According to Olivia Wilde, "Spitgate" was a perfect example of human nature wherein people would instantaneously look for drama anywhere they can.

"Harry did not spit on Chris, in fact," Wilde, in laughs, told late-night show host Stephen Colbert, while the latter jokingly stands on his statements that he actually thinks he did.

During the premiere night, a video of Harry Styles and Chris Pine made waves online. He was seen crouching down as he sit on his chair, nudging his mouth towards the direction of Pine's lap, while the latter seemed to have been interrupted while clapping.

The internet has been on a huge debate about whether Styles had actually spit on Pine. However, another angle of the scene has shown that no spit happened - as it was only a bad case of coincidence and wrong angle.

Chris Pine's representatives have addressed the rumors shortly - saying that it was only a "complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion." Meanwhile, Styles, in his concert, jokingly teased the audience that he stopped by in Venice to "spit on Chris Pine."

"There is nothing but respect between these two men and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist," Harry Styles' rep confirmed.

Elsewhere in the interview, Wilde has also stamped down another glaring controversy around the "Don't Worry Darling" movie - Shia LaBeouf's alleged firing on the film.The director clarified to Colbert that since LaBeouf gave her an ultimatum to do his own way or he quits. Wilde was unfazed and let him quit, eventually firing him along the way.
