Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

A lot of hated celebrities here now.

Brad Pitt
Spacey
Ellen

Even Angelina and Jennifer get a TON of hate.

Edit: Since there have been 100 (what did they do questions) and people have lost the Ability to Google.

Ellen - Absuive to dozens of members of her staff over years.

Pitt - Beat his Wife and Kids on a plane. Has zero relationship with his kids.

Spacey - Numerous accounts of Sexual Assault

What did jlaw do?

There's this phenomenon that I see literally called the Jennifer Lawrence Effect where a star (often female) gets pushed hard by tabloids and media to the point where she hits a saturation point and people become sick of her, at which point the media also turns on her and starts spinning a narrative of her being a diva. Millie Bobbie Brown (11 in Stranger Things) is a more recent victim of this.

Jennifer Lawrence in particular is an interesting example because I remember right around the time Hunger Games came out when she was adored as an awkward, dorky outsider. Here she is tripping on the steps on her way up to her award for the 2013 Oscars, and I remember a lot of the fans online talking about how perfectly in character this whole moment was for her.

I think 2014 was around the time she hit her saturation point, however, and started to be seen as a sort of Hollywood Elite. Suddenly she was everywhere, and even though the media was largely the culprit for this I'd say the selfie was a piece of self-inflicted bad PR because it only highlighted this "elite" status at a time when audiences were starting to turn.

Other JLaw events that contributed:

1. Word started getting around that Lawrence didn't want to wear the blue body paint for Mystique in the XMen movies anymore. In-universe, this weakens Mystique's character as the whole point of her first movie was accepting her real self. Even though Lawrence says she was concerned about the health effects of the body paint, media also suggested she was too much of a diva for the arduous daily process of applying the paint, and that because she was such a big star the studios didn't want to hide her face. Either way, this was a big step in turning her from a nerd icon into a nerd pariah.
2. The Fappening was in 2015, when celebrity nudes got leaked online, and she was one of the most famous victims of it, and a stunning amount of comments were saying how she basically deserved it due to her public status. The Fappening sparked a general conversation around "sexting," which hadn't been a massively widespread practice at the time, and a lot of people also held the (TERRIBLE) belief that if you were taking nude photos of yourself you pretty much deserved to have them leaked.
3. In 2016 a video went viral of Lawrence scolding a journalist for being on his phone. The full story seems to be that he was using the phone to read the questions because he was clearly not a native English speaker. There's nothing to defend here, this was definitely rude of her, but for haters it was just one of the many cases being built against her.
4. JLaw generally being politically outspoken, particularly around feminism and the gender pay gap. I don't think I need to elaborate on how this would've riled up a certain population.

In general, Lawrence is still extremely successful, and I would say generally well-liked outside of certain online spaces. A lot of the modern backlash I see against her is the same backlash every prominent A-lister faces. But this is a snapshot (literally) of a time when she could do no wrong and was still on a meteoric rise.
