Olivia Wilde’s response to the negative press of Don’t Worry Darling
When Kelly Clarkson brought up the notion of “double standards” Revolving around Olivia Wilde’s film, the director didn’t disagree. Moreover, she attested to how such standards find their existence in each industry. The Library alum expressed how “every woman” can relate to such experiences.
Elaborating on the concept, Wilde had the following to say:
“I also think that this profession… I was aware when I got into it, it’s dominated by men. It’s been a long time. Being a different director, there aren’t that many of us. Not for lack of talent, just for lack of opportunity.

The director emphasized how she was always prepared for the kind of backlash that was expected to come her way, especially for being a woman in a predominantly male-centric industry. However, what seems to transcend certain limits and “hurt” the filmmaker is when the criticism or denunciation comes from another woman. Remarking this, Wilde said:
“Can we [all women] just give each other the benefit of the doubt and protect each other? Wouldn’t that be great? »
The Don’t worry honey-spearhead, returning to the original question, replied that the media coverage around his films has never been in his favor and is “different” unlike that of her male colleagues.
Olivia Wilde is jealous of her male colleagues
Wilde, justifying her position, went on to say that she reflects on how her male counterparts seem to be able to carry on with their lives without “so much judgment” and how it strikes an envious feeling in her. “It must be nice” She expressed, “Be that guy.”
Here is his full statement:
“Am I envious of my colleagues in the way they seem to be able to live their lives without so much judgment? Yeah, I’m thinking about it. I’m like, “That must be fun. Be that guy. Everyone is like, clapping every move they make.
However, to reaffirm how lucky she is to hold the position she currently holds, the filmmaker expressed her gratitude for her work. According to her, coverage for don’t worry darlingalthough daunting, only climbs up to “noise” at the end of the day. If Olivia Wilde dwells on such obstacles, she says she’s doomed to get distracted. Therefore, she “explode through” hatred and negativity.

People on Twitter seem to be divided over the opinions expressed by Wilde. Some have called it performative; a result of “white feminism”, others praised the director and pointed out the double standards that seem to exist within the industry.
Looked:
Maybe because she draws attention to her movies by making statements that aren’t necessarily true? She should just talk about her movies. But I saw her interview on Colbert and she was just talking about her beef with Shia LaBeouf. This is not good publicity for his film.

Men are judged too much. I don’t know what world she lives in.

one thing that is endlessly frustrating about people defending olivia wilde is the implication that since direct men have not historically been held accountable for their wrongdoings, no one should be

The thing about the Olivia Wilde situation that bothers me is that if there were any rumors that a male director was an asshole, it wouldn’t even make the headlines. Even if the rumors are true… and I’m not her biggest DEF fan, people wouldn’t care if she was a man…

a lot of male directors are bad but i’ve never seen the same reaction towards them as i’ve seen with olivia wilde AND this movie

Several things can be true at the same time. Like: 1) Male directors who misbehave are much more cowardly than female directors 2) Olivia Wilde behaved unprofessionally on set 3) DWD movie isn’t very good; and 4) Olivia suffered undue harassment from Harry fans

While the Internet and its citizens remain uncertain about don’t worry darlingWilde’s on-set debacle and its aftermath, which resulted in several headlines further aggravating the talk, Wilde’s rampant vilification never seems to end. The most demoralizing aspect of the whole fiasco is how the film, instead of being recognized for the story it has to tell, has become the laughingstock of critics and the source of little dramas that entertain the masses. .
While reviews of the Olivia Wilde-led attempt point to a lackluster and lackluster premise, it will soon be revealed if the film manages to at least garner moderate commercial praise.
