00:00Fans defend Anne Hathaway as she apologizes to journalist for dismissive interview.
00:05The journalist who conducted the 2012 video interview recently posted it online.
00:10Fans are jumping to Anne Hathaway's defense after the actress apologized to a journalist
00:15for appearing dismissive during a video interview back in 2012.
00:20Entertainment journalist Kirstie Floss shared the interview on her YouTube channel late
00:23last week.
00:25As she reflected on what she described as a top-notch cringe moment from her career.
00:29Floss explained in the YouTube video that she was in the process of interviewing members
00:33of the Les Miserables cast when she decided to test out an idea that involved singing
00:39questions to the actors and requesting that they sing their responses.
00:43As seen in the 2012 clip Floss included in her YouTube video and shared separately on
00:48TikTok.
00:49The Princess Diaries star declined to sing her answers when Floss suggested it.
00:54Despite Hathaway's reaction, Floss sang her first question and received a one-word answer.
00:59Floss didn't sing for her next question, but Hathaway still gave a single-word response.
01:05She was just being, like, so dismissive of me, Floss reflected in her YouTube video,
01:10which she posted online on Saturday, Oct. 5.
01:14She hated me, let's face it, she really hated me.
01:18And she didn't like that idea at all, either.
01:20That was pretty obvious.
01:22On Tuesday, Oct. 8, Floss took to her Instagram account to announce that she'd recently received
01:29an emailed apology from Hathaway for the 12-year-old interview.
01:33Floss, who said she was pretty shocked by the message, said Hathaway sent her a long
01:37email explaining to me what she was going through when she did this interview, and she
01:42apologized for by-giving me an awful interview, basically.
01:46Hathaway also extended an invitation for Floss to conduct a new interview ahead of her next
01:50movie, the journalist noted.
01:53As the 2012 clip and Floss' video about Hathaway's apology spread online, fans defended Hathaway
01:59while criticizing Floss over the summer also.
02:02Called out Blake Lively for a years-old interview Floss said made her want to quit my job.
02:07I don't condone being rude to interviewers, but she's really bad, one person wrote on
02:12ex-formerly Twitter.
02:14Imagine trying to cancel the in Hathaway, a fan tweeted as another said Hathaway wasn't
02:19even rude like.
02:21Several ex-users questioned Floss' approach to the interview.
02:24One person who said they to work in journalism wrote, if I had to different media train people
02:29react negatively mid-interview, I'd reflect on myself a bit more.
02:33While another ex-user asked, what kind of questions were those?
02:37LMAO.
02:39Others were suspicious of the timing of the resurfaced 2012 interview as they recalled
02:43how Floss shared her old interview with Lively this summer as the Gossip Girl alum was promoting
02:48her latest film.
02:50And right in time when it is back on news for the Princess Diaries release, very similar
02:55to Blake, one person observed.
