Wilde, 38, is regularly photographed out and about, more so following the drama of her latest film "Don't Worry Darling."

“Don’t Worry Darling,” according to a new interview. Wilde, 38 — who directed the film as well as starring with Pugh — said it’s “shocking” to see “so many untruths traded as fact,” in regards to the behind-the-scenes drama of the highly anticipated flick.Speaking with Ellefor the 2022 Women in Hollywood November issue, Wilde said Pugh made a “wise comment” when she recently quipped that the cast “didn’t sign up for a reality show.”“And I love that she put it that way, because it’s as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you’re selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves,” Wilde continued. “No, that’s actually not part of the job description.

Zack Sharf Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” press tour was chaotic, to say the least. In a new interview with Elle magazine, Wilde expressed disappointment in how the media took all of the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding the film and “minimized [it] into bite-size TikTok points,” adding, “This film is trying to ask big questions, but [it’s] ‘Let’s just focus on this sideshow over here.’” Rumors circulated for months that Wilde and her “Don’t Worry Darling” lead Florence Pugh feuded on set. Social media users spent much of the film’s press tour hunting for confirmation wherever they could find it, be it Pugh’s lack of social media promotion for the movie or the duo keeping their distance during the film’s Venice Film Festival world premiere. Then drama erupted around Shia LaBeouf’s exit from the film, with LaBeouf leaking a video of Wilde trying to get him back despite clear reservations from Pugh over working with him. And don’t forget about the video of Harry Styles allegedly spitting on Chris Pine (both of their reps denied such an act took place).

A lot has been said about the “Don’t Worry Darling” sex scenes, but director Olivia Wilde insists there’s much more to the film.

Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh have been flooding headlines for months. While the two have both tried their best to dispel the rumors, the questions about what really happened behind the scenes of keep coming.

Her first film was Booksmart, and her second should have been titled Mediasmart. Instead it’s Don’t Worry Darling, and it’s been a worry from the outset.

We’ve heard tons about the feud between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde on the set of Don’t Worry Darling. But it turns out there’s another actress from the film who has some issues — and unlike Miss Flo she’s voicing them on her social media.

Crew members on Don’t Worry Darling have publicly dismissed claims of a "screaming match" between actress Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde. After an unnamed source revealed to Vulture that Olivia and her lead actress were feuding and had screaming matches on set, crew members for the film released a joint statement refuting the claim. In Vulture’s 23 September report, the outlet wrote that an “inside source” saw Olivia and her boyfriend Harry Styles, who stars in the movie as Florence's husband, “just disappear” together while working.

"Don't Worry Darling" did not disappoint at the box office, darling. Olivia Wilde's sophomore release earned $19.2 million domestically, nabbing the top spot across theatrical releases nationwide.
