After Wilde originally claimed she fired him from her movie, LaBeouf shot back and maintained that he quit “Don’t Worry Darling.” The actor provided Variety with emails and text messages allegedly sent between Wilde and LaBeouf that show he chose to exit the film because he felt the actors were not given enough time to rehearse.

"Don't Worry Darling" is garnering heaps of press, but none of it actually surrounds the film.  In a now viral video, actor Harry Styles is seen taking his seat next to co-star Chris Pine for a screening of the movie on Monday at the Venice Film Festival. The awkward video shows Styles not making eye contact with either Pine or Olivia Wilde, his director and girlfriend, as he sits down.  As Styles turns to sit, you see Pine look down at his pants, pause, and then guffaw at whatever just transpired.  Chris Pine was sandwiched between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles during the film's screening.

Reviews of Olivia Wilde’s psychological drama “Don’t Worry Darling” premiering at the Venice Film Festival are now out. And while it’s a little too early to land on a consensus (our review is mixed), unless you’ve been living under a rock, the film and the spectacle surrounding it have threatened to become one of the biggest, nosiest dramas of the year.

The drama continues. Olivia Wilde praised Florence Pugh at a press event for Don’t Worry Darling — but she refused to answer questions about Shia LaBeouf.

Naman Ramachandran The Venice Film Festival blocked a journalist from asking a question about Shia LaBeouf at a press conference for Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” on Monday. LaBeouf was set to star in “Don’t Worry Darling,” but he exited the project in the fall of 2020 and was replaced by Harry Styles. The back and forth between Wilde and Styles about what exactly happened next has been making headlines prior to the film’s Venice world premiere. After Wilde had told Variety in a cover story that LaBeouf’s process “was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions,” the actor denied that he was fired, saying that he “quit the film due to lack of rehearsal time.”

On different pages. Olivia Wilde and Shia LaBeouf have differing accounts of how their Don’t Worry Darling experience went down, which was the tipping point of their dramatic feud, but their relationship was strained from the start.

is proving to be a very ironic title for Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about has unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the film's release next month.From the film's early casting shake-ups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner Jason Sudeikis and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.Now, with the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head as the actor accuses the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Florence Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde allegedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it feels like risks being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.

proliferation of the 45-second clip, “Miss Flo” — the moniker Wilde uses for the top-billed actress — quickly began trending on Twitter as users admonished the filmmaker’s seemingly dismissive attitude toward Pugh’s concerns.The video — which, according to Variety, was sent to LaBeouf on Aug. 19, 2020 — sees the “Booksmart” director behind the wheel of a vehicle and asking for the LaBeouf’s return to set, as she’s “not ready to give up on this yet.” “I, too, am heartbroken and I want to figure this out,” Wilde says in the video, which was purportedly sent to LaBeouf two days after he claimed he quit the film.

Shia LaBeouf is disputing Olivia Wilde’s claim that he was fired from "Don’t Worry Darling." Wilde, who is the director behind the upcoming film, told Variety in an interview that she let LaBeouf go and the role ultimately went to Harry Styles, with whom she's publicly been in a relationship since January 2021. "I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work," she told the outlet.
