Untangling Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling Scandal as She Makes Directing Comeback With The Invite

By August, though, LaBeouf had been replaced with Harry Styles, due to what was initially cited as scheduling conflicts. Months after they shot in the fall of 2020, Wilde confirmed a romance with Styles the following January. 

This was about the time Wilde realized not all was right in Victory. 

“People were f—ing pissed,” Wilde recalled of the duo’s romance during her Call Her Daddy appearance. “It’s almost like the happiness made them mad. I would go to shows and dance, and people were like, ‘Oh, b—h. You slut.’ Oh, man. I don’t know. It really did upset people, though.”

And while Wilde said she and Styles “existed in a little bubble” of joy amid the backlash, she hit a personal snag in April 2022. During a presentation for DWD at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Wilde was served custody papers by ex Jason Sudeikis—dad to her son Otis, 12, and daughter Daisy, 9. 

“It was incredibly traumatizing,” Wilde said. “It was like, I cannot f–king believe this is happening to me here.”

Indeed, even Tom Cruise found the situation unfair, with Wilde admitting he brought it up when she met him a few months later. 

“He was like, ‘Hi, I’m Tom. F–kled up what happened to you in Vegas,’” Wilde recalled. “And I was like, ‘No!’”
