The Internet is divided over Anne Hathaway’s interview
One user said, “This poor woman gets the worst celebs and she looks great! First, Blake Lively, then Anne Hathaway (congrats on your little bump).” One user also commented “We need to stop idolizing these celebrities,” another user wrote, adding, “Don’t go to interviews if you want to answer in one word.”
One fan defended her comment and captioned it, “Anne Hathaway has apologized to Kjersti and is giving him an exclusive interview for her next movie in 2025. Anne Hathaway did the right thing!” Much respect to him!” Another fan wrote, “These questions are rude and irrelevant for the promotion of a film. Why should she tell anyone what she thinks about personal things? Not rude at all. Stupid reporter.”
One user also commented, “People are defending her like it’s really not easy to get out of an interview. If something bothers him before the interview, don’t do it. It’s very easy to behave like this on camera.” “She’s literally always rude unless you’re an A-lister,” one person claimed. This is old news.”
Kjersti Fla on Anne Hathaway’s heartfelt apology
The same thing has been shared on that too youtube Channel, Kjersti said, “Yesterday I received an email. It was from Anne Hathaway’s publicist and she sent me a message from Anne. I must say I was very surprised. I didn’t expect her to come to me at all. I thought she would never see that video, but she did, and she did something amazing.
He continued, “She sent me a long email explaining what she was going through when she did this interview, and she apologized for basically giving me a terrible interview. It was very touching for me. It brings tears to my eyes just talking about it because I’m so grateful he did it. It was a very personal note, so we decided to look at what was actually in the email. He then invited me for an interview for his next film coming out in May. I’m really looking forward to it. I have a lot of respect for people who admit their mistakes and say they’re sorry. So, that’s such a powerful word. Thank you so much for saying you’re sorry and it’s been a long time, so I hold no hard feelings. I try to give a similar message in the videos I make.
Anne will next be seen in Flowerwell Street, Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Princess Diaries 3.
