Asked how much has changed since the beginning of #MeToo, Rae says, “Sadly, not much. It feels like we’re regressing, depressingly so.
“There are just too many enablers for there to be real change. People have to be held accountable. There have to be legitimate consequences. Hollywood is very bad about consequences. It’s literally the worst industry when it comes to punishing people for misdeeds, because money will always reign supreme,” she continues. “That’s something that, even by working in this industry, we’re enabling. So it’s hard. What I have realized is that I can control my own environment and who I work with. I can hold people accountable within my world and my bubble. I don’t have to work for everybody. All money isn’t good money. All people aren’t good people…”
Rae is also asked what more actually needs to be done to make positive change in the industry, and cites “The Flash” star Ezra Miller as an example of where the problems are.
“It starts with a backbone. While I don’t support people jumping to conclusions and I think it’s entirely fair for investigations to happen, I think it’s extremely important to, like the mantra says, ‘Listen to women.’ I’m gonna be real, the stuff that’s happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood,” she explains.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis' relationship continues to make headlines, despite the pair being broken up. Most recently, the two put on a united front after their nanny came forward with text messages and explosive claims about Wilde and Sudeikis' relationship shortly before their public split in 2020.
Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh are only two of many Hollywood celebrities who have shunned red carpet archetypes to stay completely covered up, and instead are opting to bare more in front of flashing camera lights. On Saturday, Wilde stepped out in a shimmering, see-through Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture gown for the second annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, which drew just as much discussion for its impeccable design as it did for the styling choice when Olivia's sheer dress revealed her bare chest. Leaving undergarments at home isn't a new fashion choice for A-list celebrities, but showing more comfort with taking risks in wardrobe choices — whether on Instagram or at a movie premiere — continues to be all the rage.
Olivia Wilde joked about begging to be "placed into a medically induced coma" during her Don't Worry Darling press tour at ELLE's Women in Hollywood event on Monday. The filmmaker's latest movie was overshadowed by various dramas before its September release, with the headlines speculating if she was feuding with her lead actress Florence Pugh, whether her leading man Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine during the Venice Film Festival, and if she fired Shia LaBeouf from the movie or he quit. During her speech at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, honouree Olivia thanked her fellow women in Hollywood for helping her stay motivated during stressful times.

Before the crowd of about 200 guests seated for the open-air dinner held at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Wilde began her biting, yet lighthearted speech with a joke about finding out there were seven other honorees — Ariana DeBose, Anne Hathaway, Issa Rae, Sydney Sweeney, Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Yeoh — also being recognized. Wilde went on to say she’d “learned so much” from them all, describing them as an “extraordinary list of women who have not only inspired me forever, but who have forged the very shape of this industry through their hard work, bold choices and resilience.”
Olivia Wilde opened up about how she keeps going through the "burning hellfire of misogyny" in the entertainment industry during an event Monday. The "Don't Worry Darling" actress delivered her speech at the Elle's Women in Hollywood event just hours after Wilde and ex Jason Sudeikis issued a statement denying a former nanny's allegations about their relationship. "Let’s face it, it’s not always easy to keep going," Wilde said, according to Page Six. "In fact, sometimes it’s tempting to excuse ourselves from the burning hellfire of the misogyny that defines this business and say, ‘Good night, good luck, I’d rather eat glass for a living.'" Olivia Wilde gave a speech hours after the nanny of the actress's kids with Jason Sudeikis made public claims about the former couple's relationship.

Lena Dunham said she is “upset” by the treatment of Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, which she believes can be “more intense” for women in the public eye.
