Before addressing the allegations from FKA Twigs, LaBeouf issued a statement to Olivia Wilde regarding allegations that he fired her from the set of his film, “Don’t Worry Darling,” for not having the “conducive ethos” needed in his production.
“I’m a bit confused about the narrative that I was fired, however. You and I both know why I’m out. I quit your movie because of your cast & I couldn’t find time to rehearse. I’ve included as a reminder a screenshot of our text exchange on that day,” he wrote in his mail to Wilde per Diversity.
He also wrote in the mail that he did not plan to sue her over the allegations and only asked that he not exploit the narrative to sell his film. He pleaded that his claim would only further complicate his rehabilitation process and further jeopardize his chances of obtaining acting employment later.
