Olivia Wilde joined the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on her press tour for “The Invite” and expressed some regret over staying silent amid the tumultuous release of “Don’t Worry Darling” in 2022.

“I never felt more disconnected from the person that people were talking about. It was also very strange to see complete fiction traded as fact,” Wilde said about this period of her life. “I wanted to be like, ‘Can I just talk to people?’ Can I just go and say like, ‘That’s not true?’ And it was like, ‘No, that won’t help.’ And that was really hard… I felt I was working on behalf of hundreds of people [who worked on this movie]. I felt frustrated that I couldn’t defend myself but it was not about [me]… I think that my own attempt to be strong and to kind of like rise above it in a way came off as inauthentic.”
