Anne Hathaway and Raffaello Follieri

The sweet Anne Hathaway breaks her silence in October’s W about her split from Italian beau Raffaello Follieri, who was arrested in June on charges of wire fraud and money laundering.

Hathaway says, “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. 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. 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.’

“I’ve been shown such kindness,” Hathaway goes on, wiping a tear from her face. “Not everyone gets that. A lot of people go through tough times alone.”

While visiting her Rachel Getting Married director Jonathan Demme and his family, she got sad.

“They all had so much going on. And I just started to cry because I thought, ‘I don’t have a life right now,’” she says. “And I haven’t for some time, and I just haven’t noticed.”

“In the fall I’ll start focusing again,” Hathaway continues, “but right now I need to be me for a little bit.”

Ah, Anne!  We are a little sad for her.  Let’s hope she gets centered and finds happiness.
