Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde got into a "screaming match" on the set of #DontWorryDarling and Flo was so mad she told then-Warner Bros boss Toby Emmerich she wasn't going to promote DWD in a "long negotiation process." My report: bit.ly/3SoFSWY
.@NYMag lawyers really ripped the guts out of this story. Wish you could read my original draft
Re the screaming argument: “Florence would give input on how she thought the next scene should be shot when Olivia wasn’t there. She was like, ‘I’m directing this movie more than you are!’ That was yelled at one point and people heard it. That spread all around very quickly.”
this from an unimpeachable source who has zero agenda against the film or anyone who worked on it
re Flo v Toby: “She voiced her displeasure. It was a long negotiation process." Pugh’s complaints? “Just that she was unhappy with Olivia. She doesn’t want to support the movie. And she just felt that she wasn’t taken care of by the director. That she doesn’t like her, basically”
FWIW reps for Olivia and Wilde did not respond to my request for comment. A spokesperson for Warner Bros said Toby was traveling and unavailable for comment
Last thing: the DWD crew was extremely pissed when Olivia was photographed with Harry at that wedding in Jan 2021 because she frequently gave them "lectures": “‘Don’t be stupid. You’re fucking up our movie. Don’t go to parties. Don’t congregate."
Acc to my source: “There were so many complaints from the crew saying, ‘How dare she tell us to shelter in place while we’re doing this movie? And yet she goes to a public wedding with a group of people? This is fucking crazy!" 1/2
"So many people complained. That’s the turning point. That’s when everyone started hating her." 2/2
