Anne Hathaway Issues Apology to Journalist Over Viral 2012 Interview
Anne HathawayIn a recent turn of events, Anne Hathaway has reached out to journalist Kjersti Flaa to apologize for a 2012 interview that has gained renewed attention online. The interview, which took place during a press event for the film Les Misérables, resurfaced on social media, prompting Hathaway to address the situation directly.
The Hollywood actress sent a heartfelt email to Flaa, explaining that she was undergoing personal challenges at the time of the press junket, which affected her demeanor during the interview.

Kjersti Flaa, who shared her surprise and gratitude on social media, described the apology as touching. She explained that Hathaway had expressed regret for her behavior and offered a sincere acknowledgment of her conduct during that period. Flaa noted, "I have to say, I was pretty shocked. I had not expected her to reach out to me at all."
The incident harkens back to Flaa's previous contentious encounter with another celebrity, Blake Lively, which almost led her to consider leaving her career, reflecting the high emotional stakes often involved in celebrity journalism.
Flaa has praised Hathaway for taking responsibility, stating: "I have so much respect for people who own up to their mistakes and say they're sorry. Sorry is such a powerful word." She also shared that Hathaway invited her to conduct another interview for an upcoming film release, underscoring the actress's attempt to make amends and move forward positively.
The renewed visibility of the interview incident serves as a reminder of the pressures faced by both journalists and celebrities in high-stress environments and highlights the potential for understanding and reconciliation when past misunderstandings arise.
