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.

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.

Shia LaBeouf has been the subject of intense controversy over the past several years. From his multiple arrests and reports of erratic behavior to the more recent allegations of physical abuse from one of his ex-partners, the actor is seemingly always in the crosshairs.

Shia LaBeouf’s comeback campaign has seemingly begun. His first film in two years—since the allegations actor/artist FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett) made against him about mental, physical, and violent abuse—“Padre Pio” directed by Abel Ferrara, is about to premiere at Venice and LaBeouf, who has been mostly quiet ever since the accusations, is finally breaking his silence.

Ethan Shanfeld Shia LaBeouf is opening up about the abuse allegations that have disgraced his career. On Jon Bernthal’s podcast “Real Ones,” LaBeouf addresses the disturbing accusations of sexual battery and physical and verbal abuse brought against him by FKA Twigs in a 2020 lawsuit. LaBeouf dated FKA Twigs for roughly a year after they met on the set of his 2019 film “Honey Boy.” With allegations ranging from violent attacks to strangulation, FKA Twigs accused LaBeouf of knowingly infecting her with an STD, and shooting stray dogs with a gun to get into character for his film “The Tax Collector.” “I hurt that woman,” LaBeouf said, although he did not call her by name on the podcast. “And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.

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.
