Hathaway previously addressed the fact that she suddenly became the subject of public ridicule and general dislike (for reasons that still escape me) in an interview with Jezebel , saying "How the world feels about me has nothing to do with me. How other people treat me has nothing to do with me. But if anything that anybody said resonated with me as something I’d like to work on for myself, I took it in like that. And to that extent, I feel like I got to shortcut a lot of my growth. To that extent, even though I wouldn’t have chosen to go through it, I still found a way to be grateful to it."
