"Bullshit," Christian's character says in response to her statement. Jennifer hits back, "It's not bullshit. I read it in an article. Look, by Paul Brodeur."
Mr Brodeur is now suing Columbia Pictures, Atlas Entertainment and Annapurna Pictures for libel, defamation, slander and false light. He is seeking US$ 1 million in damage.
"The scene from the movie American Hustle where the defamatory statement was made is highly offensive to a reasonable person," read the document.
