Olivia Wilde hit with backlash after Taylor Swift climate dig: ‘I don’t remember Harry Styles restoring the ozone when they were dating’

Olivia Wilde is receiving criticism from fans after re-sharing a post from X about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumored romance.

On Friday, the 39-year-old director – who was spotted leaving the gym this week – shared a tweet via Instagram Stories that read: “I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist.”

The subtle jab referenced the recent frenzy surrounding the unlikely couple – Swift, 33, and Kelce, 34, who have captivated the nation with their new relationship over the past two weeks.

The tweet implied that the fuss surrounding the couple would be better focused on more important issues, such as climate change.

Online critics took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to air their opinions, and it wasn’t long before Wilde’s ex-boyfriend Harry Styles was brought into the conversation.

“I get it, but I also… who is Olivia Wilde to say something like that. I don’t remember Harry Styles repairing the ozone layer when they were dating,” one commenter wrote.

Wilde and Styles dated from January 2021 to November 2022, generating similarly insatiable fan interest in their relationship.

Someone said: ‘She wasn’t worried about climate change when she flew across the country chasing Harry Lmao.’

There was also a harsh opinion that said: ‘Olivia Wilde is the last person who should criticize anyone about who they date.’

Another person simply said, “Olivia Wilde is jealous of Taylor Swift.”

One person wrote: ‘Olivia Wilde is just an aging mean girl.’

Swift and Kelce were first linked just over a month ago, but the NFL star is reportedly already in love with the pop star.

However, the Ohio native spent his birthday on October 5 with a mysterious blonde in Kansas City, while Swift was nowhere to be seen.

On Friday morning, Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce visited the Today show and talked about her first meeting with Swift.

She seemed a little uncomfortable and said, “It’s quite new, so I don’t like to talk about it. It’s just one of those things where, you know, everyone saw me clearly. It’s just something else that has given my life a boost.”
