Anne Hathaway apologises for portrayal of limb difference in The Witches

 

The actress said she "did not connect limb difference" with her Grand High Witch character / WARNER BROS

 

The Witches star Anne Hathaway has promised to "do better" following the criticism the film has received for its portrayal of limb difference.

 

The actress acknowledged that many people "are in pain" over the way her Grand High Witch character is depicted.

 

"I owe you all an apology," she wrote on Instagram.

 

In the new adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1983 book, the witches are revealed to have three elongated fingers on each hand and toe-less feet.

Who cares!

They should apologise for not having an Asian witch as well.

Black lives matter but Asian lives don't?

 

And why no transsexual witch, are they all homophobes?

And no witches were men...that is sexist. 

 

Where are the people in wheelchairs too?

 

The witch was bald...so what about an apology to bald people? 

 

And there are no massively appreciated fat people....so that just really bad. 

 

Even making the witches bad is offensive to real witches and pagan religions. 

 

Better pull the film.

Hollywood nonsense.

Why is there a black witch and no Mexican? I do hope their brooms are electric/coal powered.

Witches? Really?! But where are their broomsticks? That’s what young girls (and their mothers ????) want to know. It’s a fantasy film after all. An opportunity for the film producers to update the Nimbus 2000 broomstick surely: https://methodshop.com/harry-potter-broomstick/

Big mistake to apologise, IMO. Don't feed those that are only happy finding fault. They sense weakness in their prey.

Wasn't she married to william shakespeare?

Hollywood should be using real witches for the role. They certainly have enough of them around.

That's just bringing the broomstick back to it's roots. Cultural de-appropriation that should shuurely be celebrated!
