Dakota Fanning says little sister Elle 'spat her drink out' on a rude man during wild night out

Dakota Fanning recalled the memorable way that her sister, Elle Fanning, intervened when a man was being rude to her.

In a recent interview with the U.K. Times, Dakota, 31, was asked about an anecdote that Elle, 27, previously shared.

During the Fanning sisters’ joint interview with Vanity Fair in September, Elle explained that she was protective of her older sister and would take action when necessary to defend Dakota.

“I actually screamed at someone for her,” Elle said. “I didn’t throw a drink, but I did knock it over and accidentally spilled on the guy.”

However, the “Perfect Couple” star elaborated further on the encounter while speaking with the Times.

“It was even worse,” Dakota told the Times. “She accidentally spat her drink out on the man.”
