Kristen Stewart, known worldwide for her role in the Twilight saga, and currently promoting her new film Sacramento, has made some powerful statements throughout her career regarding various aspects of the world of fame, including the determination of sexual orientation.
Far from being just a former teen star, Stewart chose to raise her voice against the injustices she’s experienced throughout her career. With a mix of honesty and courage, she shared moments that reveal the darker side of Hollywood.
In a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Stewart criticized Hollywood harshly, revealing how the industry tried to intrude on her private life.
«I have fully been told, ‘If you just like do yourself a favour, and don’t go out holding your girlfriend’s hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie,'» she revealed. «I don’t want to work with people like that.»
Her boldness was widely applauded, with many commending her for speaking openly about the pressures she has endured. Others, however, questioned whether the industry is genuinely willing to change. Stewart made it clear she’s not interested in compromising her values and will continue to fight for a more fair and respectful environment.
Although the original interview dates back to 2019, Kristen’s words still resonate today, as other artists from the LGBTQ+ community—such as Chappell Roan—have also spoken out against gender-based discrimination in areas like the entertainment industry.
Breaking the Silence on Fame and Her Relationship with Robert Pattinson
Kristen, who is currently 35 years old, gained major recognition from the Twilight saga alongside Robert Pattinson (who has just premiered Mickey 17), with whom she was in a relationship for several years. In her interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actress reflected on the tension between success and privacy, and how trying to protect one’s personal life can also be incredibly limiting. She explains that this struggle affected various aspects of her life, including her relationship with Pattinson.
«When me and Rob were together, we did not have an example to go by,» she recalled at the time. «So much was taken from us that, in trying to control one aspect, we were just like, ‘No, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it’s ours.’»
