Olivia Wilde Drops the “Horses*” Myths About Her Switch from Jason to Harry
Olivia Wilde just threw out the conspiracy theory that she abandoned Jason Sudeikis for Harry Styles. It’s true: the Don’t Worry Darling director said her breakup happened long before the pop‑star appeared on her radar.
It’s Not a “Horses*” Love Triangle
During a chat with Vanity Fair, Wilde made it crystal clear: “The whole horses* story that I left Jason for Harry is pure fiction. The relationship ended a full year before I met Harry.” She added, “When a relationship ends, it doesn’t just pop out of a hat. Jason and I had a rocky road and we officially called it quits right at the start of the pandemic.”
- 2019‑2020: Wilde & Jason split.
- During lockdown: They co‑parented Otis (8) and Daisy (5).
- Decided cohabitation was best for the kids, so they became good‑friend parents in separate houses.
In short: no midnight romance with Harry, just a stepwise fade‑out.
Florence Pugh Gets a Heartfelt Thank‑You
Wilde also brushed aside whispers that her new romance alienated Florence Pugh on the set of Don’t Worry Darling. She reminded everyone that “it’s rare folks give women in power the full benefit of the doubt.” And yes, “Florence did the job she hired to do, and she did it exquisitely.”
She went on, “We’re still exploring the sheer power of women in my second film. It’s about what we can do together and how easy it is to strip us of power by casting judgment on other women.”
Why Florence’s Low Social Media Presence?
Wilde shared a quick back‑story: “Florence is super busy—she’s on set for Dune and demands a lot of her fans to keep up. She’s an in‑demand star, so social media isn’t her top priority.” She clarified, “I didn’t hire her to post; she was hired to act, and she delivered flawless performance.”
So, there’s no drama: the Lions are not in the “horses*” horse train—just a clean breakup, a supportive cast, and a passionate director on a mission to keep female power front and center.
