Shia LeBeouf Claims He Wasn’t Fired From ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ & Says He Quit Due To Lack Of Rehearsal Time

theplaylist.net:

As Olivia Wilde ramps up press for her upcoming sophomore directorial effort “Don’t Worry Darling,” starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles—and co-starring Wilde herself—the actor/director has asked to relitigate the origins of the film and her claims that Shia LaBeouf was let go from the film.

In a Variety interview this week, while Wilde did not use the word “fired” when asked about the behind-the-scenes LaBeouf drama, the director suggested the actor was let go to “protect her crew.” Variety previously released a December 2020 piece outlining the story, explaining through unnamed sources that LaBeouf was let go because of a “zero asshole policy.” Now, LaBeouf himself is pushing back on those allegations, claiming that he was not fired from the film but quit because there would not be a rehearsal period given to the actors involved.
