AceShowbiz - Anne Hathaway has issued an apology to reporter Kjersti Flaa after the journalist posted a clip calling out Hathaway for her dismissive attitude during a 2012 press junket for "Les Miserables".
Flaa recently shared an "uncomfortable" 2016 interview with Blake Lively that "made me want to quit my job." On Saturday, October 5, she posted a video on her YouTube channel discussing her interaction with Hathaway.
Flaa explained that Hathaway was put off by a gimmick she had devised for her interviews with the "Les Mis" cast, where she planned to sing her questions and ask the actors to respond in song. Hathaway, however, "was not very positive to that idea," according to Flaa.
Flaa said Hathaway was "being quite dismissive towards me" and that her attitude prompted negative responses from viewers. To her surprise, the video caught Hathaway's attention.
"Yesterday, I did receive an email. It was from Hathaway's publicist and he forwarded a message to me from Anne Hathaway," Flaa revealed. "I have to say I was pretty shocked. I had not expected her to reach out to me at all."
According to Flaa, Hathaway sent her a "long email" explaining what she was going through at the time of the interview and apologizing for her "awful" behavior. "It was so touching to me," Flaa said. "Talking about it makes me almost teary eyed because I was just so grateful that she did that."
