While making an appearance on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’, Wilde talked about the “spit-gate” incident at the Venice Film Festival, reports Deadline.
A video of the premiere of the movie went viral where Harry Styles allegedly spit on Chris Pine as he was taking a seat in the theatre. There was a major debate on social media about whether the former ‘One Direction’ member had dissed his ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ co-star.
“Another one of our weird rumours, Spit-Gate, which you might have heard about, is I think…,” Wilde started saying in a preview of her appearance on the CBS late-night show before Colbert cut her off.
Colbert interjected to read a question from his card that said, “Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine, why or why not? Support your answer.”
“No, he did not,” Wilde said laughing.
“But I think it’s a perfect example of, like, people will look for drama anywhere they can. Harry did not spit on Chris, in fact”
“Only time will tell,” a dubious Colbert added.
“No, he really didn’t,” Wilde replied.
Pine has denied that Styles spit on him with a representative releasing a statement to ‘People’ that read: “This is a ridiculous story — a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation.”
