Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh have been flooding headlines for months. While the two have both tried their best to dispel the rumors, the questions about what really happened behind the scenes of keep coming.

Now, Wilde — who both directed and acted in the film which stars Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine -- is addressing the situation with a quote from Pugh herself.“It is shocking to see so many untruths about yourself traded as fact,” Wilde says in an interview for 2022 Women in Hollywood November issue. “Florence had a really wise comment that we didn’t sign up for a reality show."«And I love that she put it that way, because it’s as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you’re selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves,» Wilde continues. «No, that’s actually not part of the job description.

Never was.”Wilde also expresses her disappointment in how the story has been “minimized into bite-size TikTok points.”“This film is trying to ask big questions, but [it’s] ‘Let’s just focus on this sideshow over here,’ ” she adds. “Having been a known figure for a while...makes me well-equipped to have a Teflon exterior.

But it also means that you’re under a different kind of microscope. It’s brought my attention to the media and how it pits women against one another.”In the interview, Wilde also praises Pugh for her performance in the film. “She’s so generous in her acting in every scene,» Wilde says. «She makes everyone around her better.”Wilde previously addressed the „endless tabloid gossip“ surrounding her during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival while promoting the film.
