Actress Anne Hathaway has responded to online critics claiming her pregnancy is fake by posting a behind the scenes video on TikTok showing her getting ready for a film premiere in California.
The social media response followed her appearance on Sunday at the world premiere of her new movie, The End of Oak Street, where she wore an outfit that left her bump exposed.
Hathaway arrived on the red carpet wearing low-rise jeans alongside a light blue halter top featuring a long cape lined in red.
Red carpet style and online reaction
Addressing the comments, the Hollywood star shared footage of her styling routine, writing that she had fake hair and a real bump while describing the block party event as chaotic and melting in the heat.
In the video, a team member is seen attaching a hairpiece to add volume to her long ponytail, with Hathaway confirming to viewers that the hair was not her own.
The post came after several online commentators questioned the appearance of her belly, with some asking why it looked fake and claiming body makeup had been applied to it.
Fan defense and physical fitness
Other social media users defended the actress, explaining that her bump appeared different because she was already in strong physical condition and likely continued to exercise, describing her bump as a combination of muscle and baby.
A second supporter noted that it was strange for critics to doubt a real pregnancy simply because their own bodies had looked different during pregnancy.
Hathaway is an Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in major film productions, while her latest project, The End of Oak Street, is released by Warner Bros.
