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.
