Anne Hathaway’s businessman ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has hit out at reports their split was caused by his controversial business dealings. Hathaway reportedly dumped her longterm lover at the weekend, fearing his headline-grabbing antics could sabotage her burgeoning career. The Get Smart star had previously stood by her man throughout their four-year relationship, during which Follieri has been caught up in a host of scandals – most recently last week, when it was revealed the children’s charity he runs was under investigation by New York authorities. Follieri was also arrested earlier this year for passing a bad cheque and was sued by a former business partner in 2007. But his spokesperson insists the Italian businessman is “angered” by “repeated mischaracterisations” of his breakup with Hathaway – because the split was amicable. The rep tells the New York Post, “It is worth noting, as you continue to attempt to scandalise a respected businessman and philanthropist, that the Follieri Foundation has vaccinated hundreds of children in Nicaragua and Honduras to date, in addition to recently rebuilding an orphanage in Brazil.”
