Olivia Wilde says she nearly died in a horse-related accident during the filming of the 2011 film “Cowboys and Aliens.” Wilde describes that she falls off her horse while working on the set and faces a dangerous situation afterward, which she later characterizes as an imminent “horse stampede” or an otherwise “gruesome” outcome. According to her account, actor Walton Goggins steps in and helps her during the incident, preventing the situation from becoming worse.

Both outlets present Wilde’s recollection as a personal anecdote from the time of production, emphasizing the suddenness of the fall and the risk of being injured or trampled on set. They agree that the event happened on the “Cowboys and Aliens” filming in 2011 and that Goggins played a key role in assisting Wilde immediately after the accident. Neither outlet disputes the basic sequence of events as Wilde remembers them; the reports focus on her description of the danger and the relief of being rescued.
