Olivia Wilde says Harry Styles romance ‘hurt’ her career

Olivia Wilde said the backlash she had during her relationship with Harry Styles “hurt” her career and personal life.

The American actress and director, 42, dated the former One Direction star, 32, for nearly two years before they split in 2022.

Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast on Monday (20 July), Wilde opened up on the “multidimensional scandals” which plagued her 2022 film Don’t Worry Darling, where she and Styles met.

Wilde said the media frenzy “hurt” her film, as well as negatively impacting herself. “It hurt me for sure, because I was so naive up until that point about the grinder, the garbage disposal that the internet can be.”
