Four Years of Quiet: The Don't Worry Darling Era and Its Aftermath

At 1:11:03 · chapter starts 1:02:00

Cooper notes that Wilde effectively disappeared from long-form interviews for about four years and asks if it was intentional. Wilde says absolutely — she needed to get quiet, hear herself again, and step out of the tornado. The Don't Worry Darling promotional period was unprecedented in its chaos: fake stories, fake sources, complete fictional narratives traded as fact. Her assistant, having watched it all from inside, told her it had ruined tabloids for him forever. Wilde describes doing intensive therapy, taking the destruction as an opportunity to rebuild. She was the most talked-about woman in the world in 2022 — for her relationships, parenting, looks, and morality — and she felt completely disconnected from the person being discussed. Her private life during that period was, she says, actually wholesome and joyful: a tornado outside the door, a nice house inside.
