Anne Hathaway Opens Up About ‘Hathahate’ Experience After Oscar Win
View Story
Another day, another viral video of a female celebrity speaking and strangers fiercely debating whether she’s being “rude” or not.
Anne Hathaway — who has copped a fair bit of backlash over the years — is the latest.
Social media have found an online clip of the Oscar winning actress interacting with fans in Italy last summer after the Valentino fashion show.
The 41-year-old actress is seen greeting fans, waving and smiling in the street.
She was walking toward her car at the time and stopped to give her supporters a moment to take photos of her, apologizing in Italian that she could not take individual photos as there were too many of them.
“I cannot take photos with everyone as there’s too many of you but I will stand here and wave if you would like to take a photo.
“Mi dispiace [I’m sorry] but I want you to have something so if you’d like I’ll just wave a little bit.”
But unfortunately for The Princess Diaries actress, this was not good enough for haters online.
Fans are currently in a debate over whether she was being polite or rude to her fans:

Seems polite. She could’ve just walked away and snubbed them.

Rude and fake polite at the same time

With how long she took to he condescending, she could possibly have signed and took the photos. She was being unnecessary.

Hathaway has opened up about negativity she has received in the past from the public. While speaking at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event in 2022, the actress opened up about a period of time where she received a lot of hatred and how she took it as an “opportunity” to learn.
She reflected on the barrage of “hathahate” she received after her Academy Award win for her performance in Les Misérables back in 2012.
“Ten years ago, I was given an opportunity to look at the language of hatred from a new perspective,” Hathaway explained. “For context – this was a language I had employed with myself since I was 7. And when your self-inflicted pain is suddenly somehow amplified back at you at, say, the full volume of the internet … It’s a thing.”
