Oh darling, grab your martini because this one is juicy! A certain filmmaker has decided to unload her oh-so-dramatic breakup with a certain pop star during a promotional tour for her film that was, let’s be honest, the disaster of 2022. Yes, I’m talking about Olivia Wilde, who’s apparently reflecting on her very public split from Harry Styles while simultaneously attempting to sell us on her movie, Don't Worry Darling. Talk about multitasking, right?
These two were hotter than a summer’s day from late 2020 until their quiet November 2022 split. But who was really paying attention to their romance? We were all too busy sipping on the juicy rumors of on-set feuds that had more layers than a wedding cake. Olivia was busy trying to sell us on her film while the only thing we could talk about was the allegedly uncomfortable vibes her relationship with Harry brought to set. Honestly, Hollywood never fails to deliver.
Fast forward to a recent tête-à-tête on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where Olivia, bless her heart, claimed that the breakup overshadowed the film's true intentions (as if we were ever really invested). Apparently, she believes those multidimensional scandals ruined the film’s chance to shine. Sweetheart, newsflash: We weren’t exactly bursting at the seams to discuss the real issues you were trying to tackle.
In a moment of ew, she lamented, 'I think it did hurt the film for sure,' implying that the drama kept us from appreciating the magic behind a movie shot on a $30 million budget that somehow looked like it cost less than a weekend getaway. Perish the thought that maybe it was just a flop.
While Olivia is feeling all the hurt over her film’s fate, one can’t help but wonder if her public pity party is merely a distraction from the fact that, oh I don’t know, the film was DOA at the box office—not because of the drama, but because, darling, nobody was really interested in the first place. But let her have her moment; we could use some popcorn for this ongoing drama.
