Probably sick of receiving shade herself, Anne Hathaway sent some the Kardashian-Jenner way.

The star took to Instagram to post a meme featuring actress Helena Bonham Carter with the words "In a world of Kardashians ... Be a Helena Bonham Carter."

But when she received some criticism over the image, she quickly deleted it and replaced it with a post that read: "Post removed for unintended shade thrown."

It never occurred to me I was pitting anyone against each other. Not my style. Peace x

The new mother captioned the post, "It never occurred to me I was pitting anyone against each other. Not my style. Peace x."

Hathaway herself has been the victim of much criticism over the years, with "Hatha-hate" almost becoming a sport in itself.
