Jennifer Lawrence detailed seeing men throwing “hissy fits” while working with disgraced director Bryan Singer.
While speaking to Danielle Deadwyler, Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Williams, Emma Corrin and Claire Foy in a Hollywood Reporter roundtable panel, the “Hunger Games” actress compared working in female-led movies to male-led ones.
“It was making me laugh when we were talking about the hours and stuff because it was just so interesting to be on a female-led movie,” Lawrence, 32, began.

The Oscar winner said that when she worked with female directors everything flowed better on set.
“The schedule made sense,” she explained. “There were no huge fights. If an actor had a personal thing and wanted to leave early, instead of going, ‘Oh! Well, we’d all love to leave early!’ we’d put our heads together and go, ‘OK. How can we figure this out?’”

Lawrence described it being “incredible” to not be surrounded by toxic masculinity, shutting down the notion that women can’t be in charge because they’re “so emotional.”
“I’ve worked with Bryan Singer,” she continued. “I’ve seen emotional men. I’ve seen the biggest hissy fits thrown on set.

“[Lila Neugebauer’s] my third female director, and they are the calmest, best decision-makers I’ve ever worked with. I absolutely love working with female directors.”
Singer, 57 — who worked alongside Lawrence on several films including “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and “X-Men: Apocalypse” — was accused of engaging in sexual misconduct with underage boys.
In 2019, several of his alleged victims came forward to tell their stories in an interview with the Atlantic, detailing their sexual encounters with the “Bohemian Rhapsody” director when they were underage.
Singer’s lawyer, Andrew B. Brettler, denied all allegations against him, telling the outlet that he “categorically denies ever having sex with, or a preference for, underage men.”
