Thursday 15 September 2022 08:14 PM Olivia Wilde sends out a pointed message amid Don't Worry Darling controversy trends now
Olivia Wilde appears to be sending a message to the haters amid the ongoing controversy surrounding her new movie Don't Worry Darling.
Wilde, 38, has faced tough backlash over the feature with film critics mauling it in reviews, while the behind-the-scenes drama involving lead star Florence Pugh has made it one of Hollywood's messiest movies in recent memory.
But on Thursday, the girlfriend of Harry Styles once again shrugged it all off as she gave photographers a playful smile while wearing a hoodie that had a slogan across it saying: 'Are you happy for me?'
The Booksmart filmmaker looked absolutely flawless as she went makeup free for the outing in Studio City, California, as it appeared as though she was fresh from another workout.

And despite her new film receiving disappointing reviews from critics, Wilde has continued to put a brave face on all the drama.
The film currently has a disappointing 43 percent rotten rating among reviewers surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes, and the film's score drops to an even worse 22 percent when only critics from respected publications are included.
But even if critics didn't care for the psychological thriller, fans are certainly looking forward to it — or at least a chance to see her boyfriend Harry Styles live.
