Jennifer Lawrence just revealed that she recently had to say goodbye to her beloved dog Princess Pippi Longstocking, whom she adopted in 2017.
The Die My Love actress opened up about the situation after a screening of the upcoming film on Wednesday (Jan. 7) at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. During a Q&A session, Lawrence explained that the Chihuahua went to live with her parents sometime after she welcomed her first child.
“She’s alive, she’s with my parents,” Lawrence shared during the event, according to E! News. “She did not like New York. I lived on 1st and 67th just to be near the park for her.”
Unfortunately, Lawrence said that dogs became “so scary” to her after having children, revealing that her son was once bit by a dog.
“After I had a kid, dogs became so scary,” she said. “It’s almost like I don’t recognize dogs right now. I just see them as a threat. One of them bit my son and that just made me want to obliterate every dog ever.”
She continued, “I’m just like, ‘I’m gonna take out you and your f–king family. You and your friends. I’m gonna go to China and take care of your friends over there. Anyone who looks like you is dead.”
While Pippi is now living a happy life with Lawrence’s parents, she says that she still does allow some animals in her home, notably her pet cat, Fred.
She explained that she loves cats’ sassy behavior, referencing the moments that Fred comes into a room and “makes it look like a coincidence” that they happen to be in the same house.
“I have a cat and I feel like they’re so misunderstood. They are a–holes and people who don’t like that about cats are getting that that is what is so funny,” Lawrence shared.
