Fox News
Steve Martin said that he had to "object" to "Harry Potter" actress Miriam Margolyes claims that he actually hit her during the filming of a scene from their movie "Little Shop of Horrors."
"When I first read Miriam Margolyes’ pejorative account of our scene in Little Shop of Horrors, I was surprised," Martin wrote. "My memory is that we had a good communication as professional actors. But when it is implied that I harmed her or was in some way careless about doing the stunts, I have to object." Ashley Hume is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

He continued, "I remember taking EXTREME caution regarding the fake punch – the same caution I would use with any similar scene. She assured me she felt fine, and we did a few successful takes and stopped."
