Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh Do Not Actually Hate Each Other, Sources Say
Florence Pugh won't attend the NYC premiere of the film, but "insiders" assured Rolling Stone that the Don't Worry Darling drama has been overblown.

I’m over “darling, I’m worried!” puns. There was a brief window in which they worked, but that period has long since passed. What I’m not over, however, is the enduring gossip surrounding Don’t Worry Darling, and I will not know peace until I hear exactly what happened on that set and what has gone down between the cast members.
Luckily for me, the incessant news cycle continues: “Sources” dropped Rolling Stone a few breadcrumbs of new insight into DWD’s onset dynamics in a piece published Wednesday. “It’s shocking to me that all this is going on,” an anonymous person involved with the film told RS. “I never noticed one second of tension on that set. Not one second.”
To back up a bit before I continue, in case you’ve somehow avoided this gossip, here is a synopsis of what’s going on: Earlier this summer, as promotion for Don’t Worry Darling (directed by Olivia Wilde, erstwhile fiancé of Jason Sudeikis aka Mr. Ted Lasso himself) ramped up, fans began noticing that the star of the film, Florence Pugh, was not talking about it on Instagram, even as a) she promoted her other upcoming projects, and b) Wilde heaped praise upon Pugh’s performance. Speculation swirled that Pugh disapproved of Wilde taking up with Harry Styles, who plays Pugh’s husband, and who began dating Wilde at some point during the production of the film. This past weekend, Don’t Worry Darling premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and Pugh, Wilde, and Styles did not pose next to each other on the red carpet, did not sit next to each other in the theater, and appeared to barely speak or make eye contact. Pugh was gracious during the standing ovation the film received, yet cut it short by leaving early. Co-stars Nick Kroll and Chris Pine’s natural charisma did a lot of heavy lifting, and the sixth glossy name attached to the film, Gemma Chan, remained admirably above the fray. There was also some internet discussion as to whether Styles spit on Pine, but both men’s reps adamantly denied the allegation.
