situation necessitating that type of scream, or else I hope she wouldn’t throw it around so casually.”
While celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton wrote: “We know you’re always open and honest in interviews, but COME ON, a rape joke?!?

“We’re sure she thought that what was said at the party was private, but even still, that’s no excuse for a rape joke!! They’re not funny, ever.”
