Anne Hathaway has revealed that no one was fired while trying to keep body-inclusive models in the picture. The rumor gained traction after Meryl Streep referenced in a Harper’s Bazaar interview that Hathaway advocated against conventional-sized models. That nuance vanished online, replaced by claims of the actress's hand in the firing of them. Yet, Hathaway’s composed clarification now neatly unravels the narrative.

Anne Hathaway moved quickly to quiet the rumor cycle during an appearance on Good Morning America, describing how an ordinary on-set moment spiraled into exaggerated headlines. Hathaway explained that the situation was never about removing anyone. Instead, Hathaway framed it as a fleeting creative decision that actually led to the opposite of firing: more employment.

“I do want to mention there’s a little misinformation getting out there right now that people were fired because of the size inclusivity and that just didn’t happen,” Hathaway said, directly addressing the speculation. She could not reveal how the song created more jobs, but hinted that it had something to do with the "beautiful, amazing song" by Lady Gaga.

The statement comes after Anne Hathaway had already expanded Meryl Streep's Harper's Bazaar statement. She revealed to Variety that she gave the idea to the creators to be more size-inclusive. That reason being that it would have fit the context of the song better.

While setting the record straight, Anne Hathaway also managed to casually raise curiosity around Lady Gaga’s role in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Lady Gaga's involvement in The Devil Wears Prada 2

Lady Gaga steps into The Devil Wears Prada 2 with a dual presence that extends beyond a simple cameo. The performer appears on screen while also shaping the film’s musical identity. Gaga’s involvement signals a deliberate blend of fashion, performance, and sound.

On the music front, Gaga collaborates with Doechii on an original track titled 'Runway,' designed as a defining piece for the film. The song, co-written with Bruno Mars and Andrew Watt, carries a stylized edge. A visually striking video, directed by Parris Goebel, further reinforces its fashion-forward tone.

While narrative details surrounding Gaga’s character remain undisclosed, her presence was carefully integrated into the production. According to what Meryl Streep said on BBC Radio 2, she worked on the sequel alongside a demanding tour schedule. Altogether, Gaga’s involvement strengthens the film’s evolving identity, aligning seamlessly with the renewed attention sparked by Anne Hathaway’s recent clarifications.
