Pregnant Olivia Wilde slams subway riders for not giving up seats

Olivia Wilde publicly slammed her fellow New York City subway riders on Twitter Wednesday after they refused to give up their seats for the pregnant actress.

“NBD, able-bodied riders who won’t give your seat to a GIANT preggo. I’ll just stand riiiiight next to your head and pray I go into labor,” Wilde tweeted.

Wilde’s tweet struck a chord with many people online, and in a tweet that has now been deleted, someone responded with a comment that received some harsh words.

“1. I didn’t tell u to get pregnant 2. Get an Uber (you can afford it) 3. I paid the same amt as you for the subway ride,” the user wrote, according to E Online.

Wilde responded with: “1. Eat a bag of dicks. 2. That is all.”

Singer John Legend, who often engages in contentious back-and-forth Twitter wars, joined the discussion with the tweeter who offered the tips to Wilde.

Wilde’s tweets began creating a number of responses from users who needed to vent about common courtesy.

The Vinyl actress is pregnant with her second child with fiancé Jason Sudeikis. They already have a 2-year-old son, Otis.

Sudeikis recently told People at TIFF that he picked the right person to have children with.

“When I look at Olivia and the way that she pulls off all these things — it’s gonna be easy for him to grow up in a house of love and respect, because I feel that way about his mom,” he shared.

The two met at a Saturday Night Live after-party in 2011 and began dating shortly afterwards. They got engaged in January 2013.

Remember, it’s common courtesy to give up your seat to a pregnant, elderly or disabled person when you’re sitting on public transportation. Don’t be that girl/guy.
