If you look at it from the outside, the filming process of Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling has been a tumultuous affair, and it’s not looking for the director. Reports suggest that Florence Pugh had a fallout with director Wilde with various concerns regarding the movie, and honestly we’re not surprised that the release of the movie is getting so dramatic.
The old saying called “Don’t date your co-workers” is pretty applicable here, as Wilde’s affair with actor Harry Styles on set didn’t go over very well with the whole crew, let alone Pugh. Not only that, news about Wilde forcing her star actress to work with the now disgraced abuser Shia LaBeouf before Styles has also got her a lot of stick from the internet.

Florence Pugh’s Silence On The Release Of The Movie Speaks Volumes Against Olivia Wilde
It is no surprise that Florence Pugh is currently not on terms to negotiate with Olivia Wilde in any way. The Midsommar actress is reported to have fallen out with Wilde too and is doing almost nothing to contribute towards the promotion of Don’t Worry Darling, which is pretty telling.

Adding to the controversy surrounding the movie, it was also reported that Wilde’s affair with actor Harry Styles, which developed after Styles got cast in place of LaBeouf, made Pugh uncomfortable. This gets messier when you get to know that Wilde’s now former husband, Jason Sudeikis, used to visit her on set with their two kids.
In official terms, neither Pugh nor Wilde is coming forward to address the issue in hand, and it’s all just a matter of time until that happens because you can’t just sabotage the premiere of a new movie like this, I may be wrong, though.

Another called the movie “a mess”-
So many things have been wrong with #DontWorryDarling and if Flo wasn’t in this film I wouldn’t watch it.
From the female lead being underpaid, to the director’s unprofessional actions and the video that came out today… all just a mess. pic.twitter.com/ttMbdmrqys— 🦋 (@belovastrilogy) August 27, 2022

Twitter is definitely on Pugh’s side-
I now completely understand why Florence Pugh wants nothing to do with Olivia Wilde and #DontWorryDarling and I don’t blame her. https://t.co/cwJimz0Bvc

Let’s hope this all gets sorted out, but Wilde needs to take accountability for her actions.
