Anne Hathaway Clarifies 'Devil Wears Prada 2' Model Controversy

Anne Hathaway recently addressed widespread social media discussions surrounding size inclusivity during the filming of "The Devil Wears Prada 2." While speaking with "Good Morning America," Hathaway clarified a narrative suggesting she was responsible for models being fired from the production due to their size.

Hathaway emphasized that no models lost their positions and that her intention was to enhance the scene's inclusivity. She explained that her input to the producers was a suggestion to feature a wider variety of body types, believing it would strengthen the visual narrative and audience engagement.

Co-star Meryl Streep had previously shared that Hathaway proactively approached producers about the skeletal appearance of some models, successfully advocating for a more diverse representation. Hathaway confirmed this account, noting that the producers were receptive and swiftly implemented changes to include more inclusive sizing.

Hathaway's statements aim to correct misinformation, highlighting that her advocacy resulted in positive outcomes and more job creation, rather than negative consequences for any models. The film is slated for release on May 1.
