Flaa claims that Anne "might be her worst interview ever." In the clip, Flaa, who is interviewing Hathaway in 2012 for Les Miserables, asks Hathaway if she would answer the

No, we like her now, she wasn't being rude. She sounded over it, but saying "no" in response to a question isn't rude.

I agree. I don’t like the idea that a celeb saying no to what basically boils down to dancing monkey request is being rude, even if they don’t decline it in the most gracious way.

but saying "no" in response to a question isn't rude.

It's wild how we are very much conditioned to think it is. People get so taken aback by a clear 'no' that you can see they're expecting some sort of justification to make the answer more ~palatable - and I hate myself every time I give in and add a little something to soothe their sensitive feelings, especially at work.

It’s October 2024, let’s let no be a full sentence and move the fuck on without getting our feelings hurt.

Especially when it's a woman who says no and especially when it's a woman who's in the entertainment field.

Agree. “No is a complete sentence” is one of my fav mantras. People also get up in arms when a woman doesn’t say it demurely, or in a way that’s she’s also apologising for inconveniencing the interviewer with her boundaries - and Anne is great at setting boundaries it seems!

I looove to remind people that "no" is a complete sentence! choke on it!!

[imightbewrong4]

It's not the "no," it's the way she said it.

[tigermilk]

I listened to it. I didn’t find it rude.

This! Like we all know why the fuck these celebs are there. Sorry this may be the 50th same question that day, but clearly Anne was having a shit day. Getting paid millions to promote a movie you won an Oscar for, stfu and answer the damn questions politely.

[imightbewrong4]

142 people said she's very polite...lmao wtf

[shahrazade_bard]

MTE. It's not the "no." It's the prolonged eye contact afterwords, like she's silently going "Annnd whatcha gonna do about it, hmmm?" 90% of communication is non-verbal, and Anne is absolutely communicating a fuck off at the interviewer. Were the questions inane? Sure. But they weren't offensive. Plus you're literally there to promote the movie, sis.

[swissbeauty23]

nah she was fine

[howlin_wolf_66]

Oh, how *dare* she be assertive, and not apologetic! /s

[imightbewrong4]

Wanting her to be "assertive" during an interview where you're promoting your movie/selling yourself is crazy.

The questions are a bit weird but nothing that warrants this energy.

Either way, Ms. Anne herself thought it was off and apologized

[howlin_wolf_66]

You still have a right to set boundaries on what you're willing to do, whether you're 'selling' something, or not... It's not a case of: 'We're paying you, so you have to do what we ask!"

I say she had no need to apologise - and she probably did it, not because she felt genuinely bad, but in order to protect her image. Otherwise she'd have people criticizing her, as is STILL the case here, even *with* her apology...

Which is crazy.
