Jennifer Lawrence hatte am Set nie das Gefühl, David O. Russell würde mich erniedrigen oder anschreien: „Wenn ihm etwas nicht gefiel“, würde er sagen: „Das war schrecklich.“ Sah aus wie S—. „Mach es besser“

> “I really felt like with David that was his way of communicating in a non-bullshit way. I never felt like he was degrading or yelling at me,” Lawrence said about Russell’s set behvaior. “If he didn’t like something, he was just like: ‘That was terrible. Looked like shit. Do it better.’ And that was a very helpful conversation. How so? ‘I don’t know. Slower! Not so loud!’ I’m not sensitive. I don’t know how you can be in this industry.”

His „approach“ may have been fine for Lawrence, but after seeing the video of him yelling at and insulting Lily Tomlin while no one even came to her rescue despite a room full of crew and costars bearing witness, I really can’t understand how anyone can defend his behavior toward talent. God only knows how he treats crew.

At the end of the day, David O. Russell is still a working director and got a movie with Christian bale and Nicolas cage coming out

Also Jennifer Lawrence is known to not take a lot of shit personally unless it’s something crazy like the leak of her nudes

I think Jennifer comes across like a really cool, rootable person a lot of the time, but I don’t think she hears herself at all here.

What she is describing **is rude and arguably degrading behavior**. That she then says wasn’t either thing. Then she says people in this industry are too „sensitive.“

Eyeroll.

DOR’s tantrums and awful behavior are a repeated matter of record. He’s done it to a ton of people (plenty of A-list actors and he was reportedly worse to the crews) but kept managing to make good movies so he got a pass for the behavior.

But look at his abusive treatment of Lily Tomlin, caught on camera. Look at his notoriously cruel treatment of Amy Adams, which he himself didn’t even deny.

The guy gets away with all this because people give certain industry men so much leeway — he’s not an asshole, he’s „talented,“ he’s „a genius,“ it’s „worth it.“

Screw that. He made Amy Adams cry. JLaw can excuse him all she wants but as far as I’m concerned he’s abusive trash who shouldn’t be allowed to keep working.

„I’m X and I’m not offend by…“ ass statement.

He has a lot of actors that have worked on multiple films with him, including Lawrence, Cooper, DeNiro, Bale…and there really hasn’t been a reported issue since the leaked footage which Lily Tomlin has not said anything negatively about it.

Does she still want to buried to this piece of shit? That’s still the cringiest thing I’ve ever heard an actor say.
