Anne Hathaway looks regal on the October cover of W magazine, but inside she gives the first peek into her fragile state talking about everything that happened in the wake of her breakup with Raffaello Follieri. The ex in question, Raffaello, pleaded guilty to all 14 counts against him today in an attempt to get less jail time and will be sentenced on Oct. 3, just the latest in the ongoing saga. Anne's interview took place three weeks after her breakup and his arrest, and while the actress is far from over it, she seems ready to emerge stronger than ever. Here are some highlights:
- On when the news broke about Raffaello: "Right now I don’t have the wherewithal to be anything except professional. 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. And then I had to go back and do more press, and I haven’t stopped since."
- On moving on: "I was up in Nyack [New York] the other night visiting Jonathan [Demme] and his family. They all had so much going on. And I just started to cry because I thought, I don’t have a life right now. And I haven’t for some time, and I just haven’t noticed."
- On her friends' support: "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 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. Not everyone gets that. A lot of people go through tough times alone."
It's heartbreaking to read Anne's words talking about the ongoing situation, but at least it sounds like she has an excellent support system ready to help her get through it. Hopefully soon enough we'll see that famous smile back on her face as she moves on.

I don't like her in the first pic, the lips the arms, the bones sticking out of her neck,,, i dont like it
1hahaha I'm first yayayayaya
I'm never first
2ooooh and i'm second too
3am glad shes healing with fmaily and friends support
4She's good stuff. I like that she's not revealing too much. And I love that Steve Carell was looking out for her. What a good guy.
5sorry, don't think she looks regal. i think she's looked better in virtually ever other photoshoot she's done
6I like these pics, there fierce!!!!
7*family
i agree with you fifafifa..steve is awesome!
8wow I never really liked her much but she looks AMAZING in these pics!
9She looks so skinny
10yessss...Anne nice girl, poor girl... but MAN! those gowns are EYE CANDY...WOW!
11I have little beads of sweat on my top lip for the red and black ensemble...like a sexy HOT ladybug!
I really admire Steve for doing that.
And she's a pretty girl, she'll find someone who will take care of her in ways her ex wasn't able to. And she's strong, she'll get through this.
12She's lost weight, getting a bit thin, but these pictures are amazing. I love her.
13Its hard going through any breakup and in the public eye im sure its even harder! I am glad she has good friends by her side..Michael Scott is the best friend and boss in the world after all
14i like the this look. it looks easy to copy. quick shower and blow dry. 10 minutes tops.like she just got out of bed. im gonna copy it tomorrow.
15Bless her, Glad to see her doing good!
16I think Anne is a classic beauty, she looks good here, but I've seen better pics of her!
So she lived with him for so many years,with the money the luxury the yaghts the vacs and poor old girl she never thought where he gets those money?Yeah poor old victim Anne.
17Awesome pictures - love the hair and styling.
18i hope she's able to heal from all this and move forward. i guess she was really shocked to learn all this about him, but i mean, she did spend so many years of her life with him. it must be really hard
19She is looking very thin... i wonder if has to do with Rachel Zoe being her stylist now...remember when Zoe used to style Nicole and Misha and Lindsay...and they were stick thin?
20Amazing pictures! Not a huge fan of the cover though cause the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was Amy Winehouse
21the second picture is so dreamy
, i am so glad that she got over what happened to
her , it is hard to deal with these kind of stuff but she controlled it well
22The photo shoot is amazing! I think she lost weight because all the stress.
23i was just gonna say she's prob thin from stress! i think the photos are pretty fierce actually- very artistic. i do feel bad for her- glad she has good support. lets face it- she isn't the first girl to be taken in by a guy!
24very true too....hopfully its that!
25What a sweetheart Steve was to have her back like that! Good for her for getting over him even if it takes awhile. She'll get there eventually.
26Anne is such a classy lady. I think her questions were succint, answered the questions but didn't give away too much. She just amazes me. Whoever thought that geeky little girl on Princess Diaries would come to THIS.
My heart goes out to her too, but I LOVE Steve Carrell even MORE after reading this. He let a reporter have it during the press run too, I remember reading it and going "YEAH! GIT' EM STEVE!"
27ack!
the pictures...yikes!
28Either they had the most shallow relationship we have ever seen, or she knew EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING. They were together for 4 years!!! There is no innocent Anne here... SHE KNEW! And because she is hollywood royalty, she gets to pretend she knew nothing.
29He plead guilty to 14 counts of fraud - 14!!! Incredible! And she put her name on many things he supported. Unbelievable how naive all of you are...
Oh Muggins, don't fool yourself that she knew. You call US naive? Pot, Kettle, have you met? We don't know if she did or didn't, but I'm inclined to think she didn't.
Crooks like Follieri are so smooth, they can gloss EVERYTHING over and make it all look real if they have enough money. And he did, HE STOLE IT.
30She might have been naive/turned her cheek or maybe she really didn't know either. IDK about that whole situation but she looks to be on the verge of painfully thin. Eat a biscuit Anne!
31she is a true movie star, going back to the 40's. so classy, fragile but so strong. i admire her and the photos are amazing.
32The shoots of that magazine are always amazing!
33Wow those photos are so avant-garde (sp?). Lovely!
I almost cried reading about how Steve Carell was being protective of her. That's so sweet!
34Her love for her ex hasn't vanished because he seems to be invovled in criminal things. Love and criminality are two different things. She loved the good side of him. He surprised her with a side that is criminal. Unfortunately, she has to try and pretend she is getting over this because of her career.
Think about it, suppose you had a child and he was invoved in criminal things, would you stop loving him because of that? No.
The same way, Anne is trying to go on, but she still loves him. Though being invovled with him right now is not the right move for her career. They may be able to get back together once his legal woes are over.
By the way, these pics are not my favorites of her.
35She looks beautiful on the cover !
36Ooops! I used the phrase "criminal things" too many times. Insert where appropriate, either "criminal pursuits", or "criminal stuff" to dispense with the repetition.
Thanks!
37ugg why did they make her ugly! Her makeup is hideous, she looks like Amy Winehouse.
38These pictures are sooooo gorgeous.. the lips and especially the eyes.. i could do without the braided bun, but then again, it draws the focus to her face. I might just buy this magazine.
Also... leave her be.. we dont know if she did or didnt know. Either way it goes, she loved that man and it's going to be hard for her to move on regardless of what he did.
39she's been on a lot of covers this month and i guess it's good for her although it means that a lot of her 'dirty laundry' is being aired out. i hope that she comes out on top for all of this and that she's able to find someone to be with again that she trusts. being with the con artist for as long as she was - well that has to hurt! she's given him so much money and that's something that she won't get back along with the years/energy and emotions that she invested.
at least we get to see her in some pretty gowns!
40I agree with kluster86.She's gorgeous!
41She looks really pretty on the cover- I would think she is a model versus an actrees seing that pic. Skinny yes, but I think its from stress..her face looks very pretty and European.
42She looks gorgeous here! It's definitely not your usual photoshoot. I love how she answered the questions too. Go Anne!
43love these new photos. a completely different look for her. yey!
