As Perezcious readers will recall, last week, The Wrap reported Pugh will severely limit her press engagements to promote the film. The outlet reported last Friday that the Little Women star would only be attending the movie’s Venice Film Festival premiere and red carpet event. Not exactly going above and beyond to push the project out to the people!
New on Wednesday morning, a source spoke to Us Weekly about that decision. According to this insider, it sounds like the war of words between the 26-year-old actress and her 38-year-old director is the cause for it all:
Can’t say it’s surprising considering all the gossip surrounding the motion picture, but oof…
For her part thus far, Florence has been pretty quiet about the flick, with Us noting she shared one clip on social media earlier this month pumping the September 23 release date, but other than that… zilch!
This is Wilde’s first directorial project since Booksmart, and yet it has been completely overcome by drama thus far. So much so that the House alum had to go on the record earlier this month to dispel some rumors about discord! In an interview with Variety, Wilde slammed suppositions that Pugh was paid less than co-star Harry Styles to helm the thriller:
Of course, much of the tension centers around actor Shia LaBeouf, who previously bounced
Olivia Wilde is looking stunning on the red carpet!
Olivia Wilde is continuing to promote her movie Don’t Worry Darling ahead of its release next weekend.
Shia LaBeouf is ready to end his he said, she said battle with Olivia Wilde. The stars have been publicly at odds over the narrative surrounding LaBeouf's exit from the Wilde-directed. LaBeouf was originally cast opposite Florence Pugh in a role that eventually went to Harry Styles and, while conducting interviews to promote the project, Wilde has said that LaBeouf was fired.
Florence Pugh shared a heartfelt message on social media after attending the “Don’t Worry Darling” Venice Film Festival premiere earlier this week.
Not aging well? Amid the offscreen Don’t Worry Darling drama, a resurfaced clip of Florence Pugh gushing about Olivia Wilde is making its rounds on social media.
is proving to be a very ironic title for Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about has unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the film's release next month.From the film's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Florence Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine have been dragged into the rumor mill over an alleged incident at the Venice Film Festival — which has been filled with drama for the film on all fronts.With the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head last week as the actor accused the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde supposedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it feels like risks being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.
The plot thickens. Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde‘s stylists appeared to have shared their thoughts on the actresses’ rumored feud.
Florence Pugh is thriving amid all the drama and online rumors caused by the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ film, showing that she is not letting it get to her despite her alleged feud with Olivia Wilde and some tension among the rest of the cast, including Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Sydney Chandler and Nick Kroll.The cast of the film walked the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival together, despite previous reports that detailed a pay disparity between Pugh and Styles, and a video that surfaced online, in which Wilde asks Shia LaBeouf to stay in the film, calling Florence, “Miss Flo.”And while Olivia had previously claimed that Shia had been fired for the project in an effort to create a “safer” working environment. The actor went on to respond saying that the director had in fact encouraged him to stay.Florence decided to skip press day during the festival, probably to avoid questions about the drama.
It looks like things went off reasonably well for Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh on the red carpet on Monday!
There wasn’t any PDA on this red carpet.
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.
The awkwardness continues for Olivia Wilde, Harry Styles, and Florence Pugh amid the Don’t Worry Darling press run and publicity period…
We still not haven’t heard from the horse’s mouth what the true origin is of the feud between Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh, but every other day it seems we’re getting more evidence of it!
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 revealed she "had to cut" sexy scenes from the "Don't Worry Darling" trailer. Wilde, who directed and stars in the film, admitted shots were removed from the trailer "at the last second" and noted we continue to live in a "really puritanical society." "There’s a lot that had to be taken out of the trailer," Wilde told The Associated Press. "The MPA came down hard on me and the trailer at the last second and I had to cut some shots, which I was upset about because I thought they took it up another notch.
Zack Sharf “Don’t Worry Darling” broke the internet with its first trailer, which included a scene in which Harry Styles’ character performs oral sex on Florence Pugh’s character on a dining room table. It turns out there would’ve been even more provocative scenes featured in the trailer had director Olivia Wilde gotten her way. The filmmaker told the Associated Press that the MPA ratings board “came down hard” on the original cut of the trailer and forced her to remove additional scenes that were deemed too risqué. “There’s a lot that had to be taken out of the trailer,” Wilde said when asked by the AP about including a “sex act” in the trailer. “The MPA came down hard on me and the trailer at the last second and I had to cut some shots, which I was upset about because I thought they it took it up another notch. But of course we still live in a really puritanical society. I do think the lack of eroticism in American film is kind of new. Then when it comes to female pleasure, it’s something that we just don’t see very often unless you’re talking about queer cinema.”
On different pages. Olivia Wilde and Shia LaBeouf have differing accounts of how their Don’t Worry Darling experience went down, which was the tipping point of their dramatic feud, but their relationship was strained from the start.
