Have you been following all the Olivia Wilde drama? The press tour for Don't Worry Darling has been so dramatic that the forthcoming film itself might become a mere footnote. The stars have been been in the news constantly between Olivia Wilde getting papers served while onstage at CinemaCon this past spring, to Harry Styles coy refusal to admit that he has a 'public relationship' to Olivia Wilde (presumably to protect those pretensions of queerness for a heterosexual life?), to rumors and then confirmation that Florence Pugh broke up with Zach Braff, to Olivia Wilde recently claiming she fired Shia Labeouf from the movie for Florence Pugh's safety. And now Labeouf counter-claiming that he quit by sharing texts and emails to show that Wilde tried to convince him to stay. What a f**king mess it's all been!
