One of the worst theories I’m seeing (both on here and on Twitter, mainly from PR harries but even that little clique of mean girl harries has spread this) is that Olivia is using the fact that she got served on stage as PR for her and the movie. They think she leaked that she got served (which is false - attendees live tweeted it as it happened), they think she leaked what the actual documents were (again, false because multiple articles said her reps refused to comment) and now they are saying she leaked the Backgrid video that came out an hour after the DWD trailer dropped for more publicity.
Why in the HELL would she do any of those things? Honestly I want to know their reasoning for this (besides the obvious reason that they made it all up because they hate her). The movie trailer had over a million views across social media in an hour and tons of movie critics and actual industry people have praised it since CinemaCon. It’s got Oscar buzz already. Why would she need to leak details about a private custody matter when we haven’t heard one single peep about any issues with her and Jason’s co-parenting in the last 2 years? Wouldn’t it make much more sense to say Jason planned all of this as well as leaked the Backgrid video to actually make her look terrible and draw attention away from the film where she and Harry met? He’s the only one giving interviews and statements. She hasn’t spoken Jason’s name in 2 years and she has obviously moved on from that relationship. Jason appears to have moved on too but it also seems like he may still want to get in little digs at her when he can since he keeps speaking about it.
But I truly think this little theory of theirs is totally vile and makes me sick to my stomach. Along with the one where everyone on the cast and crew hates her, hates the movie and she was unprofessional on set so Florence had to step in and direct the whole thing. All of that was completely made up and submitted to DeuxMoi and now tons of them just take it as fact. Meanwhile when DM posts that she thinks H&O are engaged - they scream, cry, throw up and talk about what a hack DeuxMoi is and that she knows nothing. Hmmm which is it then? It’s hard to stick to just one narrative apparently.
You said it all!!!! I promise this is not how she wants to do PR for her movie. She's worked hard to make a name for herself in the industry and earn respect as a female director in an extremely male-dominated field. She's not going to deliberately screw with that by putting her personal life front and center in the promo for her film. I don't understand why everyone thinks her ex is a saint who can do no wrong and don't suspect that he's doing all of this in a very calculated manner to fuck with her. They always have to assume she, the woman, is being conniving and manipulative and self-serving behind the scenes instead of assuming her ex is trying to punish her because he's a dick. It's all so blatantly misogynistic like it's almost laughable.
