Olivia Wilde Breaks Silence on ‘Screaming Match Row' with Florence Pugh

Wilde said a reported feud and her romance with Harry Styles fueled false claims about the film’s set, while 40 crew members backed her account.

  • On Wednesday, actor-director Olivia Wilde denied long-standing rumors of a "screaming match" with Florence Pugh on the set of the 2022 psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling, stating she was never unavailable on set.
  • Widespread rumors plagued the 2022 production, fueled by alleged feuds between Wilde and Pugh, plus the director's off-screen romance with star Harry Styles that allegedly originated during filming.
  • Crew members fiercely defended Wilde against unprofessionalism claims, while the director revealed the studio previously demanded silence: "Don't say a fucking word. Just go out there and smile."
  • Seeking to avoid past frustrations, Wilde is managing her third feature film's press tour differently, taking control of the narrative after feeling misunderstood during the Don't Worry Darling rollout.
  • Post-Don't Worry Darling and entering her 40s, Wilde feels an immense shift, describing that period as the time she felt most disconnected from her public perception and reality.
