Jennifer Lawrence insists she never felt 'degraded' by David O. Russell's directing style. The Hunger Games actress has worked with the controversial filmmaker three times - on 2012's Silver Linings Playbook, 2013's American Hustle and 2015's Joy - and has scored Oscar nominations for all three. Russell has often come under fire for his harsh directing style, and famously made Lawrence's co-star Amy Adams cry on the set of American Hustle. Reflecting on her professional relationship with Russell on The New York Times's The Interview podcast, Lawrence insisted she never took Russell's harsh feedback to heart. ”I really felt like with David that was his way of communicating in a non-bulls**t way. I never felt like he was degrading or yelling at me," Lawrence said. "If he didn't like something, he was just like: 'That was terrible. Looked like s**t. 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.” The actress, who won the Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, then admitted she was "really sensitive" and speculated that perhaps Russell was "harder on" Adams than her. Adams revealed to GQ in 2016 that she "was really just devastated" most days on the American Hustle set because of Russell. ”Jennifer doesn't take any of it on. She's Teflon. And I am not Teflon. But I also don't like to see other people treated badly. It's not OK with me," she said at the time. Their co-star Christian Bale later confirmed that he "mediated" a tense situation between Russell and Adams on the set.
