"I don’t find her perfection charming. I find it annoying," one blogger said about Hollywood heavyweight Anne Hathaway, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to so-called "Hathahate."
Online hatred towards Hathaway surged after she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2013 for her performance in 'Les Miserables'—what should have been a moment of celebration. In fact, the "Hathahate" phenomenon that followed her Oscar success put her career in jeopardy. “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online," she reflected in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, released on March 25, 2024.
“I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films that I’ve been a part of," she said, referring to the 2014 movie 'Interstellar.' “I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect,” Hathaway said. “And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.”
