Yesterday, Deuxmoi received an anonymous tip with news that the cast of David O. Russell's new film, "Madden," had allegedly walked off set due to the director's behavior. However, we've since gathered crucial clarifications to set the record straight and dispel any misconceptions.

First and foremost, the entire cast did not walk off the set. There was, however, an incident involving one actor and David O. Russell. This actor subsequently quit the production.

Importantly, no other actors walked off with him, and filming remained on schedule.

Today, we received an update from an exclusive source that sheds further light on the situation. The actor in question, who plays a football player in the movie, reportedly "showed up to set today unannounced [Wednesday, May 21, 2025] despite not being on the call sheet". Our source states he attempted to rally the other "players" (actors) around him, but his efforts were unsuccessful. As a result, this actor was subsequently removed from the set and production continued with all cast on set.
