Harry Styles' mom is defending his new movie.

On Thursday, the Grammy-winning singer's mother Anne Twist shared a message for critics of Styles' new film Don't Worry Darling.

"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all," she wrote on her Instagram Story. She added, "I'm astounded and saddened by the vitriolic comments on here to be honest. I enjoyed a film. If it's not your cup of tea don't go..."

"If you don't like me .. please don't follow me. Simple," Twist concluded.

Don't Worry Darling, in theaters Friday, stars Florence Pugh opposite Styles. It currently has a 32 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates film critics' reviews.

Ahead of the film's release, there has been speculation its stars are having drama behind the scenes. Viral video footage from Don't Worry Darling's Venice Film Festival premiere left people on the internet debating whether Styles had spit on costar Chris Pine, 42.

Wilde discussed the alleged incident during her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week, calling it one of the "weird rumors" surrounding the film. Wilde confidently stated Styles "did not" spit on Pine, adding, "But I think it's a perfect example of, like, people will look for drama anywhere they can."

Pine's rep also told PEOPLE: "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."

"Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine," the rep continued. "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."

Don't Worry Darling is in theaters Friday.
