		</div><p>Lawrence has spoken for the first time about learning how she earned less than her male co-stars in American Hustle, thanks to the Sony hacking scandal.</p>
<p>The actress said rather than being angry at the studio for paying her less than Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner, she was mad at herself for not being a tough enough negotiator and worrying about appearing to be a “brat”.</p>
<p>In an essay about gender pay inequality for Lena Dunham’s Lenny newsletter, the Hunger Games star wrote: “I would be lying if I didn’t say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight.</p>
<p>“I didn’t want to seem ‘difficult’ or ‘spoiled’. At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the internet and realised every man I was working with definitely didn’t worry about being ‘difficult’ or ‘spoiled’.”</p>
<p>At the end of last year, emails came to light that revealed Jennifer and co-star Amy Adams earned less than their male co-stars in the David O Russell film.</p>
<p>The leaked exchanges between studio executives showed the female stars – who both received Oscar nods for their performances – received seven per cent shares of the film’s profits while the director and the three male leads received nine per cent.</p>
<p>Jennifer said of the events: “When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with d***s, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself.</p>
<p>“I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need.”</p>
<p>Jennifer also questioned whether female stars were “conditioned” to behave in a certain way. “Could there still be a lingering habit of trying to express our opinions in a certain way that doesn’t ‘offend’ or ‘scare’ men?” she wrote.</p>
<p>But she said she had learned to be tougher in future.</p>
<p>“I’m over trying to find the ‘adorable’ way to state my opinion and still be likeable! F*** that.</p>
<p>“I don’t think I’ve ever worked for a man in charge who spent time contemplating what angle he should use to have his voice heard. It’s just heard.”</p>
