\n\tOlivia Wilde<\/a> recently told the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast<\/a> that Pamela Anderson<\/a> helped her through the release of her 2022 film \u201cDon\u2019t Worry Darling,\u201d which was plagued with rumors of disarray in the director\u2019s personal and professional life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI actually learned this from \u2014 this sounds so crazy,\u201d Wilde said. \u201cBut after I saw the documentary [\u2018Pamela, A Love Story\u2019] I reached out to her, and I was like, \u2018Yo, respect. Just want to say big fan.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilde remembered that Anderson was \u201caware of some of the shit that I was going through,\u201d and told her in the face of public scrutiny, \u201cThe most rebellious thing you can do is stay soft. Don\u2019t let it harden you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson, who had her own fair share of scandals throughout her career, was, in some ways, able to reclaim her narrative through the release of Netflix\u2019s \u201cPamela, A Love Story.\u201d It hit the streamer about four months after \u201cDon\u2019t Worry Darling\u201d came to theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was so hard, because I wanted to be like, \u2018Can I just talk to people? Can I just go and say, \u2018That\u2019s not true! That\u2019s not true!\u2019\u201d Wilde recalled. \u201cAnd it was like, \u2018No, that won\u2019t help.\u2019 And that was really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilde said staying quiet was especially difficult because she wanted to promote the film on behalf of her cast and crew.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was like, \u2018It\u2019s not about me. It\u2019s about this movie that everyone works so hard to make,\u2019\u201d Wilde explained. \u201cAnd I felt like I was working on behalf of hundreds of people who had worked through Covid to make something really difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI felt frustrated that I couldn\u2019t defend myself, but it also felt like, \u2018Okay, it\u2019s not about you. Just get the movie out,\u2019\u201d she added. \u201cAnd the pummeling that I took was so insanely disproportionate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Wilde recently told the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast that Pamela Anderson helped her through the release of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":881085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,357911,171,202775,65822,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-881084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-dont-worry-darling","tag-entertainment","tag-olivia-wilde","tag-pamela-anderson","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116783960970354787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=881084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/881085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=881084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=881084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
