Olivia Wilde Vs. Florence Pugh: More Inside Sources Spill About On-Set Origins Of Feud

The cinematographer from Don’t Worry Darling wants to reassure everyone that there is absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to those rumors of chaos behind the scenes … somewhat!

Olivia Wilde has addressed the "baseless" rumours about her feud with Don't Worry Darling star Florence Pugh. The filmmaker and British actress have long been dogged by speculation that they didn't get along while making the psychological thriller. Their appearance at the Venice Film Festival earlier this week made matters worse as they didn't pose together or appear to share eye contact when the film received a standing ovation, while Florence has barely mentioned Wilde or the movie on social media.

Olivia Wilde is putting everything on the table in her new magazine interview and she addressed nearly everything that fans have been talking about for the past several weeks.

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.

Olivia Wilde juggles a lot of roles: actress, mum, director, girlfriend – but they’re not gelling all that well. Last week, tensions around her latest directorial project Don’t Worry Darling exploded, as Olivia was publicly accused of lying by actor Shia LaBeouf, while the movie’s star, Florence Pugh, seems to have distanced herself from the film.It comes in the midst of an increasingly bitter custody battle with her ex, Jason Sudeikis, and now an insider tells heat that all the stress is taking its toll on Olivia’s relationship with Harry Styles.“Olivia has taken such a battering recently,” says an insider close to the star, who began dating the 1D singer in 2020, shortly after ending things with her then-fiancé Jason.

Olivia Wilde dodged a question about her rumoured feud with Don't Worry Darling star Florence Pugh during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival on Monday. After weeks of speculation that the Booksmart director doesn't get along with her thriller's leading lady, Wilde was asked by a journalist on Monday if she could "clear the air" about the rumours. Wilde didn't directly answer the question but noted that she doesn't feel the need "to contribute" to the tabloid gossip surrounding her latest film.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” is a movie that, in recent weeks, has been besieged and consumed by offscreen dramas, none of which I’ll recount here, except to note that when a film’s lead actress seems actively reluctant to publicize the film in question, that’s a sign of some serious discord. Yet it would be hugely unfair to allow this tempest in a teapot of gossipy turmoil to influence one’s feelings about the movie. If you want to talk about problems related to “Don’t Worry Darling,” you need look no further than at what’s onscreen. The film, written by Katie Silberman, with the brilliant production design of Katie Byron, is a kind of candy-colored “Stepford Wives” in the Twilight Zone meets “The Handmaid’s Tale” for the age of torn-at-the-seams democracy. In theory, this should add up to a juicy watch. Wilde, whose first feature was the witty and vivacious 2019 girls-on-a-bender comedy “Booksmart” (this is her second film), is a gifted director who knows how to set a mood. In “Don’t Worry Darling,” she does that to the max, and for a while you get caught up in it (or, at least, I did). Between the pop ambition, the tasty dream visuals, and the presence of Harry Styles in his first lead role, “Don’t Worry Darling” should have no trouble finding an audience. But the movie takes you on a ride that gets progressively less scintillating as it goes along.

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.

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.
