Chris Pine Laughs Off Rumors of Harry Styles Feud: “It Did Look Like Harry Spit on Me”

Though Chris Pine was mostly spared from all of the interpersonal drama that played out during last year’s release of Don’t Worry Darling, you’ll recall that there was one moment at the Venice Film Festival in September when it appeared that his co-star, Harry Styles, spat on Pine.

At the time, Pine’s representative shut it down, saying in a statement to People, “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. Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not 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.”

In a recent video interview with Esquire magazine, Pine was asked about the incident, and he confirmed once again that nary a drop of Styles’ spittle touched him, but he agreed that the video of the incident looked damning.

“Harry did not spit on me,” Pine confirmed. “Harry is a very kind guy.”

Pine said that after the incident happened and he was traveling home from Venice, his publicist told him, “‘We have to craft a statement on what happened in Venice. About Harry spitting on you.’ She showed me the thing and it did look, indeed, like Harry spit on me. He didn’t spit on me.”

“I think Harry leaned down and said, ‘It’s just words isn’t it?’ We had this little joke. We were all jet-lagged and trying to answer questions and sometimes when you’re doing these press things your brain goes befuddled and you start speaking gibberish, so we had a joke: ‘It’s just words.’”

And there you have it, just words, no spit.

In the print interview that accompanies the video where Pine denies that Spit-Gate happened, he also adds that he had no idea whether or not there was drama between Olivia Wilde, Styles or co-star Florence Pugh on the set.

“If there was drama, there was drama. I absolutely didn’t know about it, nor really would I have cared. If I feel badly, it’s because the vitriol that the movie got was absolutely out of proportion with what was onscreen,” he said. “Venice was normal things getting swept up in a narrative that people wanted to make, compounded by the metastasizing that can happen in the Twittersphere. It was ridiculous.”

Pine stars in the upcoming film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves which arrives in theaters March 31.

Olivia Wilde’s nanny claims Florence Pugh, Harry Styles had a fling first

It’s the one question on everyone’s lips: why did Florence Pugh exactly fall out with Olivia Wilde?

Well, Wilde’s former nanny has alleged that Pugh, in fact, had a fling with Harry Styles before Wilde started dating him.

The nanny — named as Erika Genaro by TMZ and confirmed by sources to Page Six — made the claims in a blockbuster interview with the Daily Mail this week.

In a video posted online, Genaro claimed that Sudeikis told her that “Flo was f–king Harry and she had a boyfriend.” Pugh split with longtime love Zach Braff earlier this year.

Following the nanny’s tell-all, Wilde and her ex-boyfriend, Jason Sudeikis, released a joint statement to slam her.

“I want to talk about the Jewish comment, it’s actually…


“As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly,” the former couple — who share son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6 — told Page Six.

“Her now 18 month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex. We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone.”

“I want to talk about the Jewish comment, it’s actually…


As Page Six previously revealed, Pugh fell out with Wilde during filming, as multiple sources told us that the Britstar was unhappy that Wilde, her director on “Don’t Worry Darling,” and Styles, her co-star, hooking up on the Palm Springs set.

One industry source told us, “I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry.”

Pugh refused to carry out promo for the movie and then attended a somewhat frosty premiere at the Venice Film Festival last month.

Although Wilde has continued to sing Pugh’s praises, Pugh has so far stayed silent.

Speaking to Elle magazine as part of their Women in Hollywood series, Wilde doubled down on her denial of the animosity between her and Pugh, calling the rumors “untruths.”

Of Pugh, she said, “She’s so generous in her acting in every scene. She makes everyone around her better.] Florence had a really wise comment that we didn’t sign up for a reality show.

“And I love that she put it that way, because it’s as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you’re selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves. No, that’s actually not part of the job description. Never was.”

Wilde — who also acts in the psychological drama — added, “This film is trying to ask big questions, but [it’s] ‘Let’s just focus on this sideshow over here.”

Reps for Pugh, Wilde and Styles were unavailable for comment.

Florence Pugh arrives in Venice amid ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ drama

Miss Flo hath arrived.

Florence Pugh made her highly anticipated arrival at the Venice Film Festival Monday to attend the “Don’t Worry Darling” premiere amid copious amounts of drama surrounding her rumored feud with Olivia Wilde.

The “Little Women” star, who flew from Budapest where she is filming “Dune 2, “skipped out on the film’s press conference and photo call, but landed in Italy in time for the premiere.

“I’m here. With Granzo Pat,” Pugh, 26, captioned a photo of her walking with her grandmother.

Dressed in purple Valentino for her headline-making arrival, Pugh also shared a photo of her sitting in a glam chair in front of Valentino cosmetics.

During the press conference, Wilde addressed Pugh’s absence but refused to engage with questions regarding her fallout with Shia LaBeouf.

“Florence is a force, we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production,” Wilde, 38, said. “As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel I need to contribute to it.”

Initially, LaBeouf was cast in the role that ultimately would go to Harry Styles. Although the former “House” star claimed she fired the “Honey Boy” actor, video of Wilde begging LaBeouf not to leave the production leaked.

“I wanted to reach out because I feel like I’m not ready to give up on this yet,” Wilde said. “I, too, am heartbroken, and I want to figure this out.”

Wilde then alluded to a rift between LaBeouf and Pugh, though neither has publicly addressed it.

“I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo, and I want to know if you’re open to giving this a shot with me, with us,” Wilde said.

LaBeouf, 36, who is on a road to redemption, also denied being fired from the role.

“You and I both know the reasons for my exit,” LeBeouf wrote to the filmmaker. “I quit your film because your actors and I couldn’t find time to rehearse.”

He asked Wilde to “correct the narrative,” adding, “Firing me never took place, Olivia. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. It is not the truth.”

Harry Styles takes it to the bedroom on ‘Harry’s House’

It’s called “Harry’s House,” but the much-anticipated new album by the hottest male pop star on the planet — that would be, duh, Harry Styles — plays more like “Harry’s Boudoir.”

Indeed, the sexy intimacy on Styles’ third solo album makes you feel like you’re peeking through the bedroom door as the former One Direction heartthrob is putting it down with his current flame, actress Olivia Wilde.

Yup, putting it down.

Owning all of the hip-swerving swagger that made “Watermelon Sugar” a No. 1 hit in 2020 and won Styles his first Grammy, the singer is a ball of falsetto friskiness at the beginning of “Harry House.” 

“Green eyes, fried rice, I could cook an egg on you/Late night, game time, coffee on the stove/You’re sweet ice cream, but you could use a flake or two/Blue bubblegum twisted around your tongue,” coos Styles, grinding up agains a greasy bass line in his best falsetto at the beginning of the album opener “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.

Clearly, the trumpets aren’t the only things that are horny on this jazz-kissed come-on. And whatever’s on the menu, you’ll just be like, “I’ll have what he’s having.”

And Styles is having his way with you — and whoever you happen to be getting down with in any corner of your house  — on his sexiest album to date. 

The very next track, “Late Night Talking,” is made for late-night grooving — perhaps of the horizontal variety — as Styles floats atop a groove reminiscent of Dua Lipa’s “Levitating.” 

And if you thought there were jazz vibes on “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” Styles even scats here. Yes, scats. And he pulls it off.

Although the title of the album is a reference to the Joni Mitchell song “Harry’s House/Centerpiece,” Steely Dan and, more recently, Jamiroquai (remember him?) are more like Styles’ muses on songs such as “Grapejuice,” a summer-ready romantic bop, and “Daydreaming,” a perfect soul-pop soufflé that adds a dash of the 5th Dimension into the mix.

Although the No. 1 single “As It Was” set the shimmying, shimmering stage for the album — with its ’80s pogo pop that has you breaking out your best Molly Ringwald moves — the second half of “Harry’s House” settles into dreamy, woozy balladry that will have you booing up — or getting on Tinder to find one.

When the album ends with “Love of My Live” — which couldn’t possibly be about anyone other than Wilde — Styles sounds positively smitten. Or better yet, love-stoned.
