"I was really just devastated on set", and most days she (Adams) returned home devastated too. "I mean, not every day, but most." Imagine being so awful and abusive that you made Amy Adams cry almost everyday? https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/amy-adams-arrival-nocturnal-animals-tom-ford …pic.twitter.com/1h7Tvg6GSq

From looking at Russell’s directing credits, his films are predominantly white. so… are the Black actors (John D. Washington & Zoe Saldana) who are tied to the film not worried…? Dude seems unhinged. I can’t imagine that set being a safe space for them.

This thread is never ending. It’s unsure of what he said or did, but David O. Russell was so “nasty” to Sally Field that he made her cry at a party…pic.twitter.com/nqCNvIJ5tX

Jude Law dropped out of David O. Russell’s film to do a Nolan film. Russell wasn’t jazzed about this. When he ran into Nolan at a party. He put Nolan in a HEADLOCK & proceeded to ask Nolan to give up Law to show “artistic solidarity.” Next day Law was back on Russell’s film.pic.twitter.com/Wir71z8N9k

David O. Russell sexually assaulted his trans niece. He is vile. It baffles me that anyone in Hollywood would want to work with him. How can anyone call themselves a trans ally then work with David O. Russell? This is a failure to the trans community.pic.twitter.com/P94oH9MwP2

According to THR, the film already wrapped. 20th Century Studios plans to release it, but no date has been confirmed. Has 20th Century Studios released a statement yet? How on earth can they market / release this film given David O. Russell’s history?pic.twitter.com/8YJuaOXtEU

I didn’t know about David O. Russell’s history prior to yesterday. However ALL the information about his history of abuse is available online. His abuse is well documented. Why are you enabling him,

Did the cast not know before they signed on? If you knew, why did you ignore it? What did David O. Russell say or do to deem him worthy of another chance? (cc:

Annie Mumolo, the co-writer for JOY, described working on that film w/ David O. Russell as “heartbreaking.” Decisions & changes were made that went against her values. In an interview w/ Variety she said, “I can’t say too much. I guess probably because I was living in fear.”pic.twitter.com/m94sqQslaT
