According to reports, the actor walked off set after Russell allegedly used the N-word during an impromptu monologue. The incident reportedly upset several cast and crew members, leading to a halt in filming.
Additionally, the same actor was uncomfortable with a nude scene, which reportedly led to tensions with Russell. While some sources described Russell’s reaction as “unprofessional,” studio insiders claim that an intimacy coordinator was involved to ensure comfort, and the actor was given the option to skip the scene entirely.
Studio’s Response
Amazon Studios has clarified the situation, stating that the N-word was not Russell’s idea but was suggested by the actor during a private discussion. The studio also emphasized that nudity was not sprung on anyone, and the actor was given alternative options.
