In the July issue of British Elle, ‘Twilight’ star Kristen Stewart compared being followed by the paparazzi to getting raped. And after that, “the blogosphere exploded in outrage”. In other words, 5 self-important nerds and unloved cows in baggy jeans demanded an apology. And got one, it would seem. People says…
“I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously … and I’m really sorry about my choice of words.”
“I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want,’ ” she says (but) in this instance, she feels compelled to address the situation. ” ‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought,” she notes.
(In the past) She has done public service announcements for the advocacy group RAINN and for SOC.
The irony of the situation is not lost on the actress. “People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”
Hopefully tomorrow she’ll issue another apology to people who have had their guts ripped out. Anyone who speaks in hyperbole to illustrate a point can go fuck themselves, I say.
