Watch: All the Don't Worry Darling Drama EXPLAINED!

The Don't Worry Darling cinematographer is reaffirming that there is nothing to worry about.

Matthew Libatique spoke about the rumors of tension on the set of Olivia Wilde's psychological thriller and said that the alleged drama is "completely untrue." Most of the speculation surrounded Wilde and co-star Florence Pugh, who reportedly had a fallout while shooting the movie.

Libatique, however, is putting the gossip to rest and said that based on his own experience, there were no red flags.

"This was probably the most harmonious set I've ever been on," Libatique said on The Hollywood Reporter‘s Behind the Screen podcast. "Olivia built a team that believed in her and she believed in each and everybody on the set… When I hear that there are rumors of acrimony on the set, I reject it. It wasn't apparent at all."

If any feuds did occur, Libatique wasn't there to see it.

"Whatever happened, it happened way after I left and started doing something else," Libatique said. "I was never witness to anything and I didn't feel anything. You know, you get a feeling that there might be something going on, and I didn't feel anything."

Though the Oscar nominee didn't experience any drama, something he did come with way was how "special" Wilde is as a director. Libatique described the Booksmart director as someone "extremely visual and open" and said the Midsommar actress "could do anything."

As Don't Worry Darling is scheduled for theatrical release on Sept. 23, Wilde is focusing on the movie and not the headlines.

"As for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself," she said during a Venice Film Festival press conference. "I don't feel the need to contribute. I think it's sufficiently well-nourished."
