Anne Hathaway has had to deal with abuse in Hollywood.
The 35-year-old Oscar winner told the June/July issue of Glamour it can be tough working in the movie business. ‘I’ve had a 20-year career and I’ve had some really, really bad experiences, but I’ve had a lot of great ones too—with members of both genders,’ the brunette bombshell said.
The Ocean’s 8 actress added that her experiences do not compare with the ‘atrocious, galling stories’ other women have shared in recent months, she has had ‘negative on-set experiences, some of a sexual nature. Some are from the beginning of my career, some are more recent—all are unacceptable.’

Now she is working on Time’s Up for all women.
‘But it’s not just being an actress. Being a 35-year-old cisgendered woman who has experienced the everyday, abusive imbalance of the world also made me want to be a part of a movement for change….
‘I know the world can be far worse for others than it has been to me, but I suppose, like most everyone who has been hurt, I want to protect others from going through the worst of what I experienced,’ said the Devil Wears Prada star.
‘I want to help make what I consider the best of my experiences to be the norm, as it always should have been.’
Truth time: She also talked about how tough working in the movie business can be. ‘I’ve had a 20-year career and I’ve had some really, really bad experiences, but I’ve had a lot of great ones too—with members of both genders,’ she said
And she said she thinks abuse runs so deeply within the industry because ‘there’s got be some guys who get high off the power. But in a lot of cases, it’s an an echo chamber. Most guys have never seen anything different.’
The Rio star the said: ‘If change is going to happen, we have to get uncomfortable.
‘Somebody really brilliant once told me that prophecy is not handed down by DNA. We learn by telling each other stories.’
Not easy: ‘While they do not begin to approach the atrocious, galling stories others have shared in recent months, I’ve had negative on-set experiences, some of a sexual nature. Some are from the beginning of my career, some are more recent—all are unacceptable’
Anne has also had to deal with trolls.
She had a harsh spotlight put on her when her fiance Raffaello Follieri was accused of conning the Catholic Church.
And then years later, when she over effused while winning her Academy Award for Les Miserables.
That led to hate campaigns against her. But now the beauty knows how to deal with the life in the fast lane.
Snoozy? Who cares! ‘I don’t know if that makes me a boring person. I don’t really care if it does,’ she insisted. The June/July issue on national newsstands June 5

She used to get mad: ‘I have a history with rage. I used to do this thing where I was like, “I’m nice 29 days out of 30, and then I give myself permission to be a bitch to anyone, about anything,”‘ she said
Peace talks: ‘I realized that if I could actually move away from the judgment and deal with my emotions in the moment, I didn’t actually need the extra day,’ she said. ‘Rage doesn’t lead you to a place of peace. And for me the goal is not happiness. The goal is peace’
And she addressed some bad behavior in the past.

What her dad told her: ‘When I was a teenager and life was starting happen, my dad said to me: “Three promises. Don’t get a tattoo until you’re 23. Don’t get into motorcycles”—we have a family history of motorcycle accidents—”and don’t lie.” I took that in really, really deep,’ said the Intern star
‘Rage doesn’t lead you to a place of peace. And for me the goal is not happiness. The goal is peace.’
She also talked about the advice her parents handed down to her when she was taking off in films like 2004’s Ella Enchanted.
