UPDATE
2:02 PM PT — Deadline reports that Florence Pugh is going to miss the press conference for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ on Monday, but will walk the red carpet and watch the actual movie … and then split right away after that. Supposedly, this was all pre-planned — as she’s in the middle of a shoot in Budapest for ‘Dune 2’ … at least that’s the explanation being offered from insiders.
Olivia Wilde and her new movie have been in the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons — but despite the drama, she’s putting on a brave face for the world premiere.
The actress/director touched down in Venice, Italy Sunday for the self-named film festival that’s already underway … and where hers, ‘Don’t Worry Darling,’ is set to be screened. She and the rest of the cast — including Harry Styles and Florence Pugh — were all expected to attend the red carpet together … and it looks like OW might be first on the ground.
As you can see … she was all smiles as she made her way through the floating city, posing for a selfie with a fan and signing autographs — looking all business and determined.
The reason this is a big deal is because of what many perceive to be in-fighting between her and the cast … namely, Florence. There’s a lot to unpack, but basically — FP hasn’t been promoting this movie much, and has also kinda been snubbing Olivia on social media.
IF the #OliviaWilde and #FlorencePugh #DontWorryDarling rumors are true, is FP’s pettiness actually … justified? 👀 TMZ Movie Crashers breaks down all we know: https://t.co/w4dmywQAmb pic.twitter.com/ypQdJQmOvB

There are unconfirmed rumors Florence is upset with Olivia for how the ‘DWD’ shoot went down in 2020 … when OW reportedly started her whirlwind romance with Harry. There’s gossip/stories that Olivia might’ve been a bit absent at times, and Florence might be pissed.
Plus … all that Shia LaBeouf stuff from a week ago — that’s a whole other can of worms.
Anyway, speaking of Harry … he arrived in Venice as well this weekend — although he was coming in solo, without Olivia (his current GF) by his side. The guy had a show in NYC last night, so it might not be that big a deal. Still, it’s interesting with everything going on.
With all this projected beef, everyone’s waiting to see how Florence and Olivia interact in front of cameras and while doing press … and whether they’ll address this at all. Frankly, the speculation and innuendo are being discussed more than the flick itself at this point.
#OliviaWilde said she fired #ShiaLaBeouf to protect her actors (presumably #FlorencePugh) — but Shia’s receipts show otherwise 👀 TMZ Movie Crashers break down the continuing #DontWorryDarling PR disaster: https://t.co/zKRsRCfLnc pic.twitter.com/lvgQp7y6XQ

Florence doesn’t seem to have landed just yet — but if we’re being honest, yes … we’re a little worried, darling. 😬
