Longtime celebrity hairstylist Emanuel Miller claims Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez are two of the worst A-listers he’s ever worked with over the years.
“I did a film with Anne Hathaway and that was one of my worst experiences,” Miller alleged on this week’s episode of the “What It Was Like” podcast.
“Anne never acknowledged me as a person. For four and a half months, she treated me like a servant.”
However, Hathaway denied the allegations in a statement to Page Six.
“It’s unfortunate to hear that Manny’s memory of our time together differed so dramatically from mine,” she said. “I continue to wish him nothing but the best.”
During the podcast episode, the beauty specialist noted that his daughter was a stand-in for the film at the time, claiming not once did the “Princess Diaries” actress ask Miller about his family.
“I was doing [Anne’s] hair personally, just one on one, I was just doing her hair,” he recalled. “She never said, ‘Your daughter. Do you have other children?’ or ‘How long have you been married?’ There was never any personal conversation.”
Miller went on to explain how he had plenty of friendly and warm conversations with other celebrities over the years — like Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks — but that “Anne Hathaway never did that.” He also claimed that, like Hathaway, he had an allegedly awful interaction with Lopez years ago.
“All [of a] sudden, we were told the next guest is on her way, It’s Jennifer Lopez,” Miller shared of an unknown talk show appearance for the singer.
Miller said they were told to “clear the room” and that “suddenly there was an instant panic.”
“I’ve been doing a lot of talk shows in the green room with a lot of actors and I’ve never had that experience,” Miller noted.
Miller was allegedly on his way out when he realized he left his overcoat in the room and turned back around to retrieve it.
“So I went back into the room to get my overcoat that was hanging over a chair and when I turned around, Jennifer walked into the room,” he claimed.
Miller said he kindly greeted the pop star and mentioned that they worked together on her 2005 film, “Monster in Law.”
“Jennifer just looked at me, just gave me a blank stare, and then looked away to her bodyguards as if [to say] you were told to get this trash and clear the room. Why isn’t this room cleared?” he alleged.
Miller said he was taken aback by J.Lo’s inability to converse with him despite having worked together in the past.
The coiffure connoisseur also spilled on his allegedly negative interaction with Blake Lively.
Miller shared that when he was Lively’s hairstylist for her 2011 film, “Hick,” she invited him and other members of the crew to lunch. When he arrived, however, the lunch allegedly wasn’t being served and he allegedly had an unpleasant encounter with Lively.
“Is it possible that she was just feeling, I don’t know, anxious?” the podcast host asked. “Did you witness maybe some rampant anxiety in the context of a dinner party where she didn’t really know anyone?”
Miller replied, “That’s very kind of you to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I didn’t see her speak to anybody.”
Reps for Lopez and Lively did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
