'Grab some water and sit down': Olivia Wilde slammed for calling Rihanna’s BF A$AP Rocky ‘hot’ in cringey post
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Olivia Wilde has reportedly come under fire after she called A$AP Rocky “hot” and tagged his girlfriend, Rihanna, in an Instagram post before deleting it hours later. The 'Don’t Worry Darling' star, 38, reposted a video of the 34-year-old rapper filming the ‘Diamonds’ singer during her Super Bowl LVII halftime show on Sunday, February 12.
“If I thought he was hot before, this really put me over the edge,” Wilde wrote above the video in which she tagged Rihanna, who shares a nine-month-old son with Rocky and is expecting her second baby. Soon, the post garnered immense backlash from Rocky and Riri’s fans, with many calling the caption "inappropriate" and questioning if she was trying to flirt with Rocky or steal Rihanna's man. “She’s really living up to that last name [of] hers,” a user wrote.

Why did Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles break-up?
Wilde has been single since she and Harry Styles broke up in November 2022 after nearly two years of dating. A source close to Wilde and Styles, who recently scored major wins at the Grammys and the Brit Awards, revealed that the couple decided to split over their busy schedules which kept them away from each other for long periods of time. “It’s impossible to have a relationship when he’s in every continent [on tour] and Olivia has her job and her kids,” an insider told Page Six, adding, “This is the right thing for both of them.”
The ‘Late Night Talking’ hitmaker and Wilde started dating back in November 2020 shortly after she announced the end of her seven-year engagement to Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children, eight-year-old Otis and six-year-old Daisy. However, the actress denied leaving the 'Ted Lasso' star, 47, for Styles, saying their relationship “was over long before” she met the former One Direction member.
