Personal interests[]
Veganism[]
Andrews is an animal lover and a vegan. She stopped eating meat at the age of thirteen because she could not stand the thought of eating one of her own animals. She was voted "World's Sexiest Vegetarian" by PETA in 2012. In a 2012 interview with PETA, Andrews stated,
"Ever since I was little I loved animals [...] If you told me I could never model again, I'd say that was horrible, but it's not my life. If you told me I could never be around animals again, I would just die."
Animal rights support[]
In April 2013, Andrews, an animal lover, spoke out with disapproval regarding the Tennessee "Ag Gag bill". The bill makes it a crime to videotape animal cruelty or abuse and then fail to turn in the evidence to authorities within 48 hours. This is to stop animal rights activists from accumulating enough documentation to prove that animal cruelty is routine in big agribusiness. Andrews tweeted, "Shame on TN lawmakers for passing the Ag Gag bill. If Gov. Bill Haslam signs this, he needs to expect me at his front door. Who's with me?" State Rep. Andy Holt responded to her tweet, saying, "I would say that Jennifer Andrews will stick to modeling, I'll stick to lawmaking." Andrews later responded via Twitter, "I should stick to modeling? Wow…sorry, I’m just a tax paying citizen concerned for the safety of my family. #NoAgGag". She also tweeted Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, saying "Please don't sign the Ag Gag bill. Think about the welfare of the animals as well as the consumers. I'm begging you..."
