“Any allegations of unprofessional behavior are completely untrue”
The team that worked on ‘Don’t worry my dear’ have denied rumors that actress Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde had a “screaming war” in the set.
In a statement sent to People, 40 staff members who worked on the film denied that there were any tensions between the couple. The document said: “Any accusations of unprofessional behavior on the set of ‘Don’t worry dear’ are completely false.“
“Olivia is an amazing leader and director who was present and involved in every aspect of the production. She directed this set with class and respect for everyone involved. There was never a shouting match between the director and anyone, let alone a cast member.”
The statement was issued in response to an article published by vulturewhich alleged that Pugh was upset with the absences and the “little professionalism” de Wilde, due to his alleged relationship with his co-star, Harry Styles. This would have led to a “screaming warbetween the two on set. Wilde and Pugh did not respond to these accusations.
The film, which was released last Friday, has been the focus of multiple controversies surrounding its premiere at the last Venice Film Festival.
Shia LaBeouf was fired from the film last year, with Wilde declaring the actor’s negative behavior on set.
LaBeouf later denied these accusations, saying that he was the one who left the project despite Wilde’s efforts to get him to stay. Subsequently, a video was posted of the director asking the actor to return, saying that she was “heartbroken” by the situation, and apparently criticizing Florence Pugh.
Pugh was minimally involved in the film’s promotion, with the production company commenting that it was a scheduling incompatibility with her shooting on ‘Dune: Part II’. At the Venice premiere, Harry Styles was accused of spitting on his partner Chris Pine, although this was quickly denied.
The controversy, however, hasn’t deterred audiences, and the film has grossed more than $30 million on its opening weekend.
‘Don’t worry dear’ has been in theaters in Spain since last September 23.
