Ethan Shanfeld The never-ending press cycle surrounding “Don’t Worry Darling” continues, as director Olivia Wilde denies that Shia LaBeouf quit the film. 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. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Wilde doubled down on her account of the incident, saying: “This issue is so much more nuanced than can be explained in private texts released out of context. All I’ll say is he was replaced, and there was no going forward with him. I wish him the best in his recovery.”

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.

The plot thickens. Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde‘s stylists appeared to have shared their thoughts on the actresses’ rumored feud.

"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.

There wasn’t any PDA on this red carpet.

Olivia Wilde is trying to play down endless rumors of the supposed rift between her and Don’t Worry Darling star Florence Pugh!

Olivia Wilde revealed she "had to cut" sexy scenes from the "Don't Worry Darling" trailer. Wilde, who directed and stars in the film, admitted shots were removed from the trailer "at the last second" and noted we continue to live in a "really puritanical society." "There’s a lot that had to be taken out of the trailer," Wilde told The Associated Press. "The MPA came down hard on me and the trailer at the last second and I had to cut some shots, which I was upset about because I thought they took it up another notch.

Zack Sharf “Don’t Worry Darling” broke the internet with its first trailer, which included a scene in which Harry Styles’ character performs oral sex on Florence Pugh’s character on a dining room table. It turns out there would’ve been even more provocative scenes featured in the trailer had director Olivia Wilde gotten her way. The filmmaker told the Associated Press that the MPA ratings board “came down hard” on the original cut of the trailer and forced her to remove additional scenes that were deemed too risqué. “There’s a lot that had to be taken out of the trailer,” Wilde said when asked by the AP about including a “sex act” in the trailer. “The MPA came down hard on me and the trailer at the last second and I had to cut some shots, which I was upset about because I thought they it took it up another notch. But of course we still live in a really puritanical society. I do think the lack of eroticism in American film is kind of new. Then when it comes to female pleasure, it’s something that we just don’t see very often unless you’re talking about queer cinema.”

The drama surrounding Don’t Worry Darling continues. Apparently, Florence Pugh was mad director Olivia Wilde kept “disappearing” to canoodle with her boyfriend, Harry Styles, on set.

More updates on the Don’t Worry Darling drama!!

Shia LaBeouf's words to Olivia Wilde, «Firing me never took place.»On the heels of a newly published  interview with the  director, in which she reportedly confirmed to the outlet that she fired LaBeouf as Jack, the male lead of the film, the actor is refuting her claim. During her interview, Wilde said LaBeouf's process «was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions.»«He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances,» she claimed. «I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them.

As Olivia Wilde ramps up press for her upcoming sophomore directorial effort “Don’t Worry Darling,” starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles—and co-starring Wilde herself—the actor/director has asked to relitigate the origins of the film and her claims that Shia LaBeouf was let go from the film. In a Variety interview this week, while Wilde did not use the word “fired” when asked about the behind-the-scenes LaBeouf drama, the director suggested the actor was let go to “protect her crew.” Variety previously released a December 2020 piece outlining the story, explaining through unnamed sources that LaBeouf was let go because of a “zero asshole policy.” Now, LaBeouf himself is pushing back on those allegations, claiming that he was not fired from the film but quit because there would not be a rehearsal period given to the actors involved.
