An unearthed deleted scene from The Devil Wears Prada appears to be clouding the Meryl Streep / Anne Hathaway film's legacy for some

Deleted Scene From The Devil Wears Prada Changes the Entire Movie for Fans — and They Aren't Happy

It’s been 11 years since the film adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada hit the big screen. And though the Meryl Streep / Anne Hathaway film is beloved by fans, an unearthed deleted scene appears to be clouding its legacy for some.

In the cut clip, which takes place at a gala Hathaway’s character Andy chooses to go to over her boyfriend’s birthday, Runway magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep) finds all eyes on her when her husband (James Naughton) drunkenly stumbles in and makes a scene.

“When do we eat?” he loudly asks his wife. “It’s been a banner evening. Three people didn’t recognize me, one called me Mr. Priestly, and now the damn bartender won’t even serve me.”

“Why don’t you get me a drink?” he asks an offended Elias-Clark chairman Irv Ravitz (Tibor Feldman). “The bartender would have to listen to you, wouldn’t he little guy?”

Though Andy’s cunning coworker Emily (Emily Blunt) had allowed her to leave early, Andy sees the embarrassing scene unfolding and swoops into help — asking Ravitz a question and pulling him away from the action.

It’s a move that Priestly appreciates. Moments later, she makes eye-contact with Andy and mouths the words “thank you.”

Devil Wears Prada superfans might remember the deleted scene from when it first appeared on the DVD and again online back in 2015. But Buzzfeed writer Spencer Althouse saw it for the first time on Monday and felt showing Priestly — who was reportedly modeled after Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour, for whom Weisberger’s worked as an assistant — “mouthing the words ‘thank you” ruined everything.”

His followers seemed to agree.

“[It] makes Miranda vulnerable (to stupid hubby) which is not her persona,” wrote one.

“‘Thank You’ does not exist in Miranda Priestly’s vocabulary!” said another.

“Wow, I have never been so thankful a scene was cut from a movie,” a fan said. “Thank you, Devil Wears Prada gods.”

Of course, since the scene was cut, there’s a good chance Devil Wears Prada purists won’t be seeing it when the story hits the stage in the upcoming Broadway-bound musical — which is being penned by composer Elton John and lyricist and writer Paul Rudnick.
