Arnold clarified the misunderstanding by posting an apology on Instagram under his @gtvreality account.
He began, “The headlines got it wrong. Harry didn't lose his cool. I did. He stayed calm and even helped calm me down.”
The man further mentioned that the 32-year-old actor “has always been a gentleman to me, going all the way back to 2012 when he first signed for me. The truth is, I was having a bad day, and I was out of line. Harry was totally chill about the whole situation and even helped calm me down.”

“The headlines suggesting Harry lost his cool couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, I was the one who needed to cool down,” Arnold stated.
Concluding his post, he added, “I take full responsibility and sincerely apologize to Harry. He's always been cool with me and deserves nothing but respect.”

Styles has been in New York City for his 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden, which started on August 26 and will conclude on October 31.
Harry Styles said his ex helped him overcome his public anxiety
This came after earlier this month, the ‘Don't Worry Darling’ star talked about one of his former girlfriends and credited her for changing one of his personality traits for good.
The former member of the ‘One Direction’ band reportedly said, “In the early days, when I was in the band, so much of the hotel experience felt very locked-in. When I’d be home, it felt like, ‘Oh, it’s not safe for me to be out.’”
This habit of his, however, changed because of one of his romantic connections. He did not reveal the name, but Styles was earlier linked to names like Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Caroline Flack.

“I had a girlfriend who was very outgoing, and she was coming to London, and I was like, ‘Oh, if we just sit in my house for three days, she’s gonna think I’m nuts.’ So we walked everywhere, and it was this realization for me: ‘Oh, it’s fine to be outside,’” Styles reportedly added.
He further asserted, “It kind of broke that thing. Now, it’s changed my life in such a big way, because it’s how you stay connected to the world.”
