In a [post published on J-Law’s Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/JenniferLawrence/posts/10154372697786793) on Wednesday, the Oscar winning actor explained that she was celebrating the birthday of a close friend and that she was just having fun. “Look, nobody wants to be reminded that they tried to dance on a stripper pole by the internet,” she wrote. “It was one of my best friend’s birthdays and I dropped my paranoia guard for one second to have fun. I’m not going to apologize, I had a BLAST that night.” _The Hunger Games_ star also used her Facebook post to clear up any confusion when it came to her wardrobe that night, noting that her top was an Alexander Wang top, closing with a modest admission that she thought her dancing was “pretty good. Even with no core strength.” Read Lawrence’s full post below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4782990/jennifer-lawrence-on-dancing-club/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4782990/jennifer-lawrence-on-dancing-club/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Is Decidedly Not Sorry For Having Fun at the Club","datePublished":"2017-05-17T19:21:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:43.522Z","description":"\"I'm not going to apologize, I had a BLAST that night\"","url":"https://time.com/4782990/jennifer-lawrence-on-dancing-club/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Jennifer Lawrence","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dc7d9e9f47ef565/6988c0bea988ca76a66bb8c6/jennifer-lawrence-dior.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dc7d9e9f47ef565/6988c0bea988ca76a66bb8c6/jennifer-lawrence-dior.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of Columbia Pictures' \"Passengers\" - Arrivals","caption":"Premiere Of Columbia Pictures' \"Passengers\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Matt Winkelmeyer—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4782990/jennifer-lawrence-on-dancing-club/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Is Decidedly Not Sorry For Having Fun at the Club"}}]}] ```
