Anne Hathaway Apologized to the Disabled Community AfterCriticism Over "The Witches".The movie was criticized after Hathaway’s character could be seen with three webbed fingers on each hand.This is more commonly known as "split hand," or ectrodactyly. .Critics argued that portraying a character with limb differences as a "scary" villain perpetuated harmful stereotypes.On Nov. 5, Hathaway shared a video from Lucky Fin Project, a nonprofit raising awareness of limbic differences. .I owe you all an apology for the pain caused. I am sorry. I did not connect limb difference…when the look of the character was brought to me; if I had, I assure you this never would have happened, Anne Hathaway.Now that I know better I promise I’ll do better. And I owe a special apology to everyone who loves you as fiercely as I love my own kids: I’m sorry I let your family down, Anne Hathaway
