If you've been anywhere near the internet over the past few days, you won't have been able to miss the ongoing drama around Olivia Wilde's movie Don't Worry Darling.

We're not going to go into the mess of it all here (you can read our explainer for that), but things really came to a head with that now-infamous video in which the film's lead Harry Styles sort of, kind of, appeared to spit on co-star Chris Pine when he sat down next to him at the Venice International Film Festival premiere on Sunday.

Well, Styles has now responded.

During a Wednesday night show at New York's Madison Square Garden, the actor/singer paused between songs and made a joke about the incident.

"This is our tenth show at Madison Square Gardens. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, to be back in New York," says Styles in a video taken by an audience member.

"I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine. But fret not, we're back!"

"I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine."

Styles is laughing while he says it, clearly not taking the whole drama too seriously, which is probably the best way of making it clear just how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Pine's reps also made that clear, albeit with a slightly more serious statement to Varietyearlier in the week.

"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," they said. "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."

So. will that be the rumours to bed once and for all? Probably not. But at least it's got everybody talking about Don't Worry Darling.
