From rumored feuds to Spitgate.
But soon, evidence mounted.Wasthere a feud?
Had Wildes relationship with star Harry Styles caused problems on set?
What happened to original cast member Shia LaBeouf?
And what on earth did Chris Pine think of everything?
Below, a comprehensive explainer of every component of theDont Worry Darlingcontroversy.
Didnt this all start when Olivia Wilde started dating Harry Styles?
In a word, yes, although that controversy seems distant and quaint now.
Was this when the tension between Wilde and Pugh first arose?
On the other hand,Page Sixis infamously unreliable, and this quote came from an anonymous source.
So whether or not Pugh cared about the affair, they certainly do seem to have embarked on one.
In any other workplace, it would be seen as an attack.
… To venture to sabotage [the presentation] was really vicious.
But I had a job to do; Im not easily distracted.
But, you know, sadly, it was not something that was entirely surprising to me.
I mean, theres a reason I left that relationship.
(Sudeikis claimed not to have known Wilde would be served while on stage.)
But how did anyone even know that therewasa feud before the films Venice premiere?
They came to work every day on time and fully respected the process.
Wilde was eager to talk about her movies sex scenes in herVarietyprofile.
Men dont come in this film, she announces to her interviewer.
She goes on, Its all about immediacy and extreme passion for one another.
The impractical nature of their sex speaks to their ferocious desire for one another.
I think its integral to the story itself and how the audience is meant to connect to them.
My early conversations with the cast were all about how the audience has to buy into the fantasy.
Its not why Im in this industry.
Apparently, Wilde didnt get that memo.
Rumors also circulated that Pugh had been paid much less than Styles for the film.
But these baseless rumors only increased speculation that there was a rift between Pugh and Wilde.
But wait what does Shia LaBeouf have to do with all this?
Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them.
That was my job.
Will you let me know?
But theres much, much more.
This conflictdidnt preventTimothee Chalamet from promotinghisVenice title,Bones and All, for several days on the Lido.
While Pugh was having a ball outside, things were going less well inside the press conference.
The moment quickly became meme fodder.
The idea seemed crazy, and yet the slowed-down footage was compelling.
Did Styles purse his lips enough to spit?
Is any spit actually visible?
If hedidntspit, why did Pine make that face?
What beef could Styles possibly have with Pine?What was going on?
This explanation makes a lot more sense, but is less fun.
Just to be clear, Harry Styles did NOT spit on Chris Pine.
So, is the movie any good?
Pugh, at least, seems done with the movie.
