Florence Pugh is done putting up with bad behaviour on set: 'Don't be rude, don't be a misogynist'
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published

Florence Pugh has told Elle she is no longer standing for bad behaviour or attitude on film sets, and won't let anyone be rude to the crew. The Midsommar and Oppenheimer star says she gets more confident at leading a set with every film, and her rules are simple: show up on time, don't be rude, don't be a misogynist. She also said nobody censors her, after her Instagram post about the Cornell lawsuit was blocked by Meta.
Should more big stars set the rules on set like Florence Pugh?
