BREAKING NEWS Anne Hathaway FINALLY reacts to the “mean” interview with the journalist, that went viral on TIKTOK, “She asked me to….”
Anne Hathaway responds to backlash over ‘mean’ interview with same reporter from infamous Blake Lively video
In a striking example of humility
and grace under the glare of public
scrutiny, Anne Hathaway has issued a
profound apology for her demeanor
during a controversial 2012
interview.
As the incident resurfaced and spread across social media, it prompted a reflective response from the actress, illuminating her personal growth and respect for journalistic interactions.
Anne Hathaway’s recent apology
to reporter Kjersti Flaa for a past interview underscores a moment of self-reflection and accountability. This interview, which Flaa described as a « nightmare, » had initially caused her to consider leaving journalism. However, the situation took a turn for the better when Hathaway reached out with a heartfelt email, expressing regret over the interview’s tone and content. Flaa, sharing her astonishment and the content of Hathaway’s email on TikTok, emphasized the unexpected nature of this gesture, which she found both shocking and commendable.
The Interview Resurfaces
The apology stemmed from an incident during a promotional interview for « Les Misérables » in 2012, where Hathaway, usually praised for her poise and articulacy, gave uncharacteristically terse responses. The discussion became even more strained when Flaa playfully suggested they sing the questions and answers—a proposal Hathaway declined.
This resurfaced video prompted Hathaway to revisit her actions and address the situation directly with Flaa, explaining her state of mind at the time and expressing her regrets sincerely.
Flaa’s response to Hathaway’s apology highlighted an essential aspect of public life and celebrity culture—accountability. By publicly accepting Hathaway’s apology and discussing the incident, Flaa underscored the importance of owning up to one’s mistakes.
This situation contrasts starkly with another interview Flaa conducted with Blake Lively, where she received no such apology, underscoring the varied ways public figures handle criticism and negative publicity.
