Rita Wilson has now set the record straight on what happened - posting a remark on Instagram that it was simply an “I can’t hear you” moment.
She wrote: “This is called "I can't hear you. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go?” We had a great time. Go see Asteroid City!” She added.
