Olivia Wilde Discusses Threats from House Role

Olivia Wilde revealed at the Red Sea International Film Festival that she received 'insane death threats' during her time on House due to her character's interracial and bisexual relationships. Wilde, who played Dr. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley from 2007 to 2012, stated that the backlash led to hiring extra security on set. Reflecting on her role, she noted how groundbreaking it was at the time for television, contrasting it with current shows like Euphoria that depict similar themes more freely. Wilde emphasized the importance of risk-taking roles in her career, advocating for artists to focus on authenticity over societal acceptance. She highlighted the significant progress made in representation since her portrayal of Thirteen, which was pivotal in normalizing LGBTQ+ relationships on mainstream television. Wilde is now set to star in the upcoming film I Want Your Sex, showcasing her continued evolution as an artist.
