David O. Russell, director of The Fighter and Three Kings, is under investigation after his 19-year-old transgendered niece told cops he fondled her beasts during a workout session at a South Florida hotel gym. Russell tells cops it was consensual. Hey, that’s what I always say too.

According to the police report taken 3 days after the incident, Russell’s niece … who was born a man and is currently in the preoperative phase of her transition … told cops the two had been doing abdominal exercises when he asked questions about her transformation.

The niece — who does NOT have a blood relation to Russell — told cops they began to talk about her breasts … and how certain hormones she’s taking have made them larger.

According to the report, the niece claims Russell then “put his hands under [her] top and felt both breasts.”

Cops say the woman said she felt “uncomfortable” … but admitted she “did not ask him to stop at any time.” TMZ

Again, Russell says it was consensual and the way he says it it sounds like the niece gave him an invitation. That’s sort of what happened. Maybe? Details are muddy.

Investigators later contacted Russell … and according to the report, the director confirmed he DID touch his niece’s breasts … but only after she gave him permission.

Cops say Russell explained that during the conversation about her chest, the niece informed him that one of her breasts was bigger than the other. The official report says … Russell told cops his niece then “allowed [him] to feel both of [her] breasts.”

According to the report, Russell told cops his niece asked him to “pinky swear” that he would never tell anyone about the incident.

In the report, cops say Russell insisted he repeatedly asked his niece if she was ever uncomfortable during the incident … and claims she gave consent.

They were probably playing the nervous game and her niece really wanted to win. Anyway, Russell says his niece is always trying to cause trouble. If it’s not changing himself into a woman it’s seducing relatives with her synthetic hormone induced breasts.

In the police report, one of the investigators notes, “Russell stated [his niece] is always causing drama since the transgender transformation and has become very provocative and seductive.”

Either David O. Russell is a kinky pervert who gets off on molesting transgendered family members or his niece wants 15 minutes and a nice payoff.

A couple of clips of actress Lilly Tomlin and director David O. Russell having a minor disagreement on the set of I Heart Huckabees have found their way onto the internet. The argument leaves a production assistant cowering in the corner and the rest of the cast in silence. NSFW language is littered throughout the videos so cover your ears lest you go to Hell. This might conjure up memories of how George Clooney punched David on the set of Three Kings. And also that pesky story about how he held Batman Begins director Chris Nolan in a headlock until he agreed to free Jude Law from a contract so he could appear in Huckabees.

At a Hollywood party, Mr. Russell, a lean, muscular 46-year-old with dark, lanky hair, runs into Mr. Nolan and — in full view of the party guests — puts him in a headlock. Wrapping his arm around Mr. Nolan’s neck, Mr. Russell demands that his fellow director show artistic solidarity and give up his star in order to save ”Huckabees.”

He’s a winner through and through. Another fantastically awesome clip below.
