According to reports, actress Anne Hathaway left a photo session in New York on Tuesday for Vanity Fair as a gesture of support for employees of the magazine’s parent company, Condé Nast, who are on strike.
Before the actor could start taking photos, she received news that media employees were participating in a 24-hour strike during union-corporation discussions. Variety magazine was the first to report this on Tuesday. The actor was ready with her makeup and hair done, but had not yet begun posing for pictures.
Approximately 400 employees who are members of a union at Condé Nast, which publishes magazines such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, and GQ, have gone on strike in response to the company’s handling of layoffs.
On Tuesday morning, Hathaway was at the location for a photoshoot.
An unidentified source told Variety magazine that photos had not yet been taken when the incident occurred. The source also stated that once Anne was informed of the situation, she immediately left from her hair and makeup session.
The Guardian has contacted Condé Nast and Hathaway’s representatives for a statement.
According to a report from Variety, employees went on strike in the morning when the Oscar nominations were revealed. They then gathered outside the company’s Manhattan offices for a rally.
The organization shared on X, previously known as Twitter, expressing gratitude to Anne Hathaway for respecting our picket line.
