In one of their better headlines, TMZ reports about The Fighter and I Heart Huckabees director David O. Russell, “Transgender Niece Tells Cops — He Groped My Breasts.” They go onto say that she’s not even a blood relative, so I don’t really see what the big deal is.
David O. Russell — the Oscar-nominated director behind “The Fighter” — is under investigation in Florida for copping a feel of his 19-year-old transgender niece … but Russell told cops it was totally consensual.
David O. Russell is a hyper-intellectual director raised in New York City by a Jewish father and Catholic mother. He’s in Florida for five minutes and BOOM! Busted for feeling up a tranny relative. Oh, Florida. (*sad trombone, banjo run*)
The Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. has confirmed … Russell has been accused of inappropriately grabbing his niece’s breasts during a workout session at a South Florida hotel gym on Dec. 30.
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.”
