Harry Styles has responded to the abuse aimed at those close to him, including girlfriend Olivia Wilde, saying: “That obviously doesn’t make me feel good.”
The 28-year-old former One Direction star has been in a relationship with actress and director Olivia, 38, since she cast him in her forthcoming film, Don’t Worry Darling. Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine as part of a cover profile, he described Twitter as “a s***storm of people trying to be awful to people” and acknowledged how some on the internet treated his friends and partners poorly.
He told the publication even with the boundaries he has set between his public and private lives, sometimes “other people blur the lines for you.” Addressing the pressure his fame places on relationships, he said: “Can you imagine going on a second date with someone and being like, ‘OK, there’s this corner of the thing, and they’re going to say this, and it’s going to be really crazy, and they’re going to be really mean, and it’s not real… But anyway, what do you want to eat?’
