Jennifer Lawrence stunned viewers with her emotional performance in David O.

She quickly picked herself up and proceeded up the stairs.
In an interview with W Magazine, Lawrence offered some insight into the mishap. “I was sitting there and I remember … something was running through my head like ‘cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk,’ and I was like, ‘Why is cakewalk stuck in my head?’” As she took to the stairs and her dress started to get trapped beneath her feet, she remembered. “Kick, walk” was the actual phrase she needed to tell herself. She explained, “You were supposed to kick the dress out while you walked, and I totally forgot because I was just thinking about cake.”
Following the ceremony, CNN’s Anderson Cooper insinuated that Lawrence had faked the fall. Years later, Lawrence opened up about her reaction to his remarks on Heather McMahan’s “Absolutely Not” podcast. “It was so devastating because it was this horrific humiliation to me,” she revealed.
