Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde had ‘screaming match’ on Don’t Worry Darling set

Tensions on the set of scandal-plagued film Don’t Worry Darling allegedly culminated in a “screaming match” between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde.

Darling, you may need to worry now.

Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde reportedly got into a “screaming match” on the embattled set of Don’t Worry Darling, theNew York Post reports.

An unnamed insider who reportedly spent “significant time” on the set of the psychological thriller claimed to Vulture that a “blowout argument” took place between Wilde, 38, and Pugh, 26, in January 2021, about three-quarters of the way into production.

Leading up to the alleged fight, Pugh reportedly grew frustrated with Wilde’s “frequent, unexplained absences” — which may have had something to do with Wilde’s then-new relationship with Harry Styles, who also stars in the film.

According to sources, director Wilde would often ‘disappear’ from work.

Styles and Wilde met on the set of the film.

“Olivia and Harry would just disappear,” the insider claimed to the site.

The tension eventually came to a head when the “screaming match” between Wilde and Pugh allegedly occurred, according to the report.

Reps for Wilde and Pugh did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

However, this is not the first time allegations of drama on the Don’t Worry Darling set have come out.

Page Six broke the news in July that Pugh was unhappy over Wilde and Styles’ relationship.

“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 the publication at the time, referring to Wilde’s ex, Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis.

The film’s lead is said to have taken issue with Wilde’s alleged affair.

The feud was fuelled when Wilde claimed she fired Shia LaBeouf as the film’s male lead and replaced him with Styles, 28, to make sure Pugh felt “safe” and “supported,” the scandal-plagued Transformers actor, 36, released a series of emails via Variety in August that claimed he was the one who walked away.

LaBeouf also sent a video he received from Wilde, in which she begged him to stay on the film and appeared to slight Pugh, saying, “I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo.”

Soon after, Pugh skipped a press conference to promote the movie during the Venice Film Festival.

Wilde claimed at the conference that the Midsommar star was absent because she was in “production” on Dune: Part Two but noted Pugh was confirmed to join the cast on the red carpet later that night.

The full cast reunited on the red carpet at the Venice International Film Festival, but Pugh has skipped on other appearances.

However, Pugh also skipped out on the New York City premiere of Don’t Worry Darling on September 19.

“From what I understand, there is friction, but I don’t know why,” a source told Rolling Stone earlier this month. “It’s pretty clear [Florence is] choosing not to be a part of the PR. It’s clearly not beneficial to Olivia to not have her be a part of the PR. It has to be a Florence decision.”

Amid it all, a cinematographer who worked on Don’t Worry Darling, which hits Australian theatres October 6th, recently tried to debunk any feud claims.

“When I hear that there are rumours of acrimony on the set — I reject it. It wasn’t apparent at all, to be honest,” Matthew Libatique insisted on the Hollywood Reporter’s Behind the Screen podcast.

“From my standpoint, the stories are completely untrue when it comes to being on set. I can’t speak to post-production at all.”
