Olivia gets personal in the upcoming August issue of Marie Claire, talking about the hardship of her divorce and the Kardashians…what?
In the upcoming August issue of Marie Claire, the usually very-private Olivia Wilde opens up about love and life. She speaks candidly about her ongoing divorce: what went wrong and why she’s at peace with the decision!Olivia, who was married to husband Tao Ruspoli for eight years, says “the trauma of the whole thing has been humbling, and for the first time, I’m a little bit wobbly.”
Olivia does seem happy with the decision though, saying, “Even though it didn’t work out, there is nothing I regret about it.”
Now onto the good stuff: why is Olivia dissing the Kardashians? “I’d like to refocus everyone’s attention away from the Kardashians and onto Doctors Without Borders or aid workers. Scandal is not who so-and-so is dating; scandal is the fact that 1.2 million people are still living in tents in Haiti, and cholera is rampant because Nepalese U.N. soldiers dumped shit from their Porta-Potties into the river.”
That seems like a DIRECT shot at the Kardashians. I get that they are pretty much known as being famous for being famous, but what did they ever do to Olivia? They are all known for being super nice and have talked candidly about always giving a percentage of their profits to charities.
So just because they’re not out fighting world hunger or treating sick children in Africa — that makes them bad people? Remember Olivia, I don’t see you serving food to starving kids all over the world…that would be Angelina Jolie.

Umm… Olivia never said they were “bad people” and didn’t comment on their characters. She said we should focus more attention on real issues. Way to make a story out of nothing!

umm what i heard about this interview was that she said that divorce made her a better actress HAHAHAHA lady! shut it! you cant act! A morning skit to skip school from me is more critically acclaimed than any of your performances! i’d like her to give up acting she only is good for plastering her pretty face around she should model not act

I don’t think it was a diss. I think it was just a clever way for her to get people to pay attention to what she has to say. Looks like it worked.

How was that a diss? She was just saying something that is true. It wasn’t a direct attack on the Kardashians, she was just using them as examples. Stop wasting your time on who’s dating who and more onto real matters

actually she’s saying people should stop just paying attention to celebrities and famous events. people all over the world everywhere are dying and suffering and the media just focuses on the new celebrity drama.

and you, by the way, are wrong again because olivia has gone to haiti numerous times and been a direct part of building schools and theaters and feeding children. just because she hasn’t publicized or garnered the same attention angelina has, doesn’t mean you’re not obligated to do your research.

this post is the definition of drama mongering. she wasn’t targeting the kardashians at all as i read it, but how much attention the media pays attention to a family who really has no purpose outside of being “celebrities” and the resources spent on developing/propelling their images that could be harnessed for a better purpose. but i’m sure this is also one of the blogs that says she’s dating every co star from bradley cooper to justin timberlake, too.

I agree with Olivia.. People and the “media” should focus their time bringing to light far more pressing subjects such as the ongoing food/water crisis in Africa. People are dying by the minute and yet media outlets focus on the thousands of $$$ that a celebrity has spent in seconds or the next Kardashian “drama” (I don’t know how people buy the stuff they advertise)…. It’s disturbing…
Oliva has a charity in Haiti and she has worked in the field, unlike others who just cut a check to make themselves feel better and to get a tax break…

that sounds to me like a 100% true statement. I feel like she’s making more of a comment towards the people who spend all of their free time following the Kardashians every move when there are much more important things going on in the world
