“During the four and a half months I worked with her, she treated me like a servant,” he recounted, having worked with Hathaway on a movie set in Los Angeles.
The actress’s dismissive and distant attitude starkly contrasted the treatment he had received from stars such as Tom Hanks, Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, and others, since Hathaway never addressed him as a human being despite them working together one-on-one.

Miller, whose daughter worked as Hathaway’s stand-in on the project, explained how the actress made no effort to learn about him or his family, keeping their interactions cold, with no attempts to connect on a personal level.
“Cate knew about my family, my kids. Johnny and Tom were the same, but Anne was completely different,” the stylist remarked, contrasting Hathaway’sbehaviorwith his other clients.
The revelation comes amid Hathaway’s recent issues withpublic perception. She had to issue anapologyearlier this month after celebrity journalist Kjersti Flaa’s interview for her 2012 movieLes Misérableswent viral.

Flaa uploaded the recounting of her conversation with the actress on October 6. She called theinteractionthe “worst interview idea she’s ever had,” explaining how Hathaway’s cold and dismissive responses made her feel uncomfortable.

Miller’s account of working with Anne Hathaway came after he was specifically asked to talk aboutBlake Lively. The actress, who recently starred in the movieIt Ends With Us, experienced a significant hit to her public image after a series of recent appearances left fans labeling her as “fake” and “rude.”
“This interview made me want toquit my job,” Flaa, who later admitted to being infertile, wrote in thevideo, which has amassed more than 5.5 million views. “That comment was like a bullet to me.”
When they arrived, they found the kitchen to be a “disaster” and the food wasn’t ready. “Even her family seemed afraid of her,” the stylist said. “No one wanted to tell her about her starving guests.”
Miller also took shots at Jennifer Lopez and Russell Crow, believing the pressure of working in Hollywood brings out the worst in actors
While Miller recognized working with Hathaway as his worst professional experience, he also talked about how working forJennifer Lópezmade him feel like “trash,” and that Russell Crow was the only actor he had ever worked with who hit him.
“At one point, we were told, ‘Attention everyone, you have to clear the room because Jennifer López is coming,'” Miller recalled, explaining how the rest of the staff panicked and hurriedly left the room.
Having forgotten his overcoat on a chair, the stylist returned to the room to retrieve it and found himself face-to-face withLópez.
“I said, ‘Hello Jennifer, we worked together inMonster in Law,’ and then she just stared blankly at me. Then she looked away to her bodyguards as if saying, ‘You were told to get this trash out and clear the room,'” Miller recounted.
Julian Morgan, the podcast’s host, then reflected on how Hollywood’s high-pressure environment could be responsible for bringing out the worst in celebrities.

“You might be onto something there,” the stylist replied, recalling howRussell Crowephysically struck him while the two were working together on the set ofCinderella Man.
“I was doing his hair, and then he went, ‘Not now, Emanuel!’ and swung at me,” the stylist recalled, pointing at his upper lip.
The stylist then recalled how Crowe called to him and apologized in tears when the scene was over.
“He asked me, ‘Do you know what it takes for me to do what I do?’ he cried. It showed me his insecurity, that he’s not Gladiator.”
While most netizens empathized with Miller’s grievances, others defended Hathaway, feeling that the exchange of pleasantries is not a requirement in professional settings

“I don’t get why she would have to ask about your life and kids. Coworkers are not your friends,” one stated.
“She might be an introvert. She might not feel comfortable talking about the private lives of others,” another explained.
“Guys, you don’t get it. It’s fine not to talk about personal stuff with a hairdresser you’ve seen once or twice, but someone you’ve been working with for four and a half months!? That’s just being rude,” one viewer replied.
“Disgusting.” Miller’s testimony received a mixed reception, with some viewers empathizing with him and others defending the actress
