The Oscar-winning actress laughed off a report Monday that she snubbed her guests during a recent book signing at a Barnes & Noble bookstore in Los Angeles.
"Gotta laugh when ppl would actually believe that you were rude to a child... at YOUR CHILDREN'S BOOK SIGNING," Spencer wrote on Twitter Monday.

Spencer, 44, was at the bookstore last week signing copies of her new children's book, "Randi Rhodes Ninja Detective: The Sweetest Heist in History."
But in a report Monday, the Daily Mail said some fans left unhappy. The report said Spencer complained about her "tiny glass of water," cut the Q&A short and refused to take photos or make small talk with people in line.
One person, Angel Guzman, told the Mail that "The Help" actress was "acting like a diva."
"Octavia was mean, rude and horrible to everyone," Guzman said.
He said some folks left the line and demanded a refund for their books.
This is Spencer's second book in the series about the young detective and her fellow ninja detectives, DC and Pudge. This time the crime-solving trio head to Brooklyn, where they uncover an art heist.
