Don't Worry Darling directed by Olivia Wilde will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Monday; The project has been plagued with controversy surrounding ...
In his messages to Wilde, LaBeouf states: 'You and I both know the reasons for my exit. There is a time and a place to deal with such things, and I am trying to navigate a nuanced situation with respect for her and the truth, hence my silence. I hope none of this negatively effects you, and that your film is successful in all the ways you want it to be. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. And so, it makes it that much harder for me to crawl out of the hole I have dug with my behaviors, to be able to provide for my family. Wilde goes on: 'If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace - and I respect your point of view, I respect hers - but if you guys can do it, what do you think? I have included as a reminder the screenshots of our text exchange on that day, and my text to Tobey. 'I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. But this situation with your film and my 'firing' will never have a court date with which to deal with the facts. I have a little girl, Isabel; she is five months old and just beginning to develop the last half of her laugh; it's AMAZING. I reached out to you a few months ago to make amends; & I still pray one day, you can find space in your heart to forgive me for the failed collaboration we shared. I am a little confused about the narrative that I was fired, however.

He also shared a video that he alleged Wilde sent to him, in which she appears to be trying to get him back on board and seems to confirm that she and Pugh had some differences of opinions on set. “If people are excited about a film, for whatever reason, what you hope is that it gets them in the door.” She has discussed her frustration with the intense focus on the sex scenes between her and Styles in Don’t Worry Darling‘s trailer, the same ones that Wilde has argued center female pleasure.

Everyone wanted to make Olivia Wilde's “Don't Worry Darling.” ByLINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer. August 31, 2022, 12:12 ...
I think it’s a testament to the film. You want me to watch “Requiem for a Dream” and “The Truman Show” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” and you want me to read “The Feminine Mystique,” but also Jordan Peterson? There’s a lot that had to be taken out of the trailer. Whether you are a 1950s car fanatic and that’s what’s going to get you into this movie, or if you are simply going because you’re a fan of our incredible cast, all I care about is that you have the chance to see it, and I hope that people then have the instinct to share it. What has that been like for you as a filmmaker? That’s all you want is for people to see it. You know, it’s interesting because in a lot of queer films, the female characters are allowed to have more pleasure. WILDE: I am a big fan of the iconography of the 1950s and a lot of the art, architecture, cars, music. Was that a fight to even include that? I also just really understood that this would be an opportunity for an actress to really flex. I wanted to create a character with an actress that would represent the kind of woman that I feel like our society needs. But soon the conversation will go back to the film itself: “Don’t Worry Darling” will have a glamorous debut at the Venice International Film Festival on Sept.
Olivia Wilde had nothing but praise for Florence Pugh's performance in 'Don't Worry Darling.'
Meanwhile, Wilde was delivered court papers while on stage at a film convention promoting Don’t Worry Darling earlier this year. LaBeouf was eventually replaced with Harry Styles in the role of Alice’s husband, Jack. LaBeouf is also [being sued by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs](https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/fka-twigs-sexual-assault-case-against-shia-labeouf-gets-a-trial-date/) for alleged sexual assault, a claim which he denies. Case in point, it was recently revealed he admitted to [ falsely depicting his father as physically abusive](https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/did-shia-labeouf-really-make-up-the-abuse-allegations-in-honey-boy/) during his upbringing for the autobiographical film he penned, Honey Boy, in which he plays his own dad (LaBeouf now disowns Honey Boy). However, the director now says she wouldn’t “want it any other way” than for Pugh to helm the lead role in Don’t Worry Darling, Wilde told the [some backlash from people on social media toward Wilde when a video surfaced](https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/florence-pugh-fans-are-furious-after-shia-lebeoufs-video-reveals-olivia-wildes-condescending-nickname-for-the-actress/) that seemed to show her pleading with LaBeouf to rejoin Don’t Worry Darling.
