Chris Pine’s rep slams ‘ridiculous’ claim that Harry Styles spit on him: ‘There is nothing but respect’

There was plenty to worry about as it was.

Whether or not Harry Styles really did spit on Chris Pine at the Venice Film Festival is still up for debate among fans and armchair sleuths alike. But the 42-year-old “Star Trek” actor’s camp is offering its own clarification about the alleged incident between the “Don’t Worry Darling” co-stars.

“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,” a rep for Pine told People. “Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine.”
