So when Wilde initially said that she had fired LaBoeuf for being an asshole on set and to protect her other performers, no one was particularly surprised - except, perhaps, for Shia LaBoeuf himself.Ī post shared by PROBLEMATIC FAME it just me, or is she saying “Shia” weirdly in that video? (LaBoeuf later, kind of, apologized for this incident.) And in late 2020, shortly after he would leave the set of Don’t Worry, Darling, LaBoeuf’s ex FKA Twigs would also allege in a suit that he had sexually and physically abused her and another one of his exes. He was arrested for disorderly conduct at a bar, where bodycam footage captured him making racist remarks. LaBoeuf is, at the very least, what a second-grade teacher would generously refer to as a “big personality.” He was arrested in 2014 for grabbing Alan Cumming’s ass at a Broadway performance of Cabaret. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them.“Īside from the fact that this sounds like the kind of thing an HR manager would say after firing a middle manager for getting drunk off canned G&Ts during the corporate Easter egg hunt, everything Wilde says here makes sense. I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. 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. “ His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions. She issues the type of gristle-free pablum that is the foodstuffs of most press tours: In the profile, Wilde discusses why Shia LaBoeuf, who had originally been cast in Styles’s role, was fired from Don’t Worry, Darling. But it’s also necessary context for understanding what happened late last week, after Wilde appeared in a splashy Variety profile as promotion for the film. ‘American Horror Story’ Needs Kim Kardashian That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because bigger and better than that.” Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that.

So has the fact that, in a recent Harper’s Bazaar profile, Pugh appeared to allude to Wilde’s public comments about the oral sex scene between her and Styles in a not-so-nice way, saying, “When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. The fact that Pugh has commented on almost none of these rumors, and has publicly done very little to promote the film, has merely added fuel to the fire. In the media, there was speculation Pugh, a film star in her own right, got paid a lot less for Don’t Worry, Darling than Harry, which Wilde has staunchly denied rumors have also swirled that Pugh was angry that Styles and Wilde often “disappeared” from set to “canoodle” (industry trade parlance for “fucking”). Against the backdrop of this courtship, rumors have also started to swirl that Pugh, the lead of Don’t Worry, Darling, was unhappy with Wilde and Styles’ relationship. Though neither of them have publicly remarked at length on the relationship, Wilde has been spotted on tour with him many times dancing sexily in the crowd, inciting the ire of Styles fans worldwide. Since early 2021, starting with their public debut at a Hollywood exec’s wedding, Styles and Wilde have had a whirlwind courtship. One could be forgiven, however, for knowing next to nothing about this premise, as the bulk of the coverage of the film has focused on the alleged - alleged! - gooey pelvis-bumping of its director (Wilde) and its male star (Styles), who reportedly got together on set, suspiciously close to the time that Wilde broke up with her then-fiance Jason Sudeikis. It’s a little on the nose, but she’s a millennial, so that’s OK. In one photo she posted from set, she wore a The Future Is Female Ejaculation T-shirt. There is also apparently a subplot about female sexual empowerment, if a buzz-worthy oral sex scene in the trailer - and Wilde’s constant discussion of the subject in her press tours for the film - are any indication. Directed by Olivia Wilde, Don’t Worry, Darling is a film that is at least ostensibly about a group of housewives (including star Florence Pugh) trying to unearth the truth behind their husbands’ (including Rolling Stone cover star Harry Styles) top-secret project. I mean, that depends how you feel about mid-century modern period horror/drama/thrillers.
