Jennifer Lawrence has been blasted for calling out a foreign reporter in the middle of a Golden Globes press conference that followed Sunday’s ceremony

The Joy actress, 25, was accused of being ‘rude’ to E!’s Juan Pablo Fernández-Feo during a public outburst in which she told him to stop using his phone when he interviewed her.

Her scathing attack prompted social media users to question whether she had crossed a line with her humour at the Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton Hotel event.

The reporter asked Jennifer how she felt about Oscars night – which will be held on February 28, 2016 and for which she is also expected to be nominated for an award – when she interrupted with: ‘You can’t live your whole life behind your phone bro.

‘You’re just not gonna… You can’t do that. You gotta live in the now,’ she said as she rolled her eyes and wagged her finger at him, prompting the room to descend into laughter.

The actress, looking exquisite in a scarlet dress, had just accepted the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in the Motion Picture Comedy category for her 2016 film Joy.

As the reporter continued his question about the Academy Awards for a second time, she corrected him by saying: ‘We are at the Golden Globes, if you put your phone down, you’d know that.’

Outburst: She rolled her eyes and pulled faces in her humerous manner, but some have called it humourless

Some of those reacting to an online video of the outburst said they felt she had been rude to the reporter, who works on behalf of Latin America’s E! Network, predominantly in Argentina, México and Venezuela.

One fan’s loyalty to the star started to wane, when she commented: ‘I’m a fan of her, but that was kinda rude.’

Burn: The star seemed to correct the reporter when he asked a question about the Oscars, instead of the Golden Globes

Humour: She cracked up the crowd with her comments, but not everyone was laughing

Others were more convinced that Jennifer’s humour has been disrespectful in the past, with one exclaiming: ‘people are just now realizing how rude & disrespectful Jennifer Lawrence is????’

The actress is known for her jovial sense of humour, even sharing a laugh with comedienne of the moment and BFF Amy Schumer, who she defeated in the Best Actress category that night.

But this time, some social media users believed she had crossed a line.

One user said: ‘Jennifer Lawrence tries to be sassy & sarcastic but she always forgets that tiny line where you can become rude and disrespectful’

Taking a gong: Jennifer was on a high after her Golden Globes’ Best Actress win on the night, and seemed to make the room full of reporters laugh

Changing her opinion: One loyal fan of Jennifer’s seemed to be disappointed in the viral video

Disappointed: Another agreed that her loyalty was waning after the rude outburst

Always the way? One social media user seemed to suggest this is always how Jennifer acted

A fine line: Another said she had crossed a line when she disrespected the reporter

Awkward: Some supported the reporter, saying he was just doing his job

Embarrassing: Another pointed out that English may not be the E! writer’s first language

In agreement, another added: ‘jennifer lawrence calling out that reporter was not “quirky”. it was rude and entitled and embarrassed someone just tryna doing his job’

And adding about it being humiliating, one fan said: ‘That reporter didn’t seem to know English very well that was kinda rude of Jennifer Lawrence’

He seemed to agree that he’d been ‘scolded’ and the reporter later shared a selfie, which he captioned: ‘Después de haber sido regañado por #JenniferLawrence en los #GoldenGlobes ✌.’

Which roughly translates to: ‘After being scolded by #JenniferLawrence in the #GoldenGlobes ✌’

Sad face: The reporter, who works for the E! network in Latin America shared a selfie afterwards which seemed to prove he felt ‘scolded’

Winner, winner: The actress won a Golden Globe that night for her role in Joy, pictured, but will also be up for an award at February’s Oscars ceremony – to which the reporter’s question refered
