Ruby Rose has spoken out in defense of Jennifer Lawrence’s remarks calling her own style “slutty power lesbian.”

In the February issue of Glamour, Lawrence was asked to describe her personal style.

“‘Slutty power lesbian.’ That is literally what I say to a stylist. I don’t know if that’s offensive,” Lawrence told Glamour.

In an interview with The Cut, the “Orange is the New Black” star says that she doesn’t think Lawrence meant anything negative from the comment.

“I hadn’t heard that quote until you told me just now,” Rose says. “But what I do know is that Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress and an amazing advocate for women and women’s empowerment and the wage gap in Hollywood and so many amazing things. I think that is an easy quote to misinterpret or to pick apart. But I know that she has an amazing sense of humor, and for her to say that, I know that would never come from a bad place.”

Rose continued she considers Lawrence an LGBT ally and for that reason knows the remark wasn’t intended to be harmful.

“She’s always spending so much of her time supporting other women and the LGBT community,” Rose went on. “There’s no way that she meant that with any kind of malice. If it was someone else, maybe I would think into it, but because it’s her, I just know what she meant.”
