NEW YORK, 11 September 2026 (Kamran Raja): Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has warned social media trolls that she will quit Instagram if anyone posts a negative comment on her newly launched account. The 36-year-old actress made her public Instagram debut on Wednesday, quickly attracting more than 1.8 million followers.

Fans responded with messages of support, with Emily in Paris actress Lily Collins, Chicken Shop Date star Amelia Dimoldenberg and Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp among those interacting with her posts.
