In January 2022, Harry Styles was caught in the midst of a controversy when a video surfaced of him seemingly spitting in the direction of Chris Pine during an event. The incident sparked heated debates and speculation among fans and the media. After six months of silence on the matter, Chris Pine has finally spoken up, providing some clarity on what really happened.
Speaking about the incident, Pine revealed, “Harry did not spit on me. Harry is a very kind guy. I was on the plane, and we’re flying back from Venice, having a great time on the plane, and my publicist wakes me up and says, ‘We have to craft a statement on what happened in Venice’. 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’.”
Pine’s statement brings some closure to the Spitgate controversy and puts an end to the speculations surrounding it.
