Raffaello Follieri, Beau of Anne Hathaway, Named in Suit

The boy-toy of Hollywood glamor girl Anne Hathaway, Raffaello Follieri, is entangled in another lawsuit, according to the New York Post.

This is potentially worse than those rather sexual photos in which Anne Hathaway apparently went to town on Raffaello Follieri while on a yacht.

According to the N.Y. Post, the D.C.-based media firm the Carmen Group is suing Follieri for $300,000, reports the Legal Times, after the Italian real estate mogul hired the company to handle his public relations in the wake of a suit brought against him by L.A.-based Yucaipa Companies in May.

The Carmen Group claims the boyfriend of Anne Hathaway never paid a $25,000 per month fee. Follieri’s rep denied the accusation, stating “The Carmen Group worked with the Follieri Group for one month and were paid for one month.”


Anne "Annie" Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American film and stage actress. Hathaway made her acting debut in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role was in Disney's critically-acclaimed comedy The Princess Diaries (2001), which established her career. She continued to appear in Disney films in the next three years, and she had the lead roles in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (both 2004). Although both were popular at the box office, they received mixed reviews from critics.

Hathaway took more creative control over her career in 2005 and co-starred in the adult-themed Havoc and Brokeback Mountain. Because of the revealing scenes in both films, her contract with Disney was terminated. The Devil Wears Prada (2006) has become the highest-grossing film of her career, and Becoming Jane, in which she stars as Jane Austen, is slated for release in 2007.

Since 2004, Hathaway has been in a relationship with real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. She enjoys interior design and reading as pastimes, and has stated that she is a non-denominational Christian. Follieri started the Follieri Foundation, a charity that provides medical assistance for children living in third world nations. Hathaway began doing charity work with her boyfriend after realizing that she used to feel sorry for herself while "having everything". Follieri and Hathaway have helped vaccinate more than 1000 children in Nicaragua.

Hathaway has cited Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead (1943) as her favorite novel. It has also been stipulated that Hathaway has given a kind of "fan service" per say that includes her showing her feet. Examples of this can be found in "Havoc" and "The Princess Diaries".
