After an October [interview with MTV News](http://time.com/4057919/jennifer-lawrence-liam-hemsworth-josh-hutcherson-camp-mockingjay/), during which Lawrence said that she almost never washes her hands after going to the bathroom, the 25-year-old actress has been repeatedly questioned about her personal hygiene habits. Now, she is coming clean about the truth. Lawrence took to Facebook on Monday to put the hand-washing rumor to bed. “I hate talking to the Internet but I can’t get asked another question about my hygiene on this press tour,” she wrote. “Of course I wash my hands after going to the bathroom! (I can’t believe I’ve put myself in a situation where I even have to say that.) Anyway with all the rumors I’ve ever heard about myself this is the one I really had to put to rest.” Of course, in typical J-Law fashion, the statement was accompanied by a comical video joking about the whole situation.
