Olivia Wilde dismissed the "tabloid gossip" surrounding her latest film "Don't Worry Darling" while answering press questions at the Venice Film Festival. Wilde, who starred in and directed the film, was asked about Florence Pugh's absence from the press event, according to multiple reports. Following filming, rumors surfaced that Pugh and Wilde had a falling out after the director began a romantic relationship with lead actor Harry Styles.

Manori Ravindran International Editor Olivia Wilde isn’t commenting on alleged tensions between her and Florence Pugh, the lead of her movie. When asked at a Venice press conference whether Wilde can “clear the air” about the rumors surrounding their strained relationship, the director said: “Florence is a force. We are so grateful she’s able to make it tonight [for the red carpet]. I’m grateful to her, and to [‘Dune’ director Denis Villeneuve] for helping us. I can’t say how honored I am to have her as our lead. “As for all the endless tabloid gossip out there, the Internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute; I think it’s sufficiently self-nourished,” said Wilde.

Olivia Wilde landed in Italy Sunday separately from boyfriend Harry Styles ahead of the "Don't Worry Darling" movie premiere at the Venice Film Festival Monday night, where Florence Pugh will not be in attendance for the press conference post screening. Wilde, who marks her second time in the director's chair with the new thriller, seemed to be in high spirits as she touched down at the Italian airport wearing a cream-colored suit.

TELLURIDE – At this point in his career, Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio continues to veer toward slightly unexpected choices. He broke through the global cinephile consciousness with 2013’s “Gloria,” a crowd-pleaser about a fiftysomething woman trying to find love in the discos of Santiago.

It seems not a day goes by that we’re not talking about the apparent feud between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde, who worked together on the upcoming psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling. So much has happened between when the cast was first announced to now, and as the film approaches its premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 5, 2022, it wouldn’t be surprising if you’re struggling to keep up or completely unaware what the controversy is in the first place. This is the Olivia Wilde-Florence Pugh feud explained, plus why we think it sounds more legitimate than ever.

Olivia Wilde is speaking up about a recent report that stated a pay gap between Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, in reference to their latest film ‘Don’t Worry Darling.’The director of the highly anticipated film talked about the ongoing rumor during her interview with Variety, as it was reported that the singer was getting paid three times more than the actress.Now Olivia is denying all reports regarding the salary of the two stars, including a rumor that claimed Pugh was “unhappy about Wilde and Styles’ relationship.”“There has been a lot out there that I largely don’t pay attention to,” Olivia said. “But the absurdity of invented clickbait and subsequent reaction regarding a nonexistent pay disparity between our lead and supporting actors really upset me.”The filmmaker went on to say that she has been an advocate for equal payment in the entertainment industry, and had a great experience working with both actors.“I’m a woman who has been in this business for over 20 years, and it’s something that I have fought for myself and others, especially being a director.

The director of “Don’t Worry Darling” is dispelling some rumours.

Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent If you haven’t heard of “Don’t Worry Darling,” you’ve probably read something about it. Olivia Wilde’s upcoming movie has become one of the most talked-about films of the year, especially considering it doesn’t even hit theaters for another month. Ever since “Don’t Worry Darling” was announced, the psychological thriller has attracted considerable attention in the tabloids and across social media with internet sleuths picking apart each and every detail of the film that stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. The latest gossip to come from the “Don’t Worry Darling” rumor mill claimed that Styles made more than three times Pugh’s salary on the film. (While Styles is the male lead, Pugh is, without question, the star of “Don’t Worry Darling.”)

Olivia Wilde is talking about the O-word. No, not the Oscars, but her approach to sex scenes in her new movie, “Don’t Worry Darling.” “Men don’t come in this film,” she declares over cucumber sandwiches and scones at Claridge’s, just blocks away from Buckingham Palace. “Only women here!” In Wilde’s second directorial outing after 2019’s indie high school coming-of-age story “Booksmart,” Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star as a married couple living in a quaint, experimental utopia called Victory. Pugh plays Alice, a “Mad Men”-type housewife whose reality begins to crack, revealing disturbing truths underneath her seemingly perfect world. When the trailer for the sci-fi thriller dropped in May, social media was buzzing about Styles’ character, Jack, going down on Alice on top of a dining room table.
