The 9 Most Iconic Feuds in Hollywood History

As long as there's been a Hollywood, there have been feuds. And whatever else happened on the set of the upcoming film Don't Worry Darling, the Olivia Wilde-directed project just reminded everyone of that fact on an international stage.

For those who haven't breathlessly followed along for every screenshot, Instagram caption, Twitter video, or Aperol spritz, a brief recap: Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star in mid-century thriller Don't Worry Darling, about a woman who realizes her perfect existence may not be (gasp!) real. Initially, Shia LaBeouf was the male lead, but Wilde alleged in a Variety interview that she fired him. Not so, said LaBeouf (and when Shia Labeouf is the voice of reason, things are bad), who promptly produced screenshots of text messages from Wilde begging him not to quit, along with a video message in which she referred to her female star as "Miss Flo."

Pugh has remained conspicuously silent—down to not doing a moment of press for the film. During the Venice Film Festival press conference, Wilde praised Pugh's performance while admitting that she understood why Pugh couldn't get away from filming Dune 2 for press duties. Ten minutes later, photos showed Pugh arriving in Venice in purple head-to-toe Prada, toasting us all with an Aperol spritz.

Oh, and Don't Worry Darling is where Wilde and Styles began their relationship—the timeline of which is fuzzy compared to the timeline of Wilde's marriage to Jason Sudeikis ending. The rumor is that Pugh was annoyed at how often Wilde and Styles disappeared together on set, which might be why she severely limited her press duties for the film.

There's also a Lee-Harvey-Oswald-was-not-the-lone-shooter-level conspiracy theory that posits Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine (not to mention Pine's memeified reaction as Styles ponderously explained that movies feel like movies when you watch them in movie theaters). Plus, Styles greeted his latest round of queer-baiting accusations by kissing Nick Kroll on the mouth at the premiere. And at no point were Wilde, Styles, or Pugh photographed or seen next to one another.

Whatever went down on the Don't Worry Darling set, we rarely see this kind of high drama and unforced errors in an age of media-trained celebrities. Only time will tell if Miss Flo and company will join the ranks of the quintessential Hollywood scandals, but how does everything stack up to some of the all-time classics? Let's take a look.
