Olivia Wilde, 42, admitted that her romance with 32-year-old Harry Styles ‘really upset people’.
Harry and Olivia dated from late 2020 to November 2022 and she also spoke about the ‘impossible burden’ Harry has to carry as an adored superstar.
She breaks her silence on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, Olivia told host Alex Cooper: ‘It really did upset people! People were f***ing p***ed!
‘We had the loveliest relationship! Like, so sweet and so beautiful and domestic. I think that we existed in this little bubble and the judgment never really got into that bubble, which was a miracle and a real testament to us making that happen.
She continued: ‘There was all this public madness but my private life was very far from it and very actually kind of wholesome and sweet.
‘I had real joy and love and happiness during that time. It was like the tornado was right outside the door and if you were inside, you were like, it’s so nice and then you’d open the door and a cow and a tractor would fly by.’
She said: ‘It had a lot to do with the kind of parasocial relationship people have with him which is a burden that is very weighty – and not something I envy.’
‘It’s almost like the happiness made them [the fans] mad. I would go to his shows and dance – and people were like, “Oh, oh good. You slut. “How dare you dance and smile?”‘
