Jane calls her ex, Dan Frost, a "prick." This term is not documented as being used in this manner until the 1950's. It is used in Shakespeare as a term for penis, however, so to infer that a man is a penis by using any term known at the time would be offensive to the recipient. It must be remembered that the 19th Century was a relatively prudish time - "damn" was considered highly offensive - so strong expletives would rarely be seen in printed form, hence the lack of evidence of their use, but logic dictates that if the word was known it was probably used in a derogatory form as it would be today.

Ramsay quit production on the indie drama Jane Got a Gun (2015) prior to the first day of shooting following a three-day standoff with producer-financier Scott Steindorff in March 2013. Ramsey complained about alleged fraudulent behavior of the producer during pre-production, mainly trying to force upon her an impossible schedule at the last minute while denying her final cut. She felt tricked with false promises and left the production therefore. Ramsay was supposed to receive $750,000 for directing the film plus bonuses, her best salary ever, but she preferred to leave the production because the producers made it impossible to direct the movie the way she had planned. Ramsey was sued for breach of contract in November 2013, but the resulting lawsuit was settled privately in March 2014: The producers said they would no longer be pursuing the acclaimed director for more than $850,000 (£512,000) in reported fees and damages.
