(CNN) — Olivia Wilde explained why she posted about Rihanna’s partner A$AP Rocky in relation to the singer’s Super Bowl halftime performance.
The “Don’t Worry Darling” director and actress shared a Rolling Stone video in the stories section of her verified Instagram account in which A$AP Rocky was seen joyfully filming Rihanna’s performance this Sunday during the great game.
The rapper and singer have a son together, who was born in May 2022, and Rihanna revealed she was pregnant again during her halftime show.
Wilde tagged the couple in his post, writing: “If I thought I was hot before, this really pushed me over the edge.”
That didn’t sit well with some who commented on her post that Wilde was being inappropriate and “thirsty” for another woman’s man.
The original post expired, but Wilde re-shared the video on Monday with an explanation.
“For anyone who got it wrong (eye roll emoji)…it’s sexy to respect your partner,” she wrote. “Especially when your partner just did thatoooo.”
