Man, some people really think they're still living in 1995. You know whatever you send people is recorded and stored right? It's hard to tell bald faced lies and not get caught nowadays. What Olivia should've said was that Shia for the good of the project and crew left himself because he didn't want his controversies to hurt the film. Would've made everyone look good but she wanted virtue signaling #MeToo brownie points and pretty much said I fired him myself. Still anticipating the film though.

Goddamn, the way she says 'Ms Flo' is soooo patronising.

My opinion of Olivia Wilde has completely nosedived in the past year or so. Before that I would have been like "She's hot and trying to break into directing, good for her". Now I just want to stay at least 500 feet away from her at all costs.
We all know Shia is not a good person but you can criticize him for stuff he actually did, you don't need to make shit up.

Also, this is really making me doubt the quality of the movie. There are some exceptions like Apocalypse Now, but usually when there's this much drama on a film set the movie suffers.
If she really had a no assholes on set policy she should have quit.

Yeah, this is gonna be a mess. Not sure if her career will be able to take the hit. Sounds like she let the reviews from Booksmart go to her head. If this movie turns out well, I'll give all the credit to Flo and Chris Pines.

Jesus Christ, what a mess.
Olivia has mentioned that she had her reasons for leaving Jason so I thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt on that particular matter, but the hollow virtue signaling, and now, apparently, just plain lying about firing Shia, is really putting her in a negative light. Shia is still a piece of shit, but he brought the appropriate receipts here.
ETA: After digging some more, this is even worse than I thought. The leaked video seems to indicate that Wilde was trying to persuade Shia, a known abuser and loose canon, to stay in the production so "Ms. Flo" could get a wake-up call and hopefully commit to remaining on-board. Wilde could've easily been transparent from jump and state that even though Shia was cast, it became clear to her after a while that the energies weren't mixing and that Pugh's safety/security was becoming a point of concern. Instead, she proceeded to throw LaBeouf under the bus as soon as she could (her "No Assholes" policy quip was featured in a Vanity Fair article that was published way back in February of this year) and attempted to make herself look like the #MeToo/#TimesUp White Knightess when in reality the evidence seems to suggest she was perfectly ok with Shia remaining in the production. I think it's pretty easy to understand now why Pugh has issue with her.

The honorable way to handle things like that is to do that before you find another partner which was the issue here. Not saying she should be a pariah like Ingrid Bergman, everybody makes mistakes, but prior to the Pugh drama there were legit articles "congratulating" her on it which I thought was pretty messed up which is why I made the earlier comment.

This has been a joy to follow LOL, the insanity of Hollywood. Can't wait to see how the movie itself actually turns out.
It's a shame, as a huge fan of Booksmart, i cant look at Wilde the same way or care for her evolution as a Director.

idk it feels like a stunt, a drama that is not worth to witness as most of it is just twitter assumptions and neither Olivia or Florence are big movie stars, this is coffee table talk for a quiet Monday morning. At this point Miss Flo even comes off as a bit of an arrogant diva. What I find delightful is Harry Styles at the press conference, dressed up like a fake Elton Johh doll talking about movies feeling real and Chris Pine giving us in silver platter the meme of the year #TeamChrisPine

Just when you thought it couldn't get any wilder. Harry definitely spit but it looks like a total accident. Like he had something in his mouth and was spitting it out at the same time he was taking his seat. It was careless and rude, but people wanting it to be intentional are projecting so hard There’s another theory that Chris was looking for his sunglasses and forgot they were on his lap bc he dozed off like he has been all day. And that explains his reaction to finding it Idk I’m team the spit was accidental Either way, his reaction is killing me 😂

I think it's pretty easy to understand now why Pugh has issue with her. But didn’t leaked messages leaked show that Pugh was very friendly while texting Shia during the rehearsal portion of production? Also casting took place BEFORE FKA Twigs’ went public with December 2020 with her lawsuit so if Twigs’ lawsuit is a marker, then I don’t see how Olivia can be blamed while Florence is let off the hook But it seems like the root of Florence’s issue with Olivia Wilde is Wilde talking about female pleasure on-screen and how DWD puts female pleasure at the center unlike a lot of films throughout Hollywood’s history

I feel like I’m the only one who feels bad for her lol I agree that she is a hypocrite and most likely lied about the whole Shia thing (I’m skeptical to fully believe him since he’s an abuser). His receipts thus far definitely are damning from a PR perspective But the way she’s getting dog piled on internet is honestly really harsh and a lot of it driven by insane Harry Styles’ fans I can’t recall directors with worse behavior getting this much hate

Like at this point, just say what your issue is with Olivia instead of being actually shady and snubbing press obligations “I think it’s great when a woman fights back on and off camera” is something she said. Ok but what exactly are you fighting back against? Until we know, I think she comes off dramatic and her silence is adding fuel to the fire

I'm starting to think that Pugh knew about the video way before it came out at the public's consumption.
