But since she’s an adult, she rose above the urge to say “Yes, of course I remember who you are— you bitches posted photos of my twat and spent the last 3 years making up reasons to hate me, so yep, you’re on my list, and don’t think I’ma forget your pathetic ass anytime soon” like I would have. 

She seemed like she knew exactly who she was talking to and was choosing her words carefully. She said she read Jezebel. It would be impossible to read Jez during those years and not know who Rich was.

Yep. Raise you hand if you’ve had people dislike you for being “too nice.”

She had one too many good things happening and some people with internet access just couldn’t let that stand. I mean, an Oscar! Who the hell did she think she was?!

We’re private citizens, we’re just internet randos— we’re allowed to hate and love anyone we goddamn well want to, for any/ all/ no reasons. But when you drag your personal little 8th-grade-mean-girl grievances into the public arena under a big banner, and then proceed to make a meal of it for a couple years in a row,…

We definitely were aware it was wrong in the early 2000s when it was Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. I don’t believe for a minute that anyone just wasn’t aware that posting pictures of someone’s exposed genitals when they haven’t agreed to having the photo taken or shared is wrong. It doesn’t take an…

We just love to tear people down. It makes us feel powerful. It’s shitty. I try not to do it. BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS AN EXCEPTION.

That was weird. I also found it strange that the author tries to justify (at least a little bit) posting the invasive photograph in 2012 by saying that we as a culture didn’t wake up to how horrible stuff like this was until 2014. Ummmm, what? No, I’m pretty sure most of us knew well before then that it’s not OK to…

“Exuberantly kind” is such a gorgeous way to describe someone. I love hearing about people being nice.

Re-reading this interview with the post-script in mind, do you think it is possible that she did know exactly who you were and that maybe that comes through in her answers? I don’t know. Her responses are really interesting, but (and maybe it is just me) it reads to me like she is slightly hesitant to engage or almost…

“Anne Hathaway was under no obligation to talk to me—in fact, given her feelings about Jezebel, she had good reason not to”

I briefly met Anne Hathaway ~11-12 years ago, in the lobby of the Trump Tower apartments of all places (I was visiting NYC, had a family member who lived there and her now-known shithead embezzler ex lived there too). I was a huge Princess Diaries fan and I was basically foaming at the mouth.

Man, you guys owe this woman a 50-page apology. I don’t know why anybody hates her— someone didn’t like the sincerity level of a speech she gave and that’s why so many years of public abuse and loathing? Or something? But she sounds 10x smarter & more self-aware & more gracious than any writer here, in any event.

This was a shitty phenomenon when it happened, and a super boring one except to everyone it hurt—especially Hathaway herself.

She always seems super nice and her advocacy for LGBT+ and women’s rights is pretty damn awesome. I still don’t understand where the hate came from.

Never got the hatred focused on Anne Hathaway? I have always liked her. I have zero problems with her and have pretty much enjoyed all of her movies.

Hahahahaha +1 for “Cousin Matthew.” He will ALWAYS be Cousin Matthew!

Not to be rude but cartoon Beast’s human form was WAY HOTTER than Cousin Matthew imho.

This is the first time EVER I’ve posted on the open thread on the day it was posted.

Of course it’s Tiffany’s box.
