Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence announced on Monday that she was forced by a female producer to audition in a ‘nude lineup’ as a young actress.
When Jackie O asked her radio co-host Kyle Sandilands if he found the producer’s request ‘terrible’ during a segment on their Kyle and Jackie O Show on Wednesday, the shock jock said he didn’t.
‘I don’t… like if you’re filming a film and the actress has to be nude and it’s sex scenes and everything, then you have to see what’s going on,’ he explained.
‘You have to see what’s going on’: Kyle Sandilands says he doesn’t ‘find it terrible’ Jennifer Lawrence was forced to audition in ‘nude lineup’ as a young actress… but agrees they could have done it ‘with a little bit more privacy’
Jennifer made the allegations at the Elle Women In Hollywood event, claiming: ‘One girl before me had already been fired for not losing enough weight fast enough.’
‘During this time [auditioning as a young actress] a female producer had me do a nude line-up with about five women who were much, much, thinner than me.’
Co-host Jackie O, who played the audio of the speech to Kyle, asked: ‘Don’t you find that terrible?’

‘I don’t’: After co-host Jackie O Henderson appeared surprised, he added: ‘If you’re filming a film, and the actress has to be nude and it’s sex scenes and everything, then you have to see what’s going on’
‘No. Not really,’ he replied, ‘There’s some unnecessary stuff, but I don’t find the nude lineup a problem though.’
‘Give me a break,’ Jackie clapped-back, surprised by the shock jock’s stance.
Kyle clarified, insisting the lineup would have only been helpful if there was going to be sex scenes in the film, and in the end conceded it wasn’t the best way to go about it.
‘Some unnecessary stuff’: ‘There’s some unnecessary stuff, but I don’t find the nude lineup a problem though,’ he continued
Kyle admitted: ‘They could have done it with a little bit more privacy.’
During the segment, Jackie O also explained that the comments from Jennifer were in light of the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal.
Jennifer, who also made claims against male directors asking her to ‘star in a porno,’ was also joined by Reese Witherspoon at the event, who made similar allegations.
Concession: After saying the lineup would have been helpful if there was going to be sex scenes in the film, he eventually conceded: ‘it could have been done with a bit more privacy’
