She\u2019s currently being feted as one of the most talented people in Hollywood, despite the fact that her first film, Booksmart, was a box office dud, and her current effort, Don\u2019t Worry Darling, is currently charting in at 39 percent on RottenTomatoes, despite the presence of two of the industry\u2019s biggest stars, Harry Styles and Florence Pugh. Wilde herself began as a rather untalented actress \u2013 remember her woodenly stammering out lines on House? \u2013 but now she\u2019s become something bigger: an Important Person.<\/p>\n<p>We know she\u2019s important because she talks about the sexism she experiences routinely. In 2014, she talked about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamour.com\/story\/olivia-wilde-talks-sexism-in-h\">how difficult it was to get stories about women made.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That must have come as a shock to literally every person who has ever seen more than one film or television show. The same year she complained about how hard it was to get films about women made, Alfonso Cuaron won an Oscar for directing Gravity, about a female astronaut.<\/p>\n<p>But, you see, because Wilde is an Important Feminist Voice \u2013 and we know this because she keeps telling us, over and over again \u2013 this means she doesn\u2019t have to act like a decent human being. As it turns out, Don\u2019t Worry Darling is an off-screen disaster as well as an on-screen disappointment (it currently pulls a 39% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes). The disaster began with Wilde lying about the former star of the movie, Shia Labeouf. She said in an interview:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don\u2019t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances. I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them. That was my job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She then dumped on him personally, claiming that she fired him because of allegations from his former girlfriend about emotional abuse, adding, \u201cParticularly with a movie like this, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More feminist heroing! Except it wasn\u2019t true: Labeouf released emails and texts showing he left the production because he didn\u2019t have enough time to rehearse with the rest of the cast. Labeouf said, \u201cFiring me never took place, Olivia. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. It is not the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only true thing Wilde said, apparently, was that she was interested in making a safe, trusting environment on set. But not for Florence Pugh. For Harry Styles. She reportedly began making time with the star of her film pretty quickly after reaching the set. Of course, she was in a long-term relationship with Jason Sudeikis at the time; the couple had two children. In April 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/04\/olivia-wilde-cinemacon-jason-sudeikis-legal-documents-ted-lasso-1235011446\/\">Sudeikis had her served with papers<\/a> while she was onstage doing press for her new film. <\/p>\n<p>All of this made Pugh rather upset, apparently. She reportedly was angry that Wilde had hooked up with Styles while Wilde was still with Sudeikis \u2013 and she was just as angry that Wilde and Styles were making out between takes. Sounds like true feminism heroism!<\/p>\n<p>And herein lies the point: all it takes to be a feminist hero is to parrot a bunch of Left-wing talking points about how women are victims. You don\u2019t actually have to help women or be a good person or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>Take, as case study #2, Hillary Clinton. She\u2019s back at it with a new series on Apple TV called Gutsy. From the trailer, it appears that the Hillary-produced, Hillary-starring docuseries is about Hillary\u2019s heroism. Promoting her new film, she told CBS News\u2019 Norah O\u2019Donnell that her gutsiest decision was sticking with Bill Clinton:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Was that even gutsier than allegedly threatening Juannita Broaddrick, who says Bill Clinton raped her? Here\u2019s Broaddrick describing the gutsy feminist heroine:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>But again, Hillary says she\u2019s a victim of the patriarchy, so we must take her at her word.<\/p>\n<p>Or take Meghan Markle, a C-list actress who became a princess by marrying into the British Royal Family \u2013 and who now says that she\u2019s a victim of racism and sexism. She accused unnamed members of the Royal Family of bigotry, saying that they asked her about the prospective skin color of her child; she blamed the Royal Family for her decision to take Prince Harry to the United States and re-enter the entertainment industry. She\u2019s a feminist hero, too, even though she\u2019s apparently a rather wretched person. She recently likened herself to Nelson Mandela by proxy.
