Activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has no comment Haary Styles and Chris Pine's Spitgate incident.
During Oscars 2023, host Jimmy Kimmel asked her about the supposed saliva-fueled beef between Chris Pine and Harry Styles.
Jimmy Kimmel asked, "Your work on human rights and education for women and children is an inspiration. As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?"
Malala was quick to respond with a straight face, "I only talk about peace."

What is the Spitgate incident?
For those unversed, Chris Pine recently rubbished the rumour. Spitgate became a favorite Internet debate topic in 2022 after a video surfaced in which Harry Styles appears to lean over Chris Pine and spit on him. However, it was later reported that rep for Chris Pine explained it was merely an 'odd online illusion' in the viral video.
A few weeks ago, Chris Pine reportedly explained in detail what exactly happened at that moment. "He leaned down, and I think he said, 'It’s just words, isn’t it?'. Cause we had this little joke. We’re all jet-lagged, we’re all trying to answer these questions. Sometimes when you’re doing these press things, your brain gets befuddled and you start speaking gibberish. And we had a joke: 'It’s just words, man.'"
