Olivia Wilde Denies ‘Screaming Match’ With Florence Pugh on ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Set and Stayed Quiet on Rumors After Being Told: ‘Don’t Say a F—ing Word’

Olivia Wilde denied a "screaming match" with Florence Pugh on the set of "Don't Worry Darling" in an interview with The Cut. She also refuted claims that she was "not available on set" during the production of the 2022 psychological thriller. These rumors circulated widely amidst the film's release, which also starred Harry Styles. Wilde stated that the alleged incident, which involved her and Pugh, did not occur. She further elaborated on the intense scrutiny and speculation surrounding the film's production, suggesting that some of the narratives were manufactured. Wilde indicated that she was advised by a representative to "Don't Say a F---ing Word" regarding certain controversies, a directive she followed for a period. The film itself, released in September 2022, garnered significant media attention beyond its critical reception, largely due to these behind-the-scenes narratives.
