Wrestling Observer Live
Special Interview June 14, 2026
Dave Meltzer: Alright, we’re doing something a little different today. Joining us is Anne Hathaway. Anne, thank you for doing this. I know this isn’t easy.
Anne Hathaway: (quiet, tired) Yeah… thanks for having me. I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should talk about this. But after seeing those photos and videos leaking… I figured it was better to just say what actually happened.
Dave: Let’s start from the beginning. How did this even come about? How were you first approached about working with CBWL?
Anne Hathaway: They reached out through my team. They said they were doing a “special crossover appearance” with Melissa McCarthy and that it was going to be edgy comedy. They made it sound like it was going to be funny and over-the-top, but in a Saturday Night Live kind of way. They never mentioned anything about toilets or… any of the stuff that actually happened. They kept saying it was going to be “wild but fun.”
Dave: When did you realize it wasn’t going to be what you thought?
Anne Hathaway: Pretty much as soon as we started shooting. They had me get into position near the toilet and then before I really understood what was happening, they had me lower my head into it. I thought it was going to be some kind of joke setup. Then they started pouring stuff on me and… it just kept going. At one point I realized they weren’t going to stop. I kept looking at the director like “Is this real?” and they just kept rolling.
Dave: How did Melissa act during all of this?
Anne Hathaway: She was laughing the entire time. Like, genuinely enjoying it. She kept making jokes and encouraging them to go further. At one point she was giving thumbs-up to the camera while I was still in the toilet. It felt like she was in on it the whole time and I was the only one who didn’t know how far it was going to go.
Dave: You mentioned in the leaked audio that you threw up in your mouth. How bad was it physically?
Anne Hathaway: It was awful. I couldn’t breathe properly. My eyes were burning. And the smell… I can still smell it sometimes when I think about it. I kept gagging and they just kept filming. I asked them to stop a few times and they acted like I was being difficult. One of the producers actually said, “This is what we paid for.” That’s when I really started to panic.
Dave: After it was over, what was the reaction backstage?
Anne Hathaway: I was crying. I couldn’t stop shaking. I just wanted to leave. Melissa was still laughing and joking around like it was the funniest thing in the world. A couple of the crew members looked uncomfortable, but nobody really said anything. They just wanted the footage. I left without even taking off the outfit they put me in. I just wanted to get out of there.
Dave: Have you heard from anyone at CBWL since?
Anne Hathaway: No. Not a single call or message. Once they got what they wanted, that was it. My team tried reaching out and they’ve been ghosted. It’s like I don’t exist to them anymore.
Dave: Looking back, do you feel like you were misled?
Anne Hathaway: Completely. They sold it as edgy comedy. They never once mentioned anything about what actually happened. If I had known even half of what they were planning, I never would’ve done it. I feel stupid for trusting them.
Dave: Last question. A lot of people are wondering why someone with your profile would even consider working with a company like CBWL in the first place.
Anne Hathaway: Because they lied. They made it sound like something completely different. And when you’re an actress and people come to you with what sounds like a fun, wild cameo… sometimes you say yes before you really understand what you’re walking into. I learned my lesson the hard way.
Dave: Anne, thank you for coming on and being honest about this. I know it wasn’t easy.
Anne Hathaway: Yeah… thanks for letting me say what actually happened. I just don’t want anyone else to get blindsided the way I did.
Dave Meltzer: I appreciate you being so open about this. I just have a few more questions, if that’s okay.
Anne Hathaway: (hesitant) …Okay.
Dave: First of all — and I know this might sound like a weird question — but was it real? The shit, I mean. Was it actually real, or was it some kind of prop?
Anne Hathaway: (exhales) It was real. They didn’t use any props for that part.
Bryan Alvarez: Jesus. Okay. And when Melissa was standing over you… did she actually fart in your face? Or was that edited or exaggerated?
Anne Hathaway: (visibly uncomfortable) She did. Multiple times. It wasn’t exaggerated.
Dave: And did she actually shit on you? Or was that also staged in some way?
Anne Hathaway: (quietly) She did. While I was still in the toilet.
Bryan: …Did you end up… eating any of it? Or was it mostly just on your face?
Anne Hathaway: (pauses for a long moment) Some of it got in my mouth. I didn’t intentionally eat it, if that’s what you’re asking.
Dave: Got it. And I know this is getting into personal territory, but since we’re already here — does Melissa wear a buttplug? And if so, do you know what size?
Anne Hathaway: (stunned) …Excuse me?
Bryan: We’ve just heard from multiple sources that she wears one during shoots. We were wondering if you noticed anything like that while you were… in that position.
Anne Hathaway: (quiet, clearly uncomfortable) I don’t know. I wasn’t exactly in a position to check.
Dave: Fair enough. And do you wear one? Or have you ever?
Anne Hathaway: (voice tightening) I don’t think that’s relevant.
Bryan: Right, right. Sorry. Last few questions then. Any plans to return to CBWL in the future? Even for something smaller?
Anne Hathaway: No. Absolutely not. I’m never going near that company again.
Dave: Would you ever consider working with WWE or AEW? A lot of people are wondering if this experience has closed the door on wrestling entirely for you.
Anne Hathaway: I don’t know. Right now I’m just trying to process what already happened. I’m not thinking about doing any more of this kind of stuff.
Bryan: One more thing — and I know this might sound random — but are you pregnant? There’s been some speculation online.
Anne Hathaway: (stunned) …No. I’m not pregnant.
Dave: Okay. And last question — what are you doing after this? Like, right after the show ends?
Anne Hathaway: (quietly) I’m going home. And I’m probably going to cry in the shower for a while. Is that what you wanted to know?
(Awkward silence)
Dave: …Right. Well, Anne, thank you again for coming on. I know this wasn’t easy.
Anne Hathaway: Yeah. It wasn’t.
Dave Meltzer: Alright, I’ve got a few more. And I’m just gonna be direct here.
When Melissa was standing over you… and she was taking a shit on your face… was she wearing a buttplug before that? Did she take one out?
Anne Hathaway: (quiet, clearly uncomfortable) I don’t know. I wasn’t exactly in a position to check.
Bryan Alvarez: Come on, Anne. A 300-pound woman is standing right over your face, spreading her ass open and shitting on you. You’re telling me you didn’t notice if she pulled a plug out first? You were literally looking right up at it.
Anne Hathaway: (visibly thrown off) I… I don’t know what you want me to say. I was trying not to look. I had my eyes closed most of the time.
Dave: But at some point you had to open them, right? You were gagging, you said you threw up in your mouth. At any point did you see her reach back and pull anything out before she started pushing?
Anne Hathaway: (voice getting smaller) I don’t remember. It was all happening really fast and I was trying to get through it. I wasn’t exactly taking notes on what was in her ass.
Bryan: So you’re saying it’s possible she had a plug in and just yanked it out right before she shit on you, and you didn’t even notice?
Anne Hathaway: (quietly) …It’s possible. I don’t know. I was trying not to think about what was happening.
Dave: Did she fart in your face before she shit? Like, was there buildup, or did it just come out?
Anne Hathaway: (visibly uncomfortable) She farted. A few times. It was loud. And then she just… kept going.
Bryan: Did any of it get in your mouth? Like actual shit, not just on your face?
Anne Hathaway: (quiet) Some of it did. I tried to keep my mouth closed but it was hard when I was coughing and gagging.
Dave: Did you end up swallowing any of it? Even by accident?
Anne Hathaway: (stunned) …Why are you asking me this?
Bryan: We’re just trying to get the full picture. A lot of people are speculating about how far it actually went.
Dave: Do you wear a buttplug? Or have you ever?
Anne Hathaway: (exhales sharply) No. I don’t.
Bryan: Any plans to ever go back to CBWL? Even for something smaller, like a quick appearance or a segment?
Anne Hathaway: No. Never. I’m done with them.
Dave: Would you ever consider working with WWE or AEW? A lot of people think this experience might’ve burned you on wrestling entirely.
Anne Hathaway: I don’t know. Right now I’m not thinking about any of that. I’m just trying to move past what already happened.
Bryan: Are you pregnant? There’s been some rumors online since this all came out.
Anne Hathaway: (flatly) No. I’m not pregnant.
Dave: Last question. What are you doing after this interview? Like, right after we hang up?
Anne Hathaway: (quiet, clearly done) I’m going to go sit in my car for a while. And then I’m probably going to cry. Does that answer your question?
(Long, awkward silence)
Bryan Alvarez: …Yeah. That answers it.
Dave Meltzer: Anne, thank you for your time. Seriously.
Anne Hathaway: Yeah. Sure.
(Call ends)
Bryan Alvarez (after she hangs up): …We went way too far with that.
Dave Meltzer: Yeah. That got ugly at the end. She sounded like she regretted doing this interview.
Bryan: We kind of turned into assholes there for a minute.
Dave: Yeah… we did.
