Fans Are Convinced That Harry Styles Spit On Chris Pine During ... (Forbes)

The drama surrounding Olivia Wilde's 'Don't Worry Darling' reached new heights during the film's premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.

Gossip-hungry fans, however, seem to have been having fun; compared to some of the nastier stories that come out of Hollywood, the Don’t Worry Darling gossip is comparatively lighthearted. This claim was disputed by LaBeouf, who insisted that he had quit the movie of his own accord. Of course, Pugh’s careful timing only fueled the flames of gossip. Pine does seem to react to something - perhaps his phone lit up with a notification, or maybe the sunglasses on his lap shifted. To many viewers, the viral clip appeared to show Styles spitting on Pine’s lap, while others dismissed the claim as ridiculous. The clip shows Styles pursing his lips, before taking his seat beside Pine - Pine quickly glances down at his lap, seemingly in disbelief.

The Don't Worry Darling controversies explained (GamesRadar+)

From Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde's 'feud' to Harry Style's accent, Don't Worry Darling has been causing controversy.

Styles and Pine have yet to comment on the incident. A video of Styles taking his seat at the Don't Worry Darling premiere next to co-star Chris Pine went viral after some Twitter users alleged that the former One Directioner spat on Pine. In the clip, which you can watch above, Styles takes a seat and Pine stops clapping and looks bemused at something. "This might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo, and I wanna know if you're open to giving this a shot with me," she says in the video, asking LeBeouf to return to set. He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances." "If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace – and I respect her point of view and I respect yours – what do you think? "We are just so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on He added: “I think the fun part is you never know what you’re doing. He then released a private video he received from Wilde in order to back up his side of the story – in the video, it appears Wilde is asking LeBeouf to return to the production. She added: "Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them. "His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions. Ahead of the film's release, Don't Worry Darling has been the subject of several controversies – with the majority taking place at the 79th Venice Film Festival, where the movie had its world premiere.
