Olivia the oversharer!
Despite posing for photos on the red carpet, Olivia Wilde seemed oblivious to the fact that press was invited to watch her perform as part of Glamour's These Girls monologues in New York City October 8. During her stage show, the Butter star, 28, spoke quite explicitly about the demise of her eight-year marriage to Italian prince and filmmaker Tao Ruspoli, 36.
"I felt like my vagina died," she said of their sex life. "Turned off. Lights out . . . you can lie to your relatives at Christmas dinner and tell them everything on the home front is just peachy. But you cannot lie to your vagina."
Wilde's boyfriend of nine months, Saturday Night Live standout Jason Sudeikis, 37, was in the audience to support the former House, M.D. star. Announcing that she is "blissfully, hopefully, wildly in love," with the star of We're the Millers, Wilde bragged that she and Sudeikis "have sex like Kenyan marathon runners."
After the quotes were published by Vulture and went viral, Wilde regretted being so candid. "The These Girls monologues at Joe's Pub were not meant for publication, and, in context, were a celebration of love, girls, and honesty," she tweeted October 9. "Sneaky recorders are everywhere these days, but performance art doesn't always translate accurately to tabloid interpretation."
Even so, Wilde spoke to Vulture post-performance and was similarly frank. "Sometimes your vagina dies," she explained. "Then you know it's time to go. There's no reason to sacrifice your womanhood and femininity for some sort of weird feeling of responsibility to something that may not be right. I feel like far too many women do that."
"[Men] are not allowed to be the only ones thinking with their genitals," she added.
