The Mysterious Hate of Anne Hathaway

In the early 2010s, Anne Hathaway faced an unexpected wave of criticism and negativity from the internet, despite her impressive achievements and starring roles in beloved films.

[@gracewin7535]

I'm convinced people just do not have lives and wanna hate on people sometimes for no apparent reason. Just pure boredom

[@dominicwalker1899]

An apparent reason: hollywood is a fake, corporate, narcissistic conglomerate which feeds propoganda, advertising and 'entertainment' to the masses. The female celebrities are chosen every 10 years to influence the culture; the same thing is happening to Zendaya right now - her career, acting, "iconic look" is entirely fake. We are "meant" to like her - to want to be her; but few want to and few can. Hence the push back. People will "hate" on what they are "meant" to love and adore - especially when they didn't chose it, and they don't have a choice

[@magical-soap5359]

Yup! I'm just going to say anyone who cares so much about "the media" putting a popular entertainer in the spotlight is spending too much time thinking about "the media". We could all get real hobbies and friends, that could be a solution for this phenomenon.

[@sluttymctits4496]

This is the real original reason behind the hate. It's not because she's a pretty, successful girl who reached epic levels of fame like a lot of people think. It has nothing to do with misogyny. People thought she came off as a smug know-it-all, talking down to people and treating others as "less," that she was a serious actress while others weren't. I never agreed with the hate, but in watching her interviews, you really can see how people feel that way.

[@iryna1722]

I can relate to your friend's thoughts. Anne should be praised for trying so hard to appear in many films, but her stiffness and desire to be only liked makes it hard to watch them. I believe it's called flat acting.

[@aff77141]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's like the whole point...

[@BryonyClaire]

I remember people hating her so strongly, and that constant comparison to Jennifer Lawrence, yet then a few years later everyone turned on Jennifer. It's so ridiculous how much we try to tear women down for just being themselves

[@pearlosibu]

Are they themselves, though?

[@tropistan7735]

​@@pearlosibu exactly! I feel like the video touches on but misses the mark on the Hathaway hate. I never cared, or understood it until I watched this video. Subconsciously, most of us understand that perfection is sinister. The flawlessness is a mask. So the audience really doesn't know her. People don't hate her perfection or Lawrence's too authentic act. They're both being vilified for putting up a mask as different as these masks are. It just took the idiots longer to spot how fake the Lawrence shtick was.

[@pearlosibu]

@@tropistan7735exactly. I found this video too simplistic as well as victim-y. Oooh, people hate her pretty privilege. No. She’s fake. And our internal radar spots that. Beyond that, though, she is part of the woke mob that spouts inauthentic nonsense in the order of “kindness/empathy/performative activism/girlboss/victim of male oppression.” But this movie (and comments) were too stupid for me to bother. Let me point you to Martin Decoder. He does incredible work with speech analysis, pointing out the stuff I’ve mentioned above and has at least two videos on Anne Hathaway specifically. It’s such an eye opener. She’s incredibly fake and we must trust our instincts. Privileged white women playing victim and championing the cause of disenfranchised and underprivileged people as well as aligning themselves as part of the group is really disgusting. White women are all aboard this train because they cannot play race or lgbtq and know they cannot do those fat activism games either. What’s left? The patriarchyyyyyyyy. The only person left to fend for themselves is the white man. He better become trans or just get used to being hated. So all Hollywood actresses have joined.

Makes sense. I feel like she got a lot more hate in western countries because I think in general, western culture values individualism and to an extent - errors, mistakes, goofiness. Makes sense why she was constantly compared to Jennifer Lawrence at the time, who was much more loved at the time for how "real" she was. Looking for those who are imperfect, and therefore relatable. On the other hand, other cultures value being put together or classiness.

[@SimpleChannel875]

Funny enough, I noticed the hate tide for Anne Hathaway started to turn when she did her amazing Wrecking Ball rendition at Lip Sync Battle. That went incredibly viral.

I'm a firm believer that irrational hate is mimetic in large groups of people. You can actually apply what you stated in your conclusion as to why professional wrestling works so well with fans.

It works every time, none better than Ric Flair whose whole persona is gloating about how much richer and better he is than you.

[@Vampress09]

Funny how everyone's chasing perfection but if someone is perceived to have achieved it they are hated. If the end of this goal is just hate from peers then why does everyone chase it?

[@VioletMugabi]

Alexis de Tocqueville describes this well in his book, "Democracy in America". There is a video summarizing his philosophy on the youtube channel "School of Life". Rising above the masses and elevating yourself in anyway will always come at the cost of offsetting other people's insecurities. That is why they turned on Jennifer Lawrence eventually. (no matter how relatable she seemed) That is why people obsess over bringing down celebrities, to feel better about themselves. Like you said, it explains the need for billionaires and celebrities to make themselves look normal especially now that relatability marketing is the in thing. The MET Gala aftermath and the blocking of celebrities on tiktok is proof of that.

[@dominicwalker1899]

A possible reason is that the media tells us we're "meant to love" certain celebrities (e.g. zendaya) or herald them as the perfect ideal to strive towards; when in reality few of us do and we can sense their career, looks and media hype is artificial. People "hating" can also be the reaction when they feel they are forced to like something without their choice.

In either 2009/2010 there was a readers poll in one of the Big tabloids (People or US magazine) about the most hated celebrities in America and Anne Hathaway was placed HIGHER on the list than Rnb singer, Chris Brown!

I literally always loved Anne Hathaway ever since I saw her in Princess Diaries and Ella Enchanted, and when I got older and started using the internet I saw that people hated her and I've always been so confused by it. She always seemed like a lovely person and of course just an incredible actress, and I never saw anyone give an actual reason why she deserved any hate besides "I just don't like her, she seems annoying" and other dumb, vapid reasons. It just seemed like unhappy people being jealous or unhappy with their lives so they just needed someone to dogpile on to make themselves feel better.

It's okay to not like some people, everybody carries a different vibration. Not everybody likes you or me, and that's normal. We either vibe with another person or not.

I tried to like Anne Hathaway, I really did. However, what doesn't seat well with me has nothing to do with her appearing perfect in and out of camera. It is about her persona on interviews or whenever she interacts with people on camera. She always speaks in a condescending way, like patronizing whoever is speaking to her (in a respectful manner and trying to make her look relatable) which comes as inauthentic and performative. Nothing wrong with being good enough 24/7 (she definitely lacks Jennifer Lawrence early carrier acting chops) but there's certain quality to her speech, voice tone, gaze and body language that gives me entitled and stuck up.

[@greenfox42]

I remember being told in high school I was “just too nice” and they said someone can’t be that genuine all the time…I remember snarking back with “ok, I guess I’ll make fun of you more” - this was with a fellow student I considered a childhood friend from growing up with them through elementary and middle school.

I've had that feeling with Ariana Grande since I was little. I think it's because she wasn't actually as sweet as she pretended to be. & perhaps with Anna Hathaway it's because everyone is getting the vibe that she is not truly happy & cheerful as she is trying to appear. To me, I've always loved Anne Hathaway & she doesn't annoy me. And i see the subtle fakeness of her happiness as well but it doesn't irk or annoy me, It just makes me empathetic. She's just doing her best.

@@forestheart63 This is not universally true, I am not insecure about Tom Hanks nor do I identify with him, I have no unhealed Tom Hanks wound, please don’t project onto the entire world

[@amethystdream8251]

I think you just solved my conundrum of why I've messed up irrationally during auditions. I subconsciously picked up on this aspect of human nature, and have tried to make myself smaller, even in places where one might think the expectation is to be bigger. I've noticed that my talents are more comfortable shining in certain environments over others. It's interesting, sometimes humans expect each other to be perfect, and some other times they find that perfection to be offensive.

[@JasWritesInDarkness]

Rachel Getting Married and Havoc (Which no one seems to reference btw!) are two of my favorite Anne Hathaway movies! She was amazing in both and CLEARLY showed her range!

[@chrisgomez860]

Although I don't agree with her politically, she doesn't bother me. I also understand why some people don't care for her, but don't understand those who genuinely hate her.

[@024yara]

as a professional hater, who tf hates anne hathaway???

[@vickyb3445]

Yes, Anne is a very goody two-shoes actress. I'd love to see her go all out on screen in daring roles that showcase a wide range of emotions. I'm fed up with her sweet, nice-girl-next-door act.

[@JamesLawner]

I genuinely don’t understand the hate, and it’s so crazy how the same thing happened to Jennifer Lawrence, and now it looks like the same thing is happening again to Taylor Swift.

[@MelW033]

Jealousy is the root of all haters. Another person being happy with themselves and their life makes insecure people so envious. They should spend time working on themselves.

[@nodrvgs]

im so glad this video exists. this conversation is long overdue.

[@TMMx]

I never felt this way about Anne Hathaway, but I find something off-putting about Anya Taylor Joy. There’s something sort of uncanny valley about how perfect she is. I don’t hate her, though. She just makes me a bit uncomfortable.

[@cjc363636]

For ATJ it's the eyes. She just looks like AI made the most striking face, but then did some weird AI thing to it. She's got a stare that could slay a person.

[@dickottel]

I don't like people who are too skinny, enjoy some good food, you can afford it. It should be so easy to not be underweight, just eat all the delicious food, they're so lucky 🙄

[@tomboyraider1015]

Ok i wasn't aware there was hate directed towards Anne. As far as i know every comment I've read have been praise. As a kid who watched Princess Diaries back in the day, I thought she was the prettiest girl I've ever seen with the most beautiful face I've ever seen.

[@thekinginyellow7656]

I can genuinely feel myself get less judgmental of everyone on both side throughput your videos. Thank you for these, theyre fantastic.

[@danirodriguez3682]

Damn I’m kinda glad you confirmed that she actually didn’t do anything. I remember being so confused why people hated her. I was like did she cheat on someone? Say something very shitty to a fan? And I just couldn’t find anything.

[@ayeejheyy4537]

So its basically like how guys used to hate on Justin Beiber. Except the hate actually lasted as long as she lived lmao

[@Ozzymandius1]

No. No, it's not.

[@hikari5810]

Anything feminine or targeted towards female audience, most of the time, tends to be hated for no reason

[@dominicwalker1899]

​@@hikari5810by other women too...

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

Not remotely comparable. People hated Justin because people hate women or girl enjoying basically anything. With Anne is just losers with too much time on their hands hating someone that never did anything wrong.

[@dickottel]

Bieber is terrible 😂 cringy and treats some fans like shiiit. she's more likeable, I don't know anything bad about her

[@tatyanas273]

Okay, I was one of those people who HATED Anne Hathaway. Yeeeeah, it was true. I still don't find her appealing. It was only about her being rude, arrogant, "theatrical" and FAKE, FAKE like hell. You see, when you look at another person and you feel their energy, their attitude. Anne Hathaway was just not who she pretended to be. That's all. People felt that and she got what she got. I never wrote a bad comment on her profile or sth, i'm not like that. I just clearly remembered that i somehow read her disgusting hypocritical nature, so I was actually surprised that i wasn't alone in that. When that hatred started I though "oh my... people understood that, too".

[@V66912]

what did she do that was so "fake" to you?

[@prench]

If I was as beautiful as Anne Hathaway I don't think I'd ever be sad. Every time my feelings were hurt, or something bad happened, I would simply think "I am one of the most gorgeous womenin the world" and I would be content again.

[@user-iq4sr6ve2m]

Yikes projections abound. It's rather middle school minded. Most should mature out of that. She is a class act.

[@dorineogutu5491]

Im legitimately scared for what the internet will come up with for Zendaya. I really hope it doesnt happen, but deep down i know the day is coming

[@rjd_frostcor3]

I never knew about the Hathahaters. I guess I disliked her simultaneously, but in my own little bubble.

[@deesrose6003]

Wish you wouldn't say "everyone hated her" as someone who grew up in that time I never saw any of this hate directed at her - there's always gonna be people whinging but this was NOT the norm

[@clos6632]

I love that you include in-video subtitles in your videos. I would recommend a larger font size. Love what you do. Thank you

[@oshl4387]

1. She had a sleek, polished glam image after The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada 2. So when she played Fantine in Les Mis, it struck some as cosplaying the downtrodden while being a "tryhard" for an Oscar bid 3. She does at times exude a Rachel Berry / Lea Michele energy in interviews 4. She was a "too perfect" , super skinny, "regulation hottie" when people like Adele, Meghan Trainor, and Rebel Wilson were hitting their stride, being recognized for talent, as opposed to conforming to conventional Hollywood standards. Perhaps there was an unspoken (and undeserved) backlash from this shift. 5. At an awards show, she corrected the spelling of her name. "Ann with an E" This was giving drunken Reese Witherspoon "Do you know who I am?" but in a more bubbling under-the-surface, subtle way. It rubbed some people the wrong way, including me. Then the press and social media piled on. I didn't "hate" her and still watched movies with her in them, but didn't care for her off-screen life for a good number of years. Compare this to the John Travolta incident at the Oscars during which he introduced Idina Menzel as "Adele Nazeem" and how she handled it - she rolled with the punches. She went on stage and nailed her performance without missing a beat. She never brought up how she was slighted, unless journos asked her directly, and she answered graciously without talking trash about Travolta. In fact, the incident went viral and seemed to boost Idina's career profile. 6. Also, there were other actresses taking over Hollywood at the time, like Jennifer Lawrence who worked hard to push a more "relatable" persona to the public, doing things like falling up stairs while wearing a fancy gown.

[@imbuffysummers]

The only reason I can think why anyone ever “hated” her might be that she seems like she tries too hard but not to be perfect almost the opposite she really seems to want people to believe she’s edgy but it’s okay to not be! I like her for who she is

[@laikanbarth]

My goodness people were bullies. I had no idea and I’m glad I didn’t know. I’ve always loved Anne Hathaway.

[@urbanrealism237]

Sometimes i think the media was even meaner in the 2010s than now

[@xPSYDUCKx]

I think it’s because if someone is perceived as perfect, then it makes others feel less than or judged and compared. We think no one is perfect but to see someone who displays themselves in this way it just feels off, inauthentic and/or smug whatever. Some ppl just feel uncomfortable with it and turn to dislike the person.

[@felman87]

I didn't realize there was a hatred for her. I'd like to say I live on the internet but I clearly occupy a very small section of it.

[@mintyhippo8125]

What is interesting is that I was a big fan of her as a kid, and only recently started to dislike her lol for the same reasons as the people in the 2010’s I guess lol She’s a great actress but she seems super fake in interviews… and I know that all actors have to put on “interview voice” but hers is like HR talking to you. I think it might be pressure/insecurity because people are so mean to her. I don’t wish harm on her or like HATE her. I just don’t enjoy watching her interviews. It doesn’t feel like I’m getting to know her. Which, maybe means I should get a life and stop watching celebrity interviews to get to know them lol

[@politesmile7812]

She was terrible in that movie about Teflon. I think her problem is she hasn’t been around normal everyday people in her entire adult life and it makes her strange. I feel like her acting has gotten worse rather than better over the years.

[@maenad1231]

Both my father and I always loved Anne Hathaway. He said he admired how there was never anything negative or attention seeking about her in the press and hearing him say that shaped some of my values Im proud I upheld throughout my life I also love she shares a name with Shakespeare’s wife 🖤

[@visualspark6308]

Always looked up to her both as a person and an actress. She's one of my all time favorite actresses, and people love to hate who they're jealous of. Great analysis! ❤️

[@MrTentaclesHasAllTheTalent]

I think her hosting the Oscars can come across as cringey but I don't think it's a means for hating her. That being said, that interview of Jennifer disrespecting something sacred was what rubbed me the wrong way.

[@maenad1231]

Both my father and I always loved Anne Hathaway. He said he admired how there was never anything negative or attention seeking about her in the press and hearing him say that shaped some of my values Im proud I upheld throughout my life I also love she shares a name with Shakespeare’s wife 🖤 It’s strange how Anne is called performative but Jennifer wasn’t. Anne’s perfection is performative (which is why she bluntly admitted her social image was the “sweetheart” image) & but Jennifer’s deprecating and cringe wasn’t considered performative until much later. They’re both actresses witch orchestrated images - why wouldn’t they be performative

[@vanessacarvalho9076]

It doesn't hurt that she is really cool and nice in general. I have 2 clients who are producers at the BBC and when Anne was on the Graham Norton Show she was known as one of easiest person to be around. Simple, nice, approachable and cool to work with. Everyone at the backstage loved her.

[@urbanrealism237]

You did great on this video

[@hakimbandaru1915]

I am on the fence about her, however, one of my favorite movies of all time is “the devil wears Prada”. It’s one of those movies I consider “comfort movies”, put it on and escape. What made me dislike her public image was how rehearsed all of her interviews were, she came off unauthentic. She didn’t seem perfect, she came off as disingenuous. With that said I didn’t go online and bash her - I just rolled my eyes and stayed away from her interviews online.

[@Katarina-ds5mj]

Anne is a very talented, hard working, energetic, kind woman. I think she gets hate because people can’t believe anyone can be that happy all the time or that nice. I have never seen her be anything but gracious, appreciative, accessible and humble in her interviews. I absolutely adore her.❤️

[@jaminavestajugo3456]

I think one reason some people didn't like her is because she didn't try to hide that she was out to further her career. She didn't pretend to be afraid of or shocked by success. This can make some members of the public feel less in control because the successful woman seems to pick herself instead of being picked by them. Does that make sense?

[@j.d.1506]

And still, no one gave a real reason as to why they hate Anne. She’s hated for literally nothing.

[@mishi144]

I actually had a dream way back many years ago that Anne Hathaway absolutely hated me for no reason. Like deeply, intrinsically hated me in the most targeted way. It was such a random dream and I have no idea why 😄

[@urbanrealism237]

Lol that’s interesting
