Anne Hathaway got a little creative with her revenge on paparazzi who stalked her during the holidays.
Hathaway, the Oscar Award-winning star of "Les Miserables," effectively told tabloid and media photographers stalking her to "back off" by leaving a bag of dog poop on the paparazzo's windshield before taking off.
Anne Hathaway decided to spend the morning of December 26 taking a leisurely stroll with her dog, Esmeralda, and the "Les Miserables" star did not take the idea of being intruded on and stalked during her day off by an unnamed man with a camera.
To make a statement to her stalker, the 31-year-old actress left a yellow plastic bag of her dog's excrement on the paparazzi's windshield, after cleaning up after Esmeralda like any other responsible pet owner.
Anne Hathaway reportedly only left the bag before peacefully continuing her walk with Esmeralda.
The action sparked controversy on the internet as many fans regarded the incident with admiration of the actress' spunk while a few viewed the action as "crude." Others did not expect such an "indelicate" way of handling the matter with the paparazzo from the elegant Anne Hathaway who starred in movies and shows such as "The Princess Diaries" and "Get Real."
Majority have chosen to back up Hathaway on the incident, even praising the actress for her clever sense of humor and creative revenge against the paparazzi who intruded on her private time.
Media reporters have attempted to contact Anne Hathaway's representative regarding the matter but no statement or further information on the incident has been disclosed.
Anne Hathaway could be fined for littering if she admits to leaving the canine excrement on the paparazzi's windshield. No news or statements from the paparazzi's side has been made regarding the incident and it is unconfirmed whether he will press charges against Hathaway for her creative act of retaliation.
