Mindy Kaling shared the moment in which she felt the most admiration for her friend and co-star Anne Hathaway. During ELLE’s Women In Hollywood ceremony, 

Hathaway was honored with a special recognition after her successful Hollywood career, and it was Mindy who introduced her to the audience at the event in Los Angeles.

“From the age of 18 years old [Hathaway] has been objectified regularly, and despite loving her as a performer I’ll tell you when I fell in love with her,” Mindy said, 

praising her for her many iconic roles in fan-favorite movies, including The Princess Diaries, Les Miserables, and The Devil Wears Prada.

Mindy went on to talk about a bizarre moment at the 2012 premiere of Les Miserables, 

when a photographer “positioned his camera low so he could take a photo up [Hathaway’s] skirt” and sold the photo.

“On the Today show the next morning, Matt Lauer said to her in this chastising, someone-has-been-naughty way, ‘Anne Hathaway I’ve seen a lot of you lately,’” Mindy recalled. “And then he asked her what’s the lesson learned from something like that, referring to paparazzi ambushing her – as if she was the one who had done something wrong.”

Mindy took a moment to read Anne’s response to the incident, following Matt Lauer’s remarks. “It kind of made me sad… that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of someone in a vulnerable moment and rather than delete it and do the decent thing, sells it. And I’m sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality of unwilling participants.”
