#bad behaviour

This director is bad news. Mostly because he had conflicts with many artists in the past, and he's known for his toxic behavior on set

Conflict with George Clooney on Three Kings (1999)

During the filming of Three Kings, George Clooney described his experience as "the worst of his life." According to Clooney, Russell was abusive toward the crew and actors, even going so far as to essentially assault an extra. When Clooney stepped in to defend the extra, Russell allegedly essentially assaulted him, leading to a confrontation between the two.

📹 Incident with Lily Tomlin on I Heart Huckabees (2004)

In 2004, video from the set of I Heart Huckabees was leaked showing Russell yelling and throwing objects during an argument with actress Lily Tomlin. Despite the altercation, Tomlin later downplayed the incident and expressed her willingness to work with him again.

👩‍⚖️ Sexual Misconduct Allegation (2011)

In December 2011, Russell's transgender niece, Nicole Peloquin, accused him of inappropriately touching her at a gym. Russell admitted to the incident, claiming she acted provocatively and was curious about his transition. The case was closed without charges due to a lack of witnesses.

😢 Abuse of Amy Adams in American Hustle (2013)

During the filming of American Hustle, Russell was reportedly emotionally abusive toward actress Amy Adams, to the point that Christian Bale stepped in to defend her. Adams described the experience as devastating and expressed discomfort at seeing others being abused.

🗣️ Controversial Comment About Jennifer Lawrence (2014)

In an interview, Russell compared Jennifer Lawrence's involvement in the Hunger Games franchise to "12 Years a Slave," which drew criticism. He later apologized for the inappropriate analogy.

🤔 Persistence in the Industry Despite Controversies

Despite multiple controversies, Russell has continued to work with renowned actors and has received recognition in the film industry. Some actors have defended his talent, while others have expressed their refusal to work with him again.

And this is what's been made public. Can you imagine what he's capable of doing with the cast and crew of any of his films?

Now, Jenna will be working with him, and I fear something similar could happen to her. She has a bit more artistic clout within the industry, but if Russell was able to have issues with artists with a higher cachet than Jenna's, what could that man do to her?

He longed for a dim-eyed little slut with a big, bright mouth and black vinyl underwear.
