Oh god, you are right, I never thought about him jumping on the Olivia hate bandwagon as a pr move but it does make sense
yeah watching ppl hype shia labeof up in that situation despite everything (warning for discussion of abuse and sexual assault in the link), just bc he was positioned opposite two ppl who were very popular to hate at the time... unsurprising but deeply darksided. olivia wilde did in fact keep him on the movie for like six months after the allegations were made and suit filed, (although contrary to what that post implies he was fired before the movie started shooting; harry styles was his replacement), but like, the olivia hatetrain was not at all about that and we all know it. a truly abysmal couple of months for the internet
