Wilde Breaks Silence on CinemaCon Trauma

Olivia Wilde has addressed controversies surrounding her film "Don't Worry Darling" in a recent interview. She described the moment she was publicly served custody papers by ex-partner Jason Sudeikis while on stage at CinemaCon as a "traumatizing" and "fucked-up" experience. Wilde recounted her thought process in that moment, focusing on finishing her speech before dissolving backstage, only to find the incident had already surfaced publicly.

Reflecting on her relationship with Harry Styles, Wilde characterized it as "lovely," "sweet," and "beautiful," existing within a "little bubble." She acknowledged the public anger directed at their relationship due to her directorial role and age difference, but maintained that behind the scenes, their connection was positive. Wilde expressed understanding for why people seek escapism in tabloid news, especially during challenging global times.

The interview, however, largely sidestepped discussions concerning Florence Pugh and Shia LaBeouf. LaBeouf's departure from the film and a leaked video of Wilde addressing him were significant points of controversy. Wilde did not elaborate on these specific issues, focusing instead on her personal experiences and reflections on the press tour's overall impact.
