Jennifer Lawrence Reportedly Had a Meltdown On-Set While Filming 'Joy'

Jennifer Lawrence's name is very rarely linked to anything the least bit negative in Hollywood. She's a solid actress that comes prepared and generally doesn't make waves which is what makes this story so interesting. Several sources are reporting that Lawrence got into a screaming match with director David O. Russell while filming scenes for their new film, Joy.

Page Six was the first to report that, The Hunger Games star reportedly 'a meltdown' Tuesday night while filming her third movie with mercurial director David O. Russell. He was screaming at her. She was screaming at him. It was loud," said the witness. But a publicist for the Fox movie told the paper, "There was no fight. David is very passionate. He yells lines back at actors. He gets right in the scene with them. This scene was a big argument. Jennifer had a crying baby in her arms. There was a lot of screaming and yelling."

Supposedly one of the major problems has been that Russell has several copies of the script floating around and she has memorized the wrong scenes from the wrong script. In Joy, Lawrence portrays Joy Mangano, a single mom who becomes one of the countries most successful businesswomen after inventing the Miracle Mop. The cast includes Diane Ladd, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Virginia Madsen.

Regardless of what conflict currently exists between Lawrence and Russell, she no doubt realizes that it's in her best interest to work it out. This is their third time working together and the other two films, American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook scored Lawrence two Oscar nods and one actual win. Do you think that these two already had worked out their issues by the time that the story hit the press? Or is there a chance that Lawrence might walk from the project?
