"The internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it"
About this Quote
The subtext is about control. For public figures, “going on the internet” isn’t casual scrolling; it’s stepping into a feedback machine that can turn a red-carpet stumble into a weeklong referendum on character. Calling it a black hole frames disengagement as prudence rather than fragility. It also subtly refuses the modern demand that celebrities perform constant digital intimacy. Instead of “I don’t read comments” (which can sound defensive), she offers a cosmic joke that makes absence feel sane.
Context matters: Lawrence rose during the peak of meme culture and tabloid-fueled virality, when authenticity was monetized and backlash traveled faster than press junkets. Her line captures a generational tension: the internet as both career infrastructure and psychological hazard. The charm is in the casualness, but the intent is strategic: don’t feed the machine that feeds on you.
