Shia Labeouf was cast to play the role of Jack, the husband of Alice, which is played by Florence Pugh. However, the actor was allegedly fired from the film by Olivia Wilde to protect Florence Pugh, who felt uncomfortable around the actor due to his numerous abuse charges. In an interview with Variety, the director provided the reasons behind her decision and stated,

“I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work: His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions.”

She also added,

“I knew that I was going to be asking Florence to be in very vulnerable situations, and my priority was making her feel safe and making her feel supported.”

However, Shia Labeouf recently stated that he left the film willingly and was not fired.

To add to the drama, he released a video of the director begging him to stay part of the film. In the video, the director also criticized Florence Pugh for not cooperating.

“I too am heartbroken, and I want to figure this out. You know, I think this might be a bit of a wake up call for Miss Flo and I wanna know if you’re open to giving this 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 guys can make peace, and I respect your point of view, I respect her but if you guys could do it, what do you think? Is there hope? Is there hope? You let me know.”

The video proves that Olivia Wilde did not fire the actor, and instead, she was willing to make Florence Pugh feel unsafe and uncomfortable while working with the actor.
