For the first time since splitting with Raffaello Follieri, Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has broken her silence on her former flame’s shock arrest in June.
“As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart,” Hathaway told W magazine. “And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house.”
“It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden,” Hathaway said of the incident. “But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me. One said, ‘Go stay at my house.’
“And [Get Smart co-star] Steve Carell stepped up for me during an interview when someone asked a question [about it]. He said, ‘At some point you’re going to have to talk about this time in your life. You don’t have to do it this week. I’ll take care of anything that comes your way.’”
The Princess Diaries star added: “I’ve been shown such kindness. Not everyone gets that. A lot of people go through tough times alone.”
Incidentally, Hathaway called it quits with Follieri over the phone “just hours” before he was arrested for money laundering and fraud. Follieri has since pleaded guilty to all charges, and will serve more than four years in prison for his crimes.
Sounds like Anne got out just in the nick of time!
