Inside the cursed movie Havoc that was basically buried"},"content":{"rendered":"

You may have seen a clip doing the rounds showing Anne Hathaway saying the N-word multiple times. No, it\u2019s not AI – the actress really did say it for a film called Havoc, and its backstory is almost as wild.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, Hathaway is in the midst of her biggest year yet. The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity<\/a> is dropping this week, marking the fifth major 2026 movie she\u2019s starred in after Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey <\/a><\/span>and<\/span><\/i> The End of Oak Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, she announced that she\u2019s pregnant with her third child<\/a> in June, showing off her baby bump at the press events for her recent films. <\/span><\/p>\n

But this week, talks have turned to an altogether different chapter of Hathaway\u2019s life after a clip from a long forgotten film went viral. It shows the Oscar-winning<\/a> actress singing 2Pac\u2019s \u2018How Do U Want It\u2019 – and saying the N-word twice. <\/span><\/p>\n

The post has received more than 6.6 million views at the time of writing, alongside hundreds of comments from viewers baffled by the unexpected performance. \u201cThat moment caught me completely off guard,\u201d wrote one. \u201cDefinitely wasn\u2019t expecting that from Anne Hathaway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

*Warning: The clip below contains offensive language*<\/em><\/p>\n

Erm, where is that Anne Hathaway N-word clip actually from?<\/h2>\n

The clip is from Havoc, a 2005 crime drama that is almost as controversial as the viral scene itself. The film centres on a group of privileged, white teenagers from the affluent Pacific Palisades in LA, who have become obsessed with hip-hop and gang culture.<\/span><\/p>\n
