Wilde has been doing her best to remain calm after facing a whirlwind of controversy at the Venice Film Festival over her second directorial film Don’t Worry Darling, which also stars Florence Pugh, her current boyfriend Harry Styles and Chris Pine, among others you can see.
The lovebirds promoted the film with Chris and co-stars Gemma Chan and Nick Kroll, but Florence, who plays the lead, was absent from much of the celebrations.
She skipped a press conference for the film that Olivia and the actors attended because her flight was said to land too late to get there, although she was later seen nearby in Venice while it was taking place.
During the premiere screening and on the red carpet, Florence seemed to keep her distance from her director.

Tension: Florence and Olivia reportedly got into a quiet argument after the actress allegedly became uncomfortable with Olivia’s relationship with Harry on set
Trouble within the production spilled over into the premiere when some fans on social media were convinced Harry had spat on his costar Chris as he sat down next to him.
A video showed Harry sitting next to Chris, who had been clapping but stopped immediately when his costar sat down.
The video didn’t clearly show spitting, however, and a second clip from a different angle showed the two chatting politely to each other just seconds later.
A representative for Pine later vehemently denied there was any spit.

Florence’s original co-star Shia LaBeouf also contributed to the drama surrounding the film.
He was originally slated to star in Don’t Worry Darling before Olivia replaced him with Harry.
After LaBeouf was sued by his ex-FKA branches and details of his alleged sexual harassment and harassment surfaced against them, Olivia claimed she fired him from the production.
But the Honey Boy actor later produced a video Wilde apparently sent him asking him to stay with the production, and he claimed he left “lack of rehearsal time” while emailing Variety forwarded to support his case.
Florence and Olivia have reportedly had a quiet argument after the actress reportedly became uncomfortable with Olivia’s relationship with Harry on set, though she claimed to Vanity Fair that her relationship with former partner Jason Sudeikis was “long over” before she and Harry met for the first time.
