Anne Hathaway is convinced she’ll emerge stronger from the wreckage of her relationship with jailed former fiance Raffaello Follieri.

The actress ditched Follieri in June after discovering he was facing 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and money laundering.

The 30-year-old is currently on trial in Manhattan and is facing a lengthy prison sentence.

Hathaway has been forced to deal with his betrayal in the public eye, as she promoted movie Get Smart and new release Rachel Getting Married. But she is determined the trauma will make her a stronger person.

She says, “Everything that has happened to me, good and bad, I feel has happened for a reason. I’ve been made stronger from the good stuff and much, much stronger from the bad stuff.”

Among the many problems Anne Hathaway has faced since the arrest of her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri is a practical concern: She needs a new place to live. “She’s okay, but is staying at her parents’ New York apartment right now,” an insider says, adding that the 25-year-old star is currently crashing on their couch.

That’s a far cry from the $37,500-a-month duplex apartment she shared with her ex, which was raided as part of the FBI’s investigation of Raffaello. Anne also turned over to FBI agents thousands of dollars in jewelry and gifts that her ex, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy on September 10, gave her. “We have a fabulous relationship!” Anne has said about her parents Kate and Gerard.

Anne Hathaway is taking a little time away from showbusiness in an effort to address the personal hell she has been through this year.

The Brokeback Mountain star split from boyfriend Raffaello Follieri in June shortly before he was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering in an alleged scam allowing him to purchase unwanted U.S. properties owned by the Catholic Church.

Hathaway threw herself into work in an effort to keep a distance from the scandal and her ex, but her feelings came to a head recently during a visit to director pal Jonathan Demme’s home in upstate New York.

She tells W magazine, “They (Demmes) all had so much going on. And I just started to cry because I thought, ‘I don’t have a life right now. And I haven’t for some time, and I just haven’t noticed.’”

So Hathaway is taking a little time to focus on herself before jumping back into work: “In the fall I’ll start focusing again. But right now I need to be me for a little bit. “(Musician) Robyn Hitchcock… has this great line in one of his songs: ‘I’m not an integrated person.’ That’s the way I feel most of the time. I feel like I have to apologize for myself in front of most people.”

Anne Hathaway’s ex Raffaello Follieri plead guilty today to one count of conspiring to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud, and five counts of money laundering.

According to the United States Attorney of the Southern District of New York, Follieri, who dated Hathaway for several years, ran a fraudulent real estate investment scheme and frequently and falsely claimed that the Vatican had appointed him to be its Chief Financial Officer and that he met with the Pope when he visited Rome. But that in reality, his connections consisted of an administrative employee at the Vatican who he secretly paid with investor funds, authorities said.

The States Attorney goes on to say that, “based on these and other fraudulent representations, Follieri misappropriated over $2 million in investor money which he used to finance a lavish, jet-setting lifestyle.”

Due to his guilty plea, Follieri faces a maximum sentence of 265 years in prison.

Bubbly Anne Hathaway reveals she went into hiding after her boyfriend was charged with fraud earlier this year, telling W magazine senior editor Danielle Stein, “As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for ‘Get Smart.’ And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house.”

Danielle sits down with a somber and reflective Anne in the new issue of W, on stands Sept. 23, and talks at length about the scandal. In a devastating blow to the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ star, her ex, Raffaello Follieri, was charged in U.S. District Court in New York with conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering in connection with a scheme that allegedly duped investors into believing he had close connections with the Vatican, allowing him to purchase unwanted U.S. properties owned by the Catholic Church.

“It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden,” Anne says. “But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me. One said, ‘Go stay at my house.’ And Steve Carell stepped up for me during an interview when someone asked a question [about it]. He said, ‘At some point you’re going to have to talk about this time in your life. You don’t have to do it this week. I’ll take care of anything that comes your way.’”

Hathaway, whose ex-boyfriend was arrested in June on charges of operating a fraudulent real estate scheme that he claimed was linked to the Vatican, said she has the greatest friends in the world and she trusts them with her privacy and to help her move forward in trying times.
