Fake news! Olivia Wilde finally addressed “spitgate” — shutting down the rumors that boyfriend Harry Styles spit on his Don’t Worry Darling costar Chris Pine once and for all.
In a teaser clip from her Wednesday, September 21, interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Wilde, 38, brought up the now-viral video that featured the “As it Was” singer, 28, seemingly spitting on the Star Trek star, 46, while returning to his seat at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this month.
Wilde brought up the speculation as an example that “people will look for drama anywhere.” Host Stephen Colbert, however, wasn’t letting the Booksmart director off the hook without giving a straight answer about what did — or didn’t — go down.
“Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine, why or why not? Support your answer,” Colbert, 58, asked, to which the O.C. alum replied, “He did not! Harry did not spit on Chris.”
The comedian, however, wasn’t convinced. “Only time will tell,” he quipped, to which Wilde enthusiastically responded, “He really didn’t!”
Wilde isn’t the first of the Don’t Worry Darling cast and crew to shut down the “spitgate” speculation. After the clip sparked headlines, Pine’s rep vehemently denied the claims.
“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,” the Wonder Woman star’s rep said a statement to Us Weekly on September 6. “Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine.

is proving to be a very ironic title for director Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about has unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the Warner Bros. film's release later this month.From the film's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Florence Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine have been dragged into the rumor mill over an alleged incident at the Venice Film Festival — which has been filled with drama for the film on all fronts.With the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head last week as the actor accused the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde supposedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it feels like risks being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.
