“They said, ‘Listen, how you get respect on a set, you have to have three arguments a day,'” Wilde said. “Three great arguments that restore your strength, remind everyone who leads, to be the predator.” This is the opposite of my process. And I don’t want any of that. ”
She went on to emphasize her contempt for the split between the cast and crew members on the set.
“Politics without holes. It puts everyone on the same level, ”Wilde said. “I also noticed as an actress for years, how the hierarchy of the set separated the crew actors in this very strange way that does not serve anyone.
“I think actors would like to know more about what’s going on there when you get my attention?” What is lens change? “She said. “But the idea of not bothering the actors and keeping them separate and not looking at them. I think it worries everyone. ”
Wilde’s bottomless proclamation comes just months after LaBeouf, 34, stepped down as frontman for “Don’t Worry Darling,” a 1950s California psychological fiction play.

Composer Katy Rose also lent her voice to the shout, claiming that the alum “Transformers” sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers.
“I grew up with Shia LaBeouf in Los Angeles. I was the same age, I ran in the same circles and at the same time I worked as children in the entertainment industry.
