Did TikTok just enter 2013, or is a HathaHate resurgence upon us?
In case you've forgotten that era, the adoration for the beloved Princess Diaries star Anne Hathaway, our Mia Thermopolis, fell by the wayside and transformed into vile detestation... and for no pinpointed reason, at that.
After skyrocketing to fame as the Princess of Genovia, Hathaway's career continued, only gaining traction, as she starred in Brokeback Mountain, The Devil Wears Prada, and Les Miserables, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Around the time of her Oscar win, though, HathaHate was in full swing, resulting in the Dark Knight Rises actor to step away for a year, even telling HuffPost she felt "people needed a break" from her.
During her speech for Elle's Women in Hollywood last fall, Hathaway addressed the unjustified hate:
"... there is a difference between existence and behavior. You can judge behavior. You can forgive behavior or not."
"But you do not have the right to judge—and especially not hate—someone for existing. And if you do, you’re not where it’s at."
Well, for some reason, a video on TikTok showing Anne Hathaway refusing to answer a question during a red carpet interview - from the same Elle event, nonetheless - is making the rounds on the social media platform, the poster posing the question in the caption, "Why she being so rude?"
In the video, a reporter asked if Anna Wintour had ever spoken to Hathaway about The Devil Wears Prada, to which she responded:
"Yes."
The reporter continued:
"And what has she shared?"
Hathaway laughed and responded:
"Why would I tell you?"
When the reporter shared that she's a fan and needed to know, Hathaway replied:
"I know, but you weren't there."

The TikTok creator displayed the words, "SO RUDE," across the screen and many agreed.
However, when the viral video made its way to Twitter, the reaction was completely different.
Many noted Hathaway was assertively setting a boundary on a question about a private conversation she didn't want to answer.
\u201c@ih8mydad @onnaelise10 It\u2019s a personal moment she didn\u2019t want to share??? Maybe if she was consistently doing it to certain people I would say micro/passive aggressive but it\u2019s not even all that\u201d— Icy Wifey\ud83d\udc8e (@Icy Wifey\ud83d\udc8e) 1683422050
\u201c@ih8mydad This was actually quite polite and it was rude for the interviewer to ask about a clearly private conversation that probably took place years ago.\u201d— Closet Butch (@Closet Butch) 1683459680
\u201c@ih8mydad Okay but WHY would she tell this random person about a personal conversation \ud83d\ude2b\u201d— Felicity \ud83d\udc9c (@Felicity \ud83d\udc9c) 1683500813
\u201c@ih8mydad im literally so confused ab this like WHAT\ud83d\ude2d she just didn\u2019t want to share personal stuff and made a joke ab this and even laughed herself\u2026 and the way she said \u2018but you wasn\u2019t there\u2019 sounds REALLY sweet to me, why would anyone be offended by this\u201d— vinogradnik.\ud83d\udc3a (@vinogradnik.\ud83d\udc3a) 1683503039
\u201c@ih8mydad Anne's right tho. That was a private conversation that we have no business butting into. These reporters need a new job.\u201d— \ud83d\udc1d\ud83d\udc1d (@\ud83d\udc1d\ud83d\udc1d) 1683507067
\u201c@ih8mydad they're going beyond personal boundaries ofc she needs to joke not to hurt them but i think people don't get sarcasm. that interviewer was rude like lol "cuz i'm a fan and i need to know" bro who are you???\u201d— ron simp (@ron simp) 1683586458
\u201c@moniza_hossain @ih8mydad It was a private conversation, with a friend. If she doesn't want to share every moment of her life, she shouldn't have to. Her saying that is her setting a boundary, and personally I don't see anything wrong with that?\u201d— Moniza Hossain (@Moniza Hossain) 1683568149
\u201c@ih8mydad Lmao \u201cshe didn\u2019t give me the gossip I wanted while laughing it away so there I get bad vibes\u201d\u201d— Dan From HR (@Dan From HR) 1683639398
Others expressed it was a rather smart move not divulging her discussion with Wintour.
\u201c@ih8mydad If Anna Wintour told me a secret I wouldn't even tell it to my own cat.\u201d— \ud835\ude3e\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude5a \ud83d\udc7e (@\ud835\ude3e\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude5a \ud83d\udc7e) 1683477701
\u201c@ih8mydad of all powerful people i wouldn't think it'd be wise to speak for Anna Wintour\u201d— marge (@marge) 1683344799
\u201c@marginallymasc @ih8mydad This, she doesn\u2019t want to get screamed at by one of the biggest Divas in Media. It\u2019s almost like they didn\u2019t watch TDWP? I\u2019ve met Anne Hathaway she was wonderful and had no reason to be, we were just eating Greek Food beside one another in the Village.\u201d— marge (@marge) 1683344799
We don't see anything wrong with her response, but then again, we weren't there.
