Olivia Wilde Finally Reveals Her Reason For Firing Shia LaBeouf From Don’t Worry Darling

Shia LaBeouf has one more thing to say about his beef with Olivia Wilde over his departure from Don’t Worry Darling.

or did he quit? This profile of Wilde seems to indicate that it was kind of, well, both. First, Wilde said—as she has before—that she fired LaBeouf after Florence Pugh complained about his on-set behavior. “My responsibility was towards her. I’m like a mother wolf.

Not aging well? Amid the offscreen Don’t Worry Darling drama, a resurfaced clip of Florence Pugh gushing about Olivia Wilde is making its rounds on social media.

"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.

Olivia Wilde both attended the world premiere of the drama “Don’t Worry Daring” at the Venice Film Festival, but they kept their distance — almost as if they weren’t even in the same film together.Pugh had skipped the press conference for the film earlier in the day. When the audience at Venice erupted into a 4-minute standing ovation for the film, a teary-eyed Pugh — who was sitting several seats away from Wilde — turned away completely from her director, as she instead faced (and danced with) her co-star Nick Kroll.The film seemed to be well received at Venice. The audience clapped during one of the more climatic scenes and the ovation would probably have gone on longer if Pugh hadn’t made her way for the exit about three minutes into the clapping, prompting the rest of the cast — with Wilde at the end — to follow her. During the ovation, Harry Styles and Kroll quickly kissed on the lips.

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.

Olivia Wilde is making it clear she's strictly at the 2022 Venice Film Festival for business and not gossip. During a press conference for her new film,, on Monday, the 38-year-old director briefly debunked rumors of a feud with Florence Pugh, who stars in the movie, but was absent from the event. Pugh is expected to walk the red carpet at the premiere later today.While Wilde was joined by the film's stars Chris Pine, Harry Styles and Gemma Chan, a reporter told her it was a «shame» that Pugh wasn't there, according to.

Refresh for latest…: Ever since Olivia Wilde first introduced her sophomore directorial effort, Warner Bros/New Line’s Don’t Worry Darling, at CinemaCon last April, followed by a steamy trailer a few days later, anticipation surrounding the film has escalated — for various reasons. It’s now at a fever pitch here in Venice where the movie will world premiere this evening.

Olivia Wilde is opening up about the cuts that she was forced to make to the Don’t Worry Darling trailer in order for it to be approved by the MPA.

What might have been. Olivia Wilde claimed the Motion Picture Association requested major cuts in the original Don’t Worry Darling trailer — and demanded the removal of sex scenes.

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.
