Lawrence revealed that her chic Chihuahua, Princess Pippi Longstocking, now lives with her parents. The reason, she explained, had less to do with love lost and more to do with how profoundly her sense of safety shifted after becoming a mother.
The actress paused before revealing:
“I am really uncomfortable answering this question. She’s alive, she’s with my parents. She did not like New York. I lived on 1st and 67th just to be near the park for her.”
For anyone bracing for the worst, the relief was immediate: Pippi is alive and well.
But Lawrence didn’t stop there. After welcoming her first son in 2022, followed by another baby boy in 2025, she explained that her relationship with dogs changed suddenly and irreversibly.
She put it bluntly:
“After I had a kid, dogs became so scary. My son’s going up to it… and it’s almost like I don’t recognize dogs right now. I just see them as a threat.”
Lawrence shares two sons with her husband, art dealer Cooke Maroney, and framed the decision as one rooted in instinct. Pippi, she noted, never loved city life to begin with, and motherhood sharpened her awareness of risk in ways she hadn’t anticipated.
That anxiety came to a head after a specific incident involving her child, one Lawrence described with her signature blend of shock humor and hyperbole.
Leaning fully into that tone, Lawrence joked:
“One of them bit my son, and that just made me want to obliterate every dog ever. 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.’”

The comment, delivered in Lawrence’s characteristically unfiltered style, spread quickly online. Some viewers recognized it as gallows humor from a new mother processing fear. Others found the language hyperbolic, excessive, and disturbing.
The internet, predictably, split.
One Reddit user offered a more empathetic take in response to the clip:
“Unfortunately I was in this situation myself recently and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I think it’s a lot more common than people want to talk about.”
To be clear, Pippi wasn’t abandoned or surrendered; she was rehomed within the family, to an environment probably better suited to her temperament. When safety concerns arise—particularly with young children—experts frequently note that responsible rehoming is not a failure, but an act of care for both the pet and its humans.
But that nuance didn’t stop criticism from rolling in. Some dog lovers took issue with the decision outright, while others focused on Lawrence’s choice of words.
One Instagram user commented under a clip of the chat shared by E! News:

Lawrence’s history with Pippi complicates that narrative. The actress has long been publicly devoted to the tiny dog, once bringing her as a date to the 2018 BAM Gala and regularly taking her along to dinners and meetings. She has also been famously protective, previously snapping at a paparazzo for getting too close.
In a past interview with Vogue, Lawrence admitted to constant anxiety about Pippi’s safety:
She told Vogue:
“Coyotes, bigger dogs, rattlesnakes, big crows. Every 20 minutes, I have a heart attack. I’m going to be a great mother.”
In hindsight, the comment feels almost prophetic.
The discussion quickly expanded, drawing in even more social media responses:
These days, Lawrence says she’s firmly a cat person. She and Maroney share their home with a cat named Fred, whom she described with affectionate irreverence.
She revealed:
“They’re so misunderstood. They are assholes, and people who don’t like that about cats aren’t getting that that is what is so funny.”
She added that Fred has a habit of entering rooms as if by coincidence, always pretending he just happened to be there.
The Q&A—equal parts uncomfortable, funny, and revealing—mirrored the emotional tone of Die My Love, a dark psychological drama available to stream on MUBI that premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The movie explores motherhood, identity, and psychological unraveling.
The film has drawn critical praise for Lawrence’s bracingly raw performance. Directed by Lynn Ramsay and adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the film stars Lawrence opposite Robert Pattinson and leans into the messier realities of maternal experience—ones Lawrence now understands more than ever.

So, Lawrence’s remarks are less like an episode of Scandal and more like a continuation of her typical public persona: honest, darkly humorous, and uninterested in sanding down sharp edges for societal approval. The dog is fine, and Lawrence remains unmistakably herself.
In the clip, Jesse Watters Primetime producer Johnny Belisario approached Representative Ocasio-Cortez as she was walking on the Capitol campus.
Belisario said Watters would like to have Representative AOC on his show.
He then asked:
"Would you join him?"
AOC responded:
"He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric."
Belisario falsely claimed:
"That’s not true, Congresswoman."
Representative Ocasio-Cortez shot back:
"It is true. It is true, because he accused me of sleeping–of wanting to quote, unquote, sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman? Thank you."
Before Belisario could further deny the truth about his problematic boss, Representative AOC walked away.
You can see the moment here:
Representative Ocasio-Cortez later shared the clip with the caption:
"You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both."
"Good luck!"
In an October episode of The Five, Watters praised Miller using the incel, alpha male, White nationalist rhetoric he espouses.
When asked if MAGA Republican men are intimidated by Representative Ocasio-Cortez, Watters stated:
"No, I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller. It is so obvious. And, I’m sorry, you can’t have him."
Watters continued:
"This is what AOC doesn’t get about men."
"Miller is a high value man, because he has power and influence. Because he has vision, and he’s on a mission to save this republic and protect western civilization. He speaks with confidence and flair, and he’s unafraid of anything."
"Now, AOC may have someone that’s taller, like [California Democratic Governor] Gavin [Newsom]. Or maybe someone who has more distinguished characteristics like Adam Schiff, the Senator who talks like this, or someone with more wealth, like Soros the younger."
"But those men are not brave men. Those men did not protect the country when the country needed it. We had tests throughout the last couple of years. Tests on crime. Tests during Covid and tests with immigration."
"And all of the men that AOC seems to value. They all failed the test and they failed it miserably. Men who are high value men like Stephen Miller take risks. They’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident, and they’re on a mission. And they have younger wives with beautiful children."
"I think I just gave him, like, a dating recommendation."
When Watters was done, his The Five co-panelist Greg Gutfeld responded:
"I don’t know, man, that was pretty creepy."
Watters' reduction of a female member of Congress to a sexual conquest for various men or his characterization of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's tenure in the House of Representatives as a search for a "high value man" is exactly what she accused him of. Perhaps Belisario could review his boss's program transcripts so he's aware of the things Watters says.
People familiar with Watters misogyny concurred with Representative AOC's assessment.

Watters has frequently drawn fire for his fawning worship of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, the men of MAGA, his bizarre rules for "real men," his White nationalist rhetoric, and his misogyny, sexism, and sexualization of women.
During an October appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime by Trump's primary propagandist, Stephen Miller, Watters ended the interview praising the Deputy White House Chief of Staff's sexual prowess.
Watters stated:
"Before we let you go, we just have to address the elephant in the room. We’re getting a lot of texts from women about Miller and his appearances and his appearance."
"Our audience at 'Primetime' believes you’re some sort of sexual matador. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Miller replied:
"I’m married now, I have children, but I wasn’t married that long ago. I was single and I was on the market."
"If you’re a young man—it’s very important in an election season—who’s looking to impress ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive, the best thing you can do is to wear your Trump support on your sleeve."
"Show that you are a real man. Show that you are not a beta, right? Be a proud and loud Trump supporter and your dating life will be fantastic."
The moment was mocked as both extremely creepy and deeply delusional.
In another character defining moment, Watters bragged on air about tampering with a younger female subordinate's car so she'd be forced to accept a ride home from him, giving him an opportunity to hit on her.
Intended to be a romantic story about courting his current wife, people quickly noted Watters' predatory nature and the fact he was already married when he was sabotaging another woman's car to force her into his vehicle.
