Rumor defeaters assemble.

Scarlett Johansson in a new interview responded to the “outrageous” rumor that she had s-x in an elevator with actor Benicio del Toro.

“They probably still write those things about people, maybe, but I feel like when I was younger, it was more acceptable to write really nasty, sl-tty things about young actresses,” the Marvel star, 37, said during Wednesday’s episode of the “9 to 5ish with theSkimm” podcast.

Though the story “followed” the Oscar nominee for a long time, she “always thought that was outrageous.”

“And also, I always was thinking to myself, ‘That would be tough.’ … The logistics of that seem so unappealing to me,” said Johansson. “I am a person who’s terrified of being caught doing something I’m not supposed to be doing, so that made the story even that much more absurd to me, if you know me personally.”

Del Toro’s name is never mentioned in theSkimm episode, but in a 2005 interview with Esquire, the Puerto Rico-born “Sicario” star, 55, said, “Did I ever have s-x in an elevator with Scarlett Johansson after an awards show?”

The Oscar winner then fumbled with his response. “I kind of like, you know, I, well, I don’t know.” He concluded: “Let’s leave that to somebody’s imagination. Let’s not promote it. I’m sure it has happened before. It might not be the last time, either.”

Johansson and del Toro in 2018 both starred in “Avengers: Infinity War.”
