Ironically, Jennifer Lawrence’s latest movie, “JOY” debuted on Christmas day. I sense a boycott in the air…

Actress Jennifer Lawrence says she’s “embarassed” that she grew up in the same state as Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Lawrence, who has been on a crusade on Hollywood’s gender pay gap, brought up the subject in an interview with Vogue published Wednesday night.

According to interviewer Jonathan Van Meter, the interview took place the day after Davis got out of jail, and Lawrence brought her up because she views Davis as the “lady who makes me embarrassed to be from Kentucky.”

“Don’t even say her name in this house,” she told Van Meter before criticizing “all those people holding their crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking they’re fighting the good fight. I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they are.”
