Olivia Wilde addresses Florence Pugh skipping Don't Worry Darling press: 'As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel I need to contribute to it.”
Olivia Wilde addresses actress Florence Pugh’s absence from Don’t Worry Darling press. Pugh, who stars opposite Harry Styles in the Wilde-directed Don’t Worry Darling, has recently been reported not to be attending any of the press for Don’t Worry Darling beyond its premiere. Pugh is currently working a busy schedule as she shoots her scenes for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2.
Many people, however, have chalked Pugh’s absence up to potential drama between Pugh and Wilde. Ever since the trailer for Don’t Worry Darling was released and more publicity came out about the film, rumors soon swirled about drama between Pugh and Wilde. Pugh has criticized the marketing for Don’t Worry Darling, saying that it over-sexualizes its female protagonists. Wilde has negated this, saying that those scenes are crucial to the film and that those sex scenes focus on female pleasure.
“Florence is a force, we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production. As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel I need to contribute to it.” Pugh and Wilde have yet to address their personal drama head-on. Here, Wilde brooches the subject, referencing the “endless tabloid gossip,” which definitely includes the potential drama between her and Pugh. Wilde, however, still does not directly address this aspect of the drama, referencing the gossip more generally. With her refusal to contribute to the drama, Wilde still leaves audiences in the dark as to what the status of the relationship between her and Pugh truly is.
In the end, Wilde’s vague statement does not do enough to dispel the myth of her and Pugh’s tension. With so many rumors circulating about Don’t Worry Darling, the film will carry significant baggage with it as it screens in wide release later this month.
