This seems possibly overblown, given that she already did that Bazaar cover story, and it’s not like she’s been completely silent about the movie-not to mention the fact that she is busy shooting Dune: Part Two-but it further fueled the chatter. On Friday, entertainment outlets reported that Pugh would be substantially limiting the amount of press she did for Don’t Worry Darling. Fans also read this as a dig at Wilde, who has been outspoken in the press about the movie’s empowering (in her view) treatment of sex. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Pugh spoke about being uncomfortable with audiences’ outsized interest in the movie’s sex scenes. When Pugh’s casting was announced, she gushed on Instagram about how excited she was to work with Wilde, calling the director her “idol.” In more recent months, though, Pugh has refrained from re-sharing any of Wilde’s posts praising or congratulating her, and when Pugh has posted about the movie, fans have written it off as unenthusiastic. Fans have noticed that while Pugh is normally effusive about her projects on social media, she’s been uncharacteristically quiet about this one. Most of the evidence falls into the silence-speaking-volumes category: It’s what Pugh hasn’t said, rather than what she has. Is there any actual proof that Pugh is displeased with Wilde? Still, even if there is tension, and we don’t 100 percent know that there is, we don’t really know what it’s about. But the alleged affair having a negative impact on on-set morale feels a little more plausible as a reason for tension between the two. This is pretty thin evidence, it must be said, and it sounds a little unrealistic that a star would torpedo her own movie because she took issue with its director’s morals. There was yet another report, this time from a site called Showbiz Galore, that Styles was paid more than three times as much as Pugh for the film, but Showbiz Galore cited no sources, while Wilde has told Variety that Styles, a supporting actor, was not paid more money than her leading actress. This frankly pretty flimsy-sounding source was followed up by an even more unreliable one a few days later in the form of an anonymous tip to DeuxMoi, the celebrity gossip Instagram account, discussing a “very hyped sophomore movie” where the “gorgeous female director” had supposedly shirked some of her directing responsibilities. “I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry,” a source told Page Six in July. Wilde recently endured a messy split from her former fiancé, Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis, and there has been speculation that her romance with Styles began before her relationship with Sudeikis was over. The two met and reportedly began their relationship while filming the movie. Yes, though they won’t actually admit it or talk about their relationship, and that’s part of this. How does Harry Styles fit into this? Aren’t he and Olivia Wilde dating?
