Olivia Wilde faced serious backlash during her time on 'House,' receiving constant death threats as her character, a bisexual woman, had an interracial relationship, leading to increased security on set.
Reflecting on the cultural changes since her time on 'House,' Wilde noted, 'Seeing what's on television now... the fact that my character was shocking and groundbreaking then, it’s like, no, it’s nothing.'
Wilde expressed the impact of public backlash on artistry: 'The damage that does to an artist is profound, because you stop being as fearless... you become self-conscious in a way that has never been good for any artist.'
She stated, 'Directors have to decide at a certain point, do you want to be a celebrity or an artist... because of social media, it's become even more combined,' highlighting the complexity of modern celebrity culture.
