Sound the bat-shit sounding lawsuit klaxon. We have another one.
Remember that scene in American Hustle when Jennifer Lawrence is talking about the microwave and how she doesn't like it? She's all "it zaps the nutrition out of the food" and then holds up a magazine with an article about it. Remember? No.
Fine, here's the scene for the context.
Right, so, the journalist that she mentions in the scene is suing the makers of American Hustle. According to the journalist's suit, he claims that he never wrote an article about microwaving food or nutrition, but actually wrote on microwave technology and its use by the US military.
The journalist, Paul Brodeur, was interviewed by People Magazine in 1978 and spoke about how microwaves being brought into the home wasn't exactly a good idea - which is the article Jennifer Lawrence's character is talking about.
Brodeur is suing for $1,000,000 and wants his name removed from any future copies of American Hustle. His suit claims that by Lawrence's character referencing his article incorrectly and attributing a false statement - microwaves don't zap the nutrition out of food, apparently - to him, his reputation has been damaged.
Look, if you're going to sue the makers of American Hustle for something, sue them for the fact that Louis CK and Robert De Niro were criminally underused in that film.
