If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace… The 38-year-old responded: “Florence is a force and we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune. I don’t feel the need to contribute, I think it’s sufficiently well nourished.”

Though the movie's star skipped the media session, director Olivia Wilde called rumors of their feud 'endless tabloid gossip.'

Indeed, Wilde’s personal life has received outsized scrutiny during this promotional tour, not simply because she is dating a famous pop star but also because her ex-fiancé, the “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis, had her [served with custody papers](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/olivia-wilde-jason-sudeikis-custody-papers-on-stage.html) while she was onstage promoting “Don’t Worry Darling” at CinemaCon in April.

And there was no placard at all for the film’s star, Florence Pugh, whose no-show at the session further deepened rumors of a rift between her and Wilde.
