However, the actor was reportedly fired from the film by Olivia Wilde to protect Florence Pugh, who felt uncomfortable around the actor due to his numerous abuse accusations. In an interview with Varietythe director explained her decision and said,
“I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work: his process was not conducive to the ethics that I demand in my productions.”

“I knew I was going to ask Florence to be in very vulnerable situations, and my priority was for her to feel safe and to feel supported.”
However, Shia Labeouf recently said he left the film of his own free will and was not fired.

To add to the drama, he posted a video of the director begging him to stay in the film. In the video, the director also blamed Florence Pugh for not being cooperative.
“I too am heartbroken and want to understand this. You know, I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo and I want to know if you’re ready to give it a shot with me, with us. If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it, at this point. And if you can make peace, and I respect your point of view, I respect it but if you could make it, what do you think? Is there hope? Is there hope? Let me know.”

Olivia Wilde’s video proves she’s not a feminist
The video was not well received by fans on Twitter, who criticized the director for being a fake feminist and supporting an abuser.
This Olivia Wilde gives a behind-the-curtain look at how abusers are still enabled in the entertainment industry. It also shows that public figures will look at feminism for optics without practicing it.
Shia Labeouf is a monster and she is a facilitator. Both are horrible. https://t.co/cOO5DremMd—Jessica Kwazz (@JessKwazz) August 26, 2022
irony of Olivia Wilde portraying herself as the character who defies patriarchal society to help Florence Pugh in Don’t Worry Honey, then off set she begs an abuser to come back to her movie when it makes him feel uncomfortable. Didn’t she know the movie she was making?

she begged an ABUSER to stay her male lead, an ABUSER who made her female lead and the movie’s lead uncomfortable, you tried to get the ABUSER back in the movie blaming your lead feminine. try calling yourself a feminist again, try it.

Olivia Wilde pretending to be a feminist director in the press while insulting her lead actress, Florence Pugh, backstage for being uncomfortable on set is beyond gross.
Imagine the utter lack of empathy you would have to openly lie in Variety about this shit.

Since the video’s release, the director has been compared to Amber Heard and Joss Whedon for pretending to be a feminist while being very misogynistic and supporting abusers.
