Olivia Wilde made this conservative cry after calling him a “hero to the incel community”
Don’t Worry Darling‘s press tour has been nothing short of madness, and now its torrent of tabloids has claimed one more (unlikely) victim: Anti-LGBTQ conservative pedagog Jordan Peterson.The Olivia Wilde-directed thriller has been feeding those of us who live on the extreme end of the “messy b*tch who lives for drama” scale, offering up rumored on-set feuds, spit-swapping, and so much more.
But even while its busy pulling solid box office numbers, Don’t Worry Darling‘s reign of chaos isn’t over yet.The latest unfolded on a recent edition of Piers Morgan Uncensored, of all places.
The disgraced English “host” welcomed Canadian “professor” Peterson onto his program to talk about whatever it is two conservative trolls talk about.But, at one point, Morgan referenced an Interview Magazine profile of Wilde, in which the actor-director revealed that Don’t Worry Darling‘s villain (played by Chris Pine) is based on Peterson.
In the piece, she describes Peterson as “this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community,’ and Morgan wondered what he thought of that label:“Incels being these weirdo, loner men who are despicable in many ways—is that you?,” Morgan asked. “Are you the intellectual hero to these people?”“Sure, why not,” Peterson responded. “You know, people have been after me for a long time because I’ve been speaking to disaffected young men.”Related: Online pranksters are remixing Jordan Peterson’s transphobic rant into hilariously mocking videosIt’s at this point in the conversation that Peterson gets visibly choked up.
