Olivia Wilde just wanted to make a movie.  She didn’t want to set the tabloid world on fire.  But that’s exactly what she did.

The rumors surrounding the production of “Don’t Worry Darling” are almost legendary already . . . From the chaos over Shia LaBeouf’s departure to Olivia’s alleged feud with her star, Florence Pugh.

And now we have SPITGATE, thanks to a video from a screening at the Venice Film Festival, where it looks like Harry Styles spits on his co-star Chris Pine.

But Chris would like you to know that it did NOT happen.  His rep called it, “a ridiculous story, a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation.”

He added that 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.”
