claim: Stan Lee fired Jennifer Lawrence from an upcoming film due to his belief she disrespected President Trump.
origin: After actressÂ Jennifer Lawrenceâ€™s comments on hurricanes and climate change were misconstruedÂ by commentators and clickbait web sites in September 2017, the â€œsatireâ€ web siteÂ Our Land of the Free followed up with a page claiming the falsely represented comments had earned her a stinging reproach from Stan Lee: < After stupid liberal Jennifer Lawrence made a fool of herself by blaming Hurricane Irma on junk science and Trump supporters, she found out just how â€œinfluentialâ€ she actually is. She came home from Paris this morning to the news from Universal Worldwide that she will NOT be returning as the beautiful blue â€œMystiqueâ€ in the next chapter of X-Men movies. Lawrence, a notorious crybaby, is said to have broken down when she heard that the decision came from Stan Lee himself, the mastermind behind the Marvel Universe. Lee told TMZ: â€œThat young lady needs to learn some respect. Even if you donâ€™t agree with Trump, you still have to respect him and treat him like heâ€™s the President. He called and asked me to fire her, so I fired her. Done.â€ > The article refers to comments Lawrence made to a British television station in which she said that human activity had caused global warming, and that hurricanes felt like â€œnatureâ€™s wrath.â€ She also, without referring to Donald Trump by name, said â€œthe only voice we have is through voting.â€ Several outlets drummed up aÂ nontroversyÂ by claiming she had linked the hurricanes to Trump.Â Stan Lee did not fire Jennifer Lawrence. A disclaimer notice on Our Land of the Freeâ€™sÂ AboutÂ page warned readers that its content is â€œfakeÂ newsâ€œ (and the URL not-so-subtly stated â€œstan-lee-hates-you-idiotsâ€): < Ourlandofthefree.com makes no guarantee that anything you find here will be based at all in reality.

A similar embellishment spread by the site involved a letter President Obama left for President Trump when he took office.
