On September 29, Jennifer Lawrence openly revealed her surprising allegiance in the ongoing fan debate surrounding the Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Contrary to popular opinion, the Oscar-winning actress expressed her support for Team Jeremiah, adding a new perspective to this much-discussed love triangle set in Cousins Beach. Lawrence’s candid confession immediately sparked renewed discussions among fans of the show.
The Actress Explains Why She Prefers Jeremiah Over Conrad
Jennifer Lawrence, who appeared alongside Robert Pattinson in Die, My Love, detailed her stance in a social media video shared by the film distributor MUBI. Despite her friends urging her to keep quiet, Lawrence declared, “I’m Team Jeremiah. I am,” addressing Robert Pattinson, who admitted he wasn’t as familiar with the eccentricities of Cousins Beach’s romantic conflicts.
Lawrence criticized Conrad, played by Christopher Briney, describing him as problematic.
“I think that Conrad is toxic,”
she stated. She elaborated,
“Like, he kind of liked her, but then he didn’t, and he left her hanging.”
Adding to her critique, she pointed out the emotional turmoil caused by the character’s actions, saying,
“And then for him to confess his love to her the night before her wedding is sick.”
Despite the backlash she might face, Lawrence stood firm in her viewpoint:
“I’m Team Jeremiah. Rake me over the coals,”
she said defiantly, siding with Jeremiah, portrayed by Gavin Casalegno, who briefly got engaged to Belly, played by Lola Tung, before she ultimately ended up with Conrad in the final season.
Robert Pattinson Reflects on His Own Fandom Experience
Robert Pattinson, known for his role in the Twilight saga where fans passionately debated Team Edward versus Team Jacob, admitted he was not tuned into the latest TSITP craze.
“I keep intending to watch the show,”
he commented, highlighting the generational gap in fandoms though acknowledging their intensity and appeal.
Jennifer Lawrence’s Broader Passion for Television Shows
Beyond her film career, Lawrence is known to be an avid television viewer, famously enjoying reality series. In January 2024, she shared with Entertainment Tonight her fondness for The Real Housewives franchise, especially praising The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as her favorite installment.
Lawrence also commented on the recent reboot of The Real Housewives of New York City, noting,
“I’m always partial to Beverly Hills,”
before humorously adding,
“I’m relieved by the New York crew, I was nervous, I think they’re going to round out nicely. Everybody seems to have the right personality disorder we like to see.”
She further lauded the season 4 finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, praising the dramatic confrontation involving cast member Monica Garcia and the Reality Von Tease Instagram troll account.
“I mean, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, I just want to give a shout-out to the best finale I’ve ever seen on reality TV,”
Lawrence enthused, giving special recognition to Heather Gay’s now-famous “receipts, proof timeline” moment from the episode.
Impact and What This Could Mean for Fans
Jennifer Lawrence’s public support for Team Jeremiah adds a fresh voice in the widely followed TSITP fandom, especially considering her high profile and influence. Her criticism of Conrad’s character might encourage fans to reexamine the dynamics of the show’s central love triangle and spark new discussions across social media platforms. Meanwhile, Pattinson’s casual approach to the series contrasts with Lawrence’s passionate involvement, highlighting the show’s cultural reach beyond its core audience.
With Lawrence’s growing visibility as a dedicated television enthusiast, her endorsements and opinions are likely to shape fan conversations and possibly attract new viewers to both scripted dramas like TSITP and reality series like The Real Housewives. As the show remains a popular topic, the ongoing debate between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah continues to captivate its audience—and Jennifer Lawrence’s unexpected stance only adds to the intrigue surrounding the story’s emotional complexities.
