Olivia Wilde Says Pamela Anderson Helped Her Through ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Drama
7 reported
Olivia Wilde told the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that Pamela Anderson helped her through the release of her 2022 film "Don't Worry Darling," which was plagued with rumors of disarray in Wilde's personal and professional life. Wilde said she reached out to Anderson after seeing the documentary "Pamela, A Love Story," telling Anderson she was a big fan. Anderson was aware of some of the scrutiny Wilde was facing and advised her that "the most rebellious thing you can do is stay soft." Wilde recalled wanting to publicly deny untrue claims but was told that would not help. She said staying quiet was difficult because she wanted to promote the film on behalf of her cast and crew, who worked through the Covid-19 pandemic to make the film. Wilde added that the "pummeling" she took was "so insanely disproportionate."
