Controversial Claims by the Hairstylist
Renowned hairstylist Emanuel Miller has stirred attention by calling Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez some of the worst A-list stars he has worked with. In a recent episode of the podcast “What It Was Like,” Miller recounted his unpleasant experiences with both actresses, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes challenges he faced. His claims spotlight the often unseen dynamics that can exist between stylists and high-profile celebrities.
Anne Hathaway: A Disappointing Experience
Miller’s account of working with Hathaway was particularly striking. He said, “I worked on a film with Anne Hathaway, and it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.” He claimed that throughout over four months, Hathaway treated him “like a servant,” never acknowledging him as a person. In response, Hathaway denied these accusations, expressing disappointment and wishing Miller well in a statement to Page Six. “Unfortunately, Manny’s memory of our time together is very different from mine,” she stated. Miller emphasized that during their time together, Hathaway never engaged in personal conversation with him, despite his daughter working as a stand-in on set. “I did her hair exclusively, and she never asked about my family,” he recalled, noting the stark contrast between Hathaway and other celebrities with whom he enjoyed friendly interactions.
Jennifer Lopez: An Unpleasant Encounter
Miller’s experience with Lopez was equally disappointing. He recounted a chaotic backstage moment during a talk show, where he and his team were suddenly asked to “clear the room” for the pop star’s entrance. “I’ve been in many green rooms, but I’ve never had an experience like that,” he commented. When he returned to retrieve a forgotten coat, Miller described his encounter with Lopez as cold and distant. “I politely greeted her and mentioned that we had worked together on the film ‘Monster-in-Law,’ but she simply looked through me, signaling to her bodyguard that I was just ‘trash’ that needed to be removed from the room,” he claimed. This lack of acknowledgment, despite their prior collaboration, left Miller feeling shocked and undervalued.
Blake Lively: A Mixed Experience
Miller also shared insights into his relationship with Blake Lively during the filming of “Hick” in 2011. Although Lively initially invited him and crew members to lunch, the meal apparently didn’t go as planned. He described, “When I arrived, lunch wasn’t served, and the atmosphere felt uncomfortable.” Although Lively was friendly, Miller noted that she didn’t socialize with anyone else at the gathering, leading to an awkward encounter. This mixed experience with Lively illustrates the complexities of celebrity interactions.
The Hairstylist’s Perspective
Miller’s candid revelations about his experiences with Hathaway, Lopez, and Lively provide deeper insight into the less glamorous side of working with celebrities. His stories highlight how some stars can come across as dismissive or unapproachable, contrasting sharply with the positive interactions he’s had with other A-listers. As the beauty industry continues to evolve, these anecdotes serve as reminders of the varying dynamics between stylists and their high-profile clients, shedding light on the often-unseen challenges in the world of celebrity culture.
