Laughing, Wilde replied, “No, he did not. But I think it’s a perfect example of, like, people will look for drama anywhere they can. Harry did not spit on Chris, in fact …”.

Wilde’s version came on television, but the Wonder Woman actor issued his statement clearing Styles’ name of the whole dealer. Styles also joked about the incident which had taken place during the Venice Film Festival, while performing at Madison Square Garden.
