He also groped his transgender niece (and he admitted to it, but of course victim blamed with the ole' "She wanted it" defense). Fucking creep.

Which means some of those giving him work do even worse things in their private lives and parties. Or they tolerate and keep many scandals under wraps.

And he threatened to kill Christopher Nolan because Jude Law had signed up for The Prestige when Russell wanted him for Huckabees. Law tried to pull out of Russell's film because he needed the higher paycheck (he was going through a nasty divorce at the time and needed the money), then Russell ran into Nolan and put him in a headlock and demanded Law back.
