To anyone who hoped Olivia Wilde's next movie might have a drama-free rollout, it's time to start worrying, darling.
Shia LaBeouf has accused Olivia Wilde of lying about firing him from her new movie Don't Worry Darling. In a recent Variety profile, Wilde said she removed LaBeouf from the film and replaced him with Harry Styles because his "process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand."

LaBeouf also shared a video he claims Wilde sent him after he allegedly quit. "I feel like I'm not ready to give up on this yet," Wilde reportedly says, hinting at tensions between LaBeouf and star Florence Pugh by saying "this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo." Wilde also reportedly expresses hope that "you guys can make peace."
Finally, LaBeouf shared an email he sent to Wilde this week in response to her Variety quotes. "You and I both know the reasons for my exit," he writes. "I quit your film because your actors and I couldn't find time to rehearse."
Wilde hasn't responded to LaBeouf's allegations, but it's the latest drama to hit the film after claims that an alleged affair between Wilde and Styles sparked tension with Pugh. A source claimed to Page Six in July, "Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well."
