‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Crew Members Refute ‘Screaming Match’ Report

Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh did NOT enter a war of words on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling” — in spite of a report declaring so — according to lots of team members.

40 individuals who dealt with the movie have actually signed a letter, gotten by People, totally refuting the characterization put out by Vulture — specifically, that FP was mad with OW for presumably being missing from the set and in fact entering into a “screaming match” with her.

The letter checks out, in part … “As a crew, we’ve avoided addressing the absurd gossip surrounding the movie we’re so proud of, but feel the need to correct the anonymous ‘sources’ quoted in a recent article. There was never a screaming match between our director and anyone, let alone a member of our cast.”

They went on to load appreciation on Olivia, stating … “We are happy to put our names on this, as real people who worked on the film, and who have witnessed and benefited from the collaborative and safe space Olivia creates as a director and leader. We’re also thrilled that the movie is in theaters this weekend. We can’t wait for you to see it on the big screen.”

A manufacturer for ‘DWD’ doubled down in a different declaration for excellent step, stating any reports/rumors of a fight or shouting match in between Olivia and Florence are unproven.

BTW, the 40 team members who signed this are huge shots in the production … everybody from the DP to the lead production designer and almost every essential task in between — consisting of EPs and movie script authors — have actually connected their name to this. There are even an excellent quantity of folks in smaller sized functions, like APs and gaffers, who have actually signed on too.

While it’s certainly noteworthy that this quantity of people would publicly shoot down any notion of friction on set — the fact is, 40 crew members don’t account for even half of the people that worked on that flick. There’s well over 100 people credited on IMDb.

Point being … this doesn’t really invalidate Vulture’s story. It’s possible these folks simply weren’t aware of anything going on themselves — that, or they’re running cover for WB.

At any rate, the legend is over … the film succeeded at package workplace this weekend — generating a little bit more than $19 million, greater than anticipated — and everybody appears to be carrying on.
