OlderJodie Foster: Leave Kristen Stewart Alone!
Jodie Foster is speaking out about the media’s take of the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal in an op-ed piece she wrote for The Daily Beast.
Here are some excerpts from Kristen‘s Panic Room co-star’s piece:
On media ruining young celebrities’ childhoods: “Lift up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams. See, they’re just like us. But we seldom consider the childhoods we unknowingly destroy in the process… I’ve said it before and I will say it again: if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started.”
On working with Kristen: “In 2001 I spent 5 months with Kristen Stewart on the set of Panic Room mostly holed up in a space the size of a Manhattan closet. We talked and laughed for hours, sharing spontaneous mysteries and venting our boredom. I grew to love that kid…“She doesn’t want to be an actor when she grows up, does she?” I asked. Her mom sighed. “Yes … unfortunately.” We both smiled and shrugged with an ambivalence born from experience. “Can’t you talk her out of it?” I offered. “Oh, I’ve tried. She loves it. She just loves it.”
On Kristen today: “Cut to: Today … A beautiful young woman strides down the sidewalk alone, head down, hands drawn into fists. She’s walking fast, darting around huge men with black cameras thrusting at her mouth and chest. “Kristen, how do you feel?” “Smile Kris!” “Hey, hey, did you get her?” “I got her. I got her!” The young woman doesn’t cry. F–k no. She doesn’t look up. She’s learned. She keeps her head down, her shades on, fists in her pockets. Don’t speak. Don’t look. Don’t cry.”
On moving on from a scandal: “Eventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And, yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don’t lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and—finally—the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don’t let them take that away from you.”

Totally agree with everything she said. This made me love Jodie Foster even more than I did before!
Shut up you diesel *itch!
Very much agreed. Say whatever you want, i adore Kristen !!
Glad to see there’s people actually seeing that a mistake don’t have to define your whole career and of course neighther your life. Glad to see people supporting both of them. Carry on, both!
Sorry, but any person who doesn’t have respect for somebody elses marriage and family, gets every bad thing they deserve. And the married person risking everything for a cheap fling deserves just as much, if not more, c r a p that comes their way.
Shut up, Foster. I bet if Trampire had an affair with your husband whom you had children with you would not be saying much of anything. You would be too mortified, broken, and hurt. The trampire participated in a selfish, destructive act. The director is just equal of a scumbag. This is the backlash she gets. I bet Kristen loved how she was being touted all over for her so-called acting so I guess she has to take the good with the bad period.
Oh please, Jodie! We don’t want to ruin her career by any means, but we are only talking about the huge mistake she made which are two separate things, I’m sure you are old enough to know that.
Sorry, Jodie. Doesn’t change what she did. She IS a cheater. Is she evil and bad? No. But she had no concept of the hurt she could cause by her stupid dalliance. It’s stupidity for an adult woman to not be able to think that through. Not to mention the great guy she has lost and hurt deeply. Yes, it will “blow over”, but she has probably caused irrevocable damage to her relationship and a marriage.
Wake up people. Kristen is not a saint. The reason why people are pissed is because all along she has acted like she was above everyone. What a hypocrite. I bet if Foster knew the person who had an affair with her husband (acting like she was her friend) Foster would feel the betrayal even more.
I’m glad she’s taking her side. Not that I agree with cheating but I’m sick of people sl*t shaming Kristen because of her private life. She lost movie roles yet the married man who ALSO cheated is still directing? Revolting. Hollywood is such a misogynistic place—this would have never been so blown out of proportion had it been Robert doing the cheating.
I like Jodie Foster andi realize that everyone makes mistakes. However, I don’t think she should defend Kristen for cheating on her loving boyfriend with a married man. What about Liberty, her kids and Rob’s feelings?Perhaps she should write a letter for them, because they are the innocent ones who have gotten their hearts crushed.
I can’t take her seriously since she defends Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski so passionately. Kristen is not as bad as these 2 but she is still a crappy person.
Leave Kristen alone?? Then MAYBE Kristen should have written a PRIVATE apology to her boyfriend. Kristen brought all this on herself, and she wanted it. For in a interview expressing she wishes something would happen because she felt like a bore, AND for CHEATING in a PUBLIC place with .. i give up.
Go back into your closet Jodie. People are gonna start talking about YOU since YOU talk about people(Kristen).
You mean to tell me that it’s okay when the media is giving praise to Kristen when she gets roles and appears on covers and gets paid millions in the process, but the media “should leave her alone” when she goes an have an affair with a director whom she knew the wife and children. How professional is that of Kristen. Sorry, Kristen and that dog director made their dirty bed and hurt many in the process so they should both lie in it.
Tell that to those kids, Foster who Kristen played with and acted all fake around. Tell that to the wife, Foster. How insensitive of you.
I like Jodie, but no.
Jodie Foster is sooooo full of sh!it. It’s such a hardship to be a celebrity!! doesn’t matter all the BS their PR feeds the public over the years? yeah, we should all feel so sorry for them. NOT
Foster just lost all the respect i had for her. what the hell woman. if it was your husband then you would have probably killed kristen. why the fu.ck is she cleaning kristen’s a.ss.
nutcase. i bet she’s thinking of getting back to the industry so people need to talk about her and thats why shes talking about this now.
kristen is a sl.ut and she has no talent what so ever.
enough said.
OK BUT…..WHY ALL THE ACTORS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PAPZ, THE MEDIA, THE CRITICISM, ETC, AND NO ABOUT THE MILLIONS THEY EARN?, THE HOUSES, THE CARS, THE CLOTHING , AND ALL THE LUXURY?
THIS COME BY THE HAND WITH FIRST DEAR CELEBRITIES AND YOU KNOW IT , WEN YOU SIGN ON THE X OF A MOVIE CONTRACT YOU SELL YOURSELF TO THE MEDIA .
AND IF I KNOW, ALL THE EYES ARE ON ME, I BEHAVE =D
Jodie, you should be embarrassed. What that trampire did is not a small thing. A broken home, a broken trust resulting from both the directors and Kristen’s behavior is not something you just wake up from or that fixes itself overnight –especially with children involved.
Jodie, please go back into the panic room because you are trying to trivialize something with serious consequences. Kristen is a public figure. Comments and opinions come with the territory, especially when the public support these figures by supporting their movies, music, or whatever else.
Jodie doesnt seem to be denfending her but point out facts about this life and the media. I didnt take it fully as defending Kristen.
Jodie Foster’s response is a tad bit dramatic. I’m sure this girl will go on to have a great career despite her lack of acting skills. Cheating scandals have followed many people over the years and I don’t see her standing up for them.
I’m sorry but the idea that these public figures do not complain about all the millions they receive and extensive media coverage to promote their movies or projects but want to scream “leave me alone” when things are not too peachy is such hypocrisy. Take the good with the bad. If you do not want the bad, don’t go messing with a married man. Same goes for the scum director. Keep things professional, Not ****** and deceiving…
Foster, you need a grip on reality.
2 lesbians.
She shouldn’t of said anything.
who set Foster free from the Panic Room. She needs to rethink her statements. She gives no regard to the wife and children. A true friend will and should tell you when you are wrong. Kristen’s acts were very wrong. The cheating husband actions was extremely wrong. Both were wrong. Perhaps if Kristen never acted like she was above Hollywood and everyone else on the planet …people would not be so appalled by her participation in an affair, but we all know that is not the case. What happen to no comment, did Foster just want to get on headlines. That’s very classless of you, Foster.
do you all have a brain? seriously !?! go get find one
Well said Jodie F.
not every one in hollywood wants to have a public life, like some stupid celebrity. she just want to play in movies, thats what she loves and want to do!
Too bad!! Kristen should know better!! shame on her.
I dont understand how people forget liberty and the kids. its always kristen.
whats with the world these days. kristen has that who.re vibe on her. and no matter how much you try to clean it you are who you are.
Honestly people grow up. I doubt Jodie is condoning what she did. That just goes to show you twats didn’t read. What is saying is that Kristen is a 22 year old female. We all know 22 years olds do dumb stuff. She cheated. So what? 95% of the human population cheat and everyone is acting like she’s the love child of Adolf Hitler or Khan. Seriously. The pictures released weren’t even that serious. Yeah she kissed him. Yea she let him touch her. What a scandal!!!! She’s been with Rob for 3 years and before that she had a long relationship with Michael. Chick doesn’t know what she wants and while it IS WRONG what she did. People do it. She’s 22! People make DUMB decisions all the time and regret them. She probably feels like crap. Not only did she mess up her career but her relationship too. All the while still we can praise people like Morgan Freeman, Woody Allen, and Roman Polanski…hell even Angelina Jolie and be ok with. GTFO. All the women being like “Yay, she’s down and out” ought to be ashamed. What if it were you? Your mother? Sister? As a woman, it’s not right our people are dogging her or Rupert can still get a job and she’s getting dropped left and freaking right. He OUGHT to know better. He cheated 2 years before. If anyone is to blame, it’s him and if their is to mock it’s him…maybe even Liberty because they’re fine and she took him back once again. This was a mistake on Kristen part and I agree with Jodie. She’s 22. They’re dumb and don’t think until the damage has been done-unfortunately.
Kristen CHOSE to act. Like she CHOSE to cheat AND ruin a whole other family. These people in the industry still don’t realize the PUBLIC makes or breaks your career. We don’t need you.
PLEEEASE TAKE A LOOK!!!
A PIT BULLL in Colorado who is in danger of being EXECUTE — despite the fact that he’s NEVER HURT anyone. Will you join me?

When Dre and another dog got out of their garage on July 26th, they were understandably freaked out. They spent the day barking and startling the neighbors. Although it eventually took five police officers to catch the frightened dogs, not one single person was bitten or scratched.
One of the dogs, who is not a pit bull, was released almost immediately. Dre, on the other hand, has been labeled “vicious” and put into quarantine.
On August 10th, Dre will go on trial. Will you join me in standing up for him?
http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AGy97/zMOI/cF30z
she’s a hoe
How about you tell the media “no comment”? How about you say something neutral such as like “I feel for all parties involved” and leave it at that. Your input in this mess completely disregard the wife and the children. Shame on you, Foster. If it happened to you or your friend, I bet you would not publicly come out and support the ones who betrayed you or your friend. I agree that a married director and anyone he or she works with need to learn and strive to keep things professional, not sl*tty and sk*nky.
If you really think about this issue, you would know that it was the married man who compromised his family. she only cheated on a boyfriend there are no attachment & no children. She can offer to make mistake the man in the other hand did something awful to his family. However, people are letting him get away with it while Kristin gets all the nasty media attention. This isn’t fair at all and yes leave the girl alone. Follow the the man who cheated on his beautiful wife with two beautiful kids. Ask him how he feels about all the pain he has caused????
Unbelievable for people to say or suggest that just because you are not married to someone who you are in a relationship it means that the person does not deserve or expect your loyalty, faithfulness and respect. I really do wonder what some people are smoking. Rob deserved consideration period. The tramp slept with a married man while knowing fully of the children and the wife — even if the trampire was not in a relationship it would still be wrong. Get a grip, golly. As for the director well he is just lower than dirt. He wrecked his promise to love and honor… what a mess. And let’s not forget the children.
@niagirl: So just because crime and murders are common and “95% of the population” has committed a felony makes it OK? Didn’t your mother ever tell you just because everybody does it doesn’t make it right? No matter how you try to sugarcoat it, wrong is W-R-O-N-G. Period. No ifs ands or buts.
This whole episode conveys the propper message:
deceit will land you in a bad place
and
class and grace in the face of being victimized will bring admiration
Screw all those making excuses. You are resposible for trying to make wrong ,right.,and this world more of a Sh*t hole than it already is.
@Sihaam: You must be 4. Sooooo, it’s completely okay to cheat on your boyfriend because you guys aren’t married? And because this person is not married, it makes it okay to sleep with a married man because the wife and kids are not her ‘problem’? You’re messed up. For people to even try to justify her behavior with stupid logic makes me pity your future family and children. Believe it or not, but we’re all accountable for our own actions.
she also defends Roman Polanski and Mel Gibson
its enough already. Leave the girl alone. She got it already. imagine her state now
I loved it! As we are cruel when it comes to failures of the other. The Kristian is the only villain, until the director is holy.
How many people are getting from their suffering?? Let them heal their wounds.
they would be judged as severe, if it was Rob? Do not approve of treason, but we have no right to judge pu condemn anyone. What have lived, live or will live truly never know.
What counts in life is to be happy. The best solution is that which comes from the heart
ONLY THAT WHICH LACK speak HOME HAS BEEN UNDONE BY HER, an old man ADULT. IT SEEMS THAT THE ONLY KRISTIAN WRONG IS THAT THOUGHT sexist. IT MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED AND LORD OF THEIR ATTITUDES. WHAT false morality.
I am so sick to death of Kristen Stewart and I am more than thrilled this miserable and whor -ibble so called actress is in hiding..spare us from seeing her. As for Pattinson he’s an idiot for even dating that dirt. No other star is coming to this whor-ibble person’s defense because cheating with a married man is low ball. remember how everyone thought Sandra Bullocks dirt ex husband was a low ball for cheating on his wife with some trash,
Totally agree. This made me have more respect for her.
Okay, some ppl on here, what the f, did you not read?
I agree what Kristen did was totally wrong, not respectably.,etc what Jodie is trying to say is to take a chill pill. Stop calling her a tampie or whatever. Cuz that makes you look like some dumb idiot, bully even. Makes you look bad not Kristen. shes 22, young she made a dumb mistake. Its not the end of the world. Yes she should have realized he was married, but don’t you think he should have realized that too?? Especially since he was the one married w/kids, hes like 46!
Yes, actors make millions, whatever. I’m sure majority of them who give millions to keep all the paps out,its not cool when a grown man yells at you like a dog and clicks pics of you everywhere. They hide in bushes, they are disgusting. Its not cool w/bloggers, twitter ppl pick at you and judge you. I live in a big fat family, I can tell privacy is a very underrated thing. Actors choose to be actors because they like acting,its their passion, they want to do it. Thats what Jodie said, sadly today the media has become the biggest enemy along w/the paps. Thats what she is saying. Money does not equal happiness nor privacy. Also if Kristen is soo bad for sleeping w/a married man, how you guys forget Angelina did the same damn thing w/Brad and Jen. He was a married man, isn’t she also a trampie? also she was 30? Did she not knw he was married?
Ang is certaintly a tramp.
I love how some people cannot make their point without bringing Angelina Jolie as an example. Sorry, but nobody on here said Angelina Jolie was right. What she did was wrong and what Brad did was wrong. You better believe Jolie was ridiculed just like that singer Leanne Rimmes/ and the husband are still ridiculed every once in while. The fact remains this sort of behavior is hurtful and for some people they can never recover or it can take years to. Pretending like it’s not big deal is the wrong attitude. Kristen’s age is irrelevant because I am 100% sure she knew darn well what she was doing was wrong, all the while she was probably smiling in Rob’s face and the wife probably thought her husband communicating with Kristen was nothing—only to be betrayed so sneakily. Put yourself in the wife, the kids, or Rob’s shoes. Not nice, not pretty.
@huh?
I think you have it right
well said
News flash, Jodie. People grow up and change. She’s grown up and changed and is/was f**king around with another woman’s husband.
Sometimes you can forgive but you can never forget. Do you think Jennifer Aniston had an easy time dealing with Brad’s cheating? Did Angelina not know about Aniston? Did Brad reflect on his vows? I’m sure the cheaters are only able to leave with themselves by convincing themselves that what they did wasn’t a big deal, or blah, blah, I could not resist, we make such a good pair, or that’s my soul mate talk, –whatever– the fact remains those affected sometimes can forgive but they can never forget. Such behavior have lifelong consequences be it emotionally or physical (separation or divorce). What the bum director did was selfish and wrong. Kristen is also wrong. Both parties can go on to live a different life even a seemingly ‘successful’ life (whatever that means), but it does not make cheating right — it never does.
@huh?: Oh plz. “Brangelina” was hardly ridiculed for their dirty affair. They were practically cheered on and given a gold medal! Angelia and Brad Pitt totally got away with it because apparently 1PrettyPerson + AnotherPrettyPerson=HOT/JUSTIFIED. I am in no way a Jen fan, in fact I can’t stand her ACTING, but to this day I am blown away by weird people bitchin’ at HER for TrampAlina’s HOMEWRECKING affair. Just because they’re good looking, don’t make it right! Sheesh.
‘LET HE AMONG YOU WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE’
What if all of you who are raggin on her were defined for a mistake that you made and apologized for?
You have NO right to voice or to call her names. Think very hard on this!!!
Oh my God.. could we be living in a more machist world??
Why is everybody only crucifying Kristen??
The director was the one who committed the biggest mistake, HE WAS the one who was married. Ok, she was with Rob, but they weren’t married, no kids.
I am no fan at all, but I am a girl, and it ALWAYS the woman who gets the fame. Think about Brad and Angelina. He was married, but she got the home wrecker fame. Just not fair.
Was she right? No.
Bu neither was he.
WE ALL COMMIT mistakes!!
I am beyond disgusted by Foster.. glamorizing Stewart’s behavior blaming the media for her actions? Nice PR move to try to shift the blame on something/anything else. I have absolutely NO respect for her anymore. She should be ashamed of herself, she’s a parent..I will never understand these “actors” on & on about how tough their lives are in the public eye.. listen up m o r o n s .. don’t like the lifestyle & what it entails DONT ACT ANYMORE!
Yeah, but this post is about Jodie’s take on Kristen and how all must feel sorry for her!
very hard to take anything this woman says seriously when she defends people like Mel Gibson & Roman Polanski a known rapist & racist & now she’s added an adultery to the list.
Noone is blaming Kristen solely. I have yet to read one single comment that explicitly states that Kristen is the only person to blame. When the douchebag director was on justjared, people commented on his betrayal as well and his name is always mentioned in some capacity on posts here. It takes two to cheat when both parties are aware that the other or at least one party is not single.
The director is an careless, aging d*ckhead who still has not learned how to keep his little wee-wee in his pants, so forget about learning to keep things professional. And Kristen, well she is the friend who hope you do not have in your circle. She will smile in your face, play with your dogs and children 9and will probably come to family functions) and still have the temerity to stab you in the back.
Jodie’s comments are misplaced and insensitive. She should have not said nothing at all or opt for no comment because it’s not Jodie’s battle to fight, so I’m convinced she wanted to make a few headlines.
@GMAFB: In my neck of the woods, Angelina was viewed as a sl*t. Noone in Hollywood wanted their husbands around the her because it was believed that Angelina was easy and out for the hunt regardless of relationship status. I know how I feel about her and Brad and I’ll leave it at that. Some people try to revamp their image by donating to a trillion causes and acting domesticated, but the fact remains Angelina/Brad’s actions were wrong. Period. Their looks are completely irrelevant to me. Surely the general media tried to portray things in whatever which-way… but who cares. I form my own opinions.
We ALL make mistakes and do things we are not proud of but most of us are lucky enough that no one finds out about them and we dont have to go through what is happening to Kristen now. Not even a fan of hers but give her a break. Sad to hear Jodie Fosters comments on being an actor at this time and how she would not even want to give it a try. They always say never be an actor for the money or fame but only if you really want it above all else.
Frankly, I think Jodie overdid it…just as much as the ones that find pleasure in trashing Kristen over do it too. There was no need to turn Kristen into a martyr nor play the pity card.
All those criticizing Ms. Stewart: Its none of your f’ing business!
Celebrities are so odd. They feed the very same media they condemn… Bordeline delusional, some of them.
whats new w/ this… when Jodi even defended Roman Polanski; a ^child rapist^… so whats more ifs a ^cheating homewrecker^?!
Kind of a redundant speech, think everyone will leave Kristen alone.
Celebrities condemn and praise whenever convenient, rather self-serving, contradictory, and delusional. Foster should have kept her mouth shut. There are real people, a real family involved. No comment would have sufficed. As for Kristen and the director, well their actions speaks for themselves–very sneaky, deceiving, selfish, and untrustworthy–. I suppose now they will attach themselves to a thousand charities so that they may look sympathetic– whatever I’m over her and the douche and they still give me narcissistic vibes.
Im so sick and tired of hearing how all these Hollywood people are regular people. Guess what regular people dont have millions of dollars in their bank accounts.If Kristen Stewart wants to be a regular person then quit acting and work a 9 to 5 job.
i do think people should stop hating kristen so much because the worst thing that could’ve happened to her already happened — she lost rob. but this jodie foster chick sounds seriously dramatic haha
never realized it but even her personality aside, kristen stewart has a very boyish face. i saw a pic of one of the broadway stars who plays Peter Parker in the Spider-man broadway show…. omg. him and kristen have the same exact face- and trust me it only looks good on him
@Tough:
Yes but everybody makes mistakes. I find it hilarious that America, which has such a high divorce rate and people sleeping left, right and centre, should take such a moral high ground over such an affair. Give me a break.
@Lil:
Oh please. Jodie Foster is a great actress in her own right. She doesn’t need losers like you to talk about her in order for her to be famous. What she says is true. It really is none of our business, what goes on with Kristen and the others. Don’t tell me that you have done nothing wrong in your life?
If you were married, you wouldn’t want your husband cheating, if you knew a girl, good enough to be on friendly terms, you wouldn’t want her to be the one that your husband cheats on you on. If your children knew the woman, you would be even more devastated because you would feel that they even deceived your own kids. Both cheats are cowards, careless, and sk*anky. The people who can smile in your face and put up a “I’m so sweet facade” are the worst types. At least some people you know exactly what you are going to get from them, for better or worst. That said, Foster, please do not attempt to pull the covers over my eyes any longer. Kristen’s actions speak for themselves. If it happened to you and your family Foster, you’d be out of the limelight trying to recover, you’d be broken, you’d be upset, you’d be hurt, you’d be embarrassed, you’d feel betrayed and you’d carry those feelings around for a very long time deep down. You’d be judging your cheating husband including the ska*nk you never thought twice about.
the only people i fell bad for is Liberty and the kids…no sympathy for anyone else
Didn’t the guy who played Carlisle cheat on his wife?
That’s two twilight people.
@Tough: thank you!! i use to respect jodie foster a lot more before this. I can’t justify ruining children’s lives. If it effected her kids i wonder if she’d be as sympathetic? i doubt it. I hate people who try to justify cheating and say it’s just a mistake. bullsh*t. if you’re a grown women you should be fully conscious of what you’re doing. And she knew that doing it in a car would get publicity. use a fu*cking hotel.
The media did not cause Kristen to stray just like the media did not cause the director to cheat on his wife and cheat his children! Both cheats knew they were public figures and knew the relationship status of one another. Both were irresponsible and slu*tty at worst. When stuff hits the fan, all these celebrities want to shout “leave me alone” well, how about you not sleep with a married man with children! How about you stay faithful to your wife and children instead of being a sleazy director, who is looking shamelessly for a hole to stick your crooked, little pole!
I hate kristen stewart…
@dana:
dana is a a psycho who posts under my nick. too stupid to invent a name for yoursefl, right?
@dana – the real one: wow f*ck off. you are not the only one in this world with that name. i rarely come back after posting, but of course the one time i do, i see that some ******* replied to me.
@ss
where the fuc.k did i say she has no talent. she just need attention. smell the PR. she doesnt need loser fan like you to stand up for her either. she can stand on her own. she just said too much there. better kept it shut or say no comments.
she forgot who is realy suffering here. the kids and the wife. she is just cleaning up kristens shi.t.
for what.
@dana:
At least you could have put capital D or something, but NOO you copy even the way I write it. The sh*** that comes out of your dirty mouth and you post it here shows you are a loony. Do not steel my identity and do not post crap under my nick!!!
What surprise me the more in this whole story is that ALL the Kstew haters are like sooo pleased by her mistake… She a cheater blablabla. BUT when it comes to other couples who where mistress/husband they are just “so cute with their new big family”….
What a blast of hypocritical morals is going on here. Leave the girl alone! It is human to make (huge) mistakes. There are wars and children being massacred and killed right now by other human beings. That, yes, is a reason for horror. She has learned her lesson. Let her continue her life and career in peace now. And BTW, the 41 year old MAN should be the hated one, not the girl who could be his daughter! What a sad misogynistic world!
@Kirsten: i know i will get thumbs down cos anyone who says anything to support kristen does.i don’t agree with what she did but people need to realise it was just a kiss.jodie is just telling people to leave her alone cos all of you slamming kristen are not saints(delusional if you think you are).there are many people who probably go on holiday with their friends and cheat on their partner but never tell them( they just are not followed everywhere by the media)
Please people Jodie Foster should just leave it alone and mind her business, she just wanted some headlines!! As far as Kristen Stewart, she’s a little tramp who should suffer the consequences of her actions as well as the married man, they both should be responsible. Jodie shouldn’t be trying to clean up Kristen’s mess, she’s not five you know?
@wow…: why do people keep saying she slept with him.how would you feel if people went spreading rumours around that you slept with someone when you didn’t.hopefully that never happens anyone who is criticising her but you know what they say karma’s a b***h.to be clear i’m not defending her,just think people should leave her alone to move on with her life
My daughter is called Jodie after this woman who is the greatest actress of ALL time. She evokes emotional responses me I have never felt in any other film.
And if she’s on Kristen’s side, Kristen Stewart is a lucky and good human being. Fact.
OH COME ON! Stop making excuses for her. She’s a grown woman who made a mistake. We all have to go through stuff in life, and so far Kristen seems to have had a pretty damn lucky life. She’ll survive and not only that. Learn and grow and make this part of her LIFE EXPERIENCE. Fact is she made a mistake. We all do. And she has to live with the consequences. Like we all do. I’ve been through worse.
are people STILL saying ‘leave her alone – mind your own business. bla bla wa wah’?? seriously?? she did it in a car. a C-A-R~ and she knew exactly what she was doing. what is a mistake exactly (for the idiots who call cheating something as simple as a mistake): carelessness – is cheating carelessness? fu8ck no, its destructive & unforgivable !! — isn’t one of his kids 9? what happens when he goes back 2 school and has to hear about it? it’s so incredibly cruel and selfish. I mean she must have met the kids on set, right? how can u justify it to yourself that you’re doing nothing wrong? ugh.. they both need to find another planet to live on. i hear Pluto’s available.
I am not defending KS, but it takes 2 hands to clap. Why is she taking the brunt of all the blame. As much as she has done wrong, what right has that guy did? If she seduced him, IF she did, not saying she did, he succumbed to it, the thought of his family did not pass through his mind ? As much as KS did wrong, how about that fella? She’s young and we all do make mistakes, don’t we. Have you not heard of a friend cheating on their spouse, it’s becoming a very common issue. Even in an asian country. Its just soo happens shes famous and they got caught.. How many do it and just that they dun get caught.. But soo what… She did wrong she admitted to it.. Move on people… Quit harping on something that does not concern you
@dana: good luck – someone has been posting with mine and even imitating the way i write. it’s just fu*cking creepy. they’ll even leave a message straight after i post one – this site needs a better policy for morons hackers.
You guys are so sad. Like you all KNOW whats it like to be a celebrity???????????? Its hard work to get anywhere in Hollywood and you guys jump on a bandwagon when every other cheating scandal now doesn’t exist. Liberty is MILKING this. She’s NOBODY and now all smiles for the camera. Oh hide me due to low comment rating you absolute sad, dramatic wannabes.
Act in a top selling movie or win an Oscar. Or two. THEN have your say.
@Melanie: we only care about the kids idiot. so get ur head out of kristen stewarts as*s & wake up.
People judge Kirsten and claim her career is over. Meanwhile Chris Brown who beat a woman to a pulp continues to make million and gets to perform on the MTV awards.
We have failed as a society.
The victim fest continues. Poor Kristen, making millions of dollars while paps take her picture. Save the pity for her director’s two little kids who have to see those pics splashed all of the place. And for other actresses whose coveted roles she keeps “nabbing”. Glad Foster got Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwold to retweet it. No one else from the Breakfast Club knows how to use twitter I guess.
@lilz: definition of mistake: an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning etc
“Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.”
So true ! Of course Kristen maid a mistake but it doesn’t allow anyone to spill on her in the media like it happened.
She’s a TRAMPIRE!!!
Poor Kristen. She is just a young woman in the middle of those Hollywood games: lust and jealousy. If she were still with her old boyfriend, nobody would see her as an object of desire. But as Robert Pattinsons girlfriend, everybody must have her. I always consider, Rob and Kristen are so young, they can’t be together forever. Later or sooner they will be victims of Hollywood.
@–: Its up Jodie’s ass you sad f&*k
@–: ‘we only care about the kids” – which kids fool? Yours? Whose kids? Stop taking meths before typing.
@Melanie: u sad fu*ck? ahahhaaaaaaa… oh the comebacks.. so fun!
@Yo’:
ITA! I’m not a fan, but she’s young and has learned a very valuable lesson that no matter where you go in Hollywood, there are jerks with cameras waiting for one wrong move so they can sell their trash. ‘This too shall pass’. She played with something that didn’t belong to her and got burned. Hope she’s learned something by this experience.
@Melanie: her kids. the two children they have that understand whats going on. (And it’s METH dumbsh*t.)
At least this is consistent: she has already defended Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski, so why not continue in her career as indefensible’s defender with KStew ? The problem with KStew, dear Jodie, is not the media wicked with her, it’s just that her arrogance and ego is inversely proportional to her talent, that’s all.
@niagirl: How do you know he cheated before?
@–: Of course chop you would know wouldn’t you since you chat to them daily??? Back inside your bin. Leave lid on. And well done on your creative username and impressive spelling. WOW.
@–: Knowing how to spell the drug correctly makes you super duper human and oh so clever *cough/ vomit*
Thank you Jodie for defending Kristen. What she did was blown all out of proportion. She’s 22 years old. She made a mistake. We all have. Her boyfriend is understandably hurt. But, as for the rest of us, it’s none of our business.
@Melanie: yeah knowing how to spell is the worst problem a person can have, good job.
yesssssssssss, excelent, i love kristen
the problems with spoiled actors can all be solved with a dead end job at the factory
Foster has an opinion guys calm the ‘eff down. People are gonna agree or disagree.
I don’t hate her but after this cheating scandal, Kristen Stewart comes across as a very fake and self centered person. She courts the spotlight with all her Vogue, Elle, and Bazaar covers and photoshoots with Karl Lagerfeld and her involvement in pieces of crap like Snow White and the Huntsman, and then she turns around and says “I HATE THE MEDIA I DON’T WANT TO BE FAMOUS I JUST WANT TO AAAAAACT”. That’s not how it goes. Selling your image for a designer perfume isn’t acting. It’s a way to increase your fame and also sell yourself.
You know, I want to feel bad for her..but then I think of all those times in the past 4 years where she’s been interviewed and said I’m so real, I hate Hollywood, I’m not like that, I’m so honest, I have nothing to hide, I hate fake people, etc. I just can’t pitty her or her fake persona.
@GMAFB: OH NO, Huh is absolutely right. Brad And Angie were bashed quite a bit when their affair broke, and when Brad ended his marriage to Jennifer. Don’t you remember? I do!
Oh really? What about her boyfriend Rob Pattinson who is being chased by the paps NYC, been disrespected by them by shouting about the affair at his premieres etc, and journalists asking him about the affair? What about Rob being on every tabloid and newspaper ALONG with Kristen being humiliated even though he didn’t do anything? What about all those people asking him to sign those Us Weekly and People magazines at his premieres and junkets? It’s sad that everyone is trying to make Kristen out to be the victim when she isn’t.
43 years old Jennifer Aniston who stole Heidi Bivens’ 14 years old relationship boyfriend Justin Theroux, is less blamed than a 22 years old young girl, what a double standard!
Jodie honey you need to wake up from what ever land you’re in where cheating is okay. Let alone with a married man that has children! Kristen had no respect for the directors marriage or Rob and as sorry as she is, she’s done way too much damage to everyone around her and for what? She’s lost movie’s and the man she loves all for a man who didn’t have the balls to atleast divorce he’s wife before he went whoring himself around. Does Kristen think she’s the only one? ‘if he cheats with you, he will cheat on you’ I hope she knows that. Sure her life is private but what do you think is gonna happen when you get all touchy touchy with a MARRIED man in public! Is it me or was she looking at the paparazzi in some of those pics! Both of these women and that director have lost all my f*cking respect
@–: Amazing comeback. You astound me. Yawn.
@Lil:
It’s not about PR, it’s about defending a kid who obviously did something wrong but no one seems capable, humble or kind enough to give her a second chance. What she did was awful but that is not the only thing that is there to her. I hope she heals and moves on from all this mess.
so at what age are you considered a responsible adult? 30, 35, 40?
way to go Jodie Foster. She is definitely not saying that what Kristen did is okay. But the backlash the poor girl has received is really undeserved.
I definitely feel sorry for KStew now, I hope she’s doing okay
@djdog: Kristen did a crappy thing but that doesn’t make her a crappy person. It doesn’t erase all the years of good behavior she’s modeled and hard work. What we do doesn’t define us. Hate the behavior, not the person.
@…gross:
Jodie Foster came out as a lesbian awhile back. Highly doubtful she’ll ever have a husband. That said, I agree with your comment.
Anyone who thinks Rob dumped the trampire because of a kiss is as delusional as they come. Anyone who thinks the wife wants the director away from Kristen solely because of a kiss is more delusional. These two cheats were messing around for awhile. I’m sure there are texts, phone records, credit card trails, even hotel stays. The whole truth is much worse. If it were not, this would have blown over. The version you have received is designed to help ease the blow to these careless, shameless tr*mps.
Nice try, Foster. But to make Kristen a victim is not really fair. The number one thing you should learn when you are in a long term relationship: Controll yourselves!
Of course sometimes you will fall in love or feel attracted to someone else! But it will fade away… Just be willing to fight it! If your boyfriend is not worth to fight this, you are not worth your boyfriend.
Jodie must have smoked something that morning to even bother to comment at all. I mean even the parties involved do not want to comment. If only Kristen and the slimeball director kept things professional, as opposed to sl*utty. Some people have the never to act like they are better than the universe and all of a sudden they want privacy–well, don’t go around messing with a married man with children, don’t go around sleeping with your cast members when you are married!
Girl please….
Oh, lookie. All the people drooling after Robert Pattinson have been let out of their wards. *sigh*
Twisted delusions of twisted minds.
It’s not like Pattinson never did aaaanything wrong…. He’s not as innocent as he seems.
So let me get this straight, Kristen is the “victim” in all this, “poor me the media is out to get me” speech. Well, I have two words for you Foster, “S*uck it! What about the children and the wife… next time just be quiet. You need to teach Kristen a thing or two about self-respect because she clearly does not respect anyone else anyway and acts like she’s a gift to us ‘little people’, as we are clearly below her and she is above Hollywood and Planet Earth.
@Oh Pls:
You really are stupid. A felony is different than a stupid cheating scandal. Grow up you assumptive twat. The point is cheat doesn’t physically harm anyone in most cases so while people are condeming her they need to reevaluate. Did you read my comment. When did I say cheating was ok? I didn’t fail. Neither did Jodie. The point is give respect. Your ass has probably done questionable things and yet you would expect forgiveness and even respect right. STFU
I could never leave her alone after what she did. Ew this man was like 45 years older than her and HE WAS MARRIED WITH 2 kids!!!! No i don’t forgive her that is just nasty and WRONGGGGGGG!
Does it occur to anyone else Jodie Foster gets “publicity” whether positive or negative, its the attention she wants, it gets you talking about HER and that is what both these glory whores want. Especially Foster, nobody cares about her career any more. Thats why she’s gotten involved in the Mel thingy, she made it her “thing”. Publicity – as if I actually had any respect for either of them! You do not go around breaking up families-its not all about you Kristen. Or you Foster, especially you, no normal friends eh? The three amigos, makes me wonder why Fostere yells so loudly about others, what went on that shes done – whats she hiding????????
@Le:
because the article was about Foster sticking up for these losers who clearly have no morality. Most people are truly aware Rupert is beyond an idiot, he shouldnt even have done it.! How do you repair what was done to those kids? Too much of this going on now, there are quite a few people with morals still. Its just hard to tell sometimes. I think thats why everybodys blah blahing about her, I think she knew it was going to come out and she got to it first to try to seem like he was remorseful, clearly shes not really. People will get to Rupert,hes iding from it, just like the cheating coward he is!
I’m Latin and I am shocked by the morality of the American people. This girl was wrong yes. But she was not alone. Why throw stones just about it. Betrayal may be wrong, but always going to happen. In my country people look more naturally. And are less macho. The United States Can Be an Economic Power, by the way in crisis. But morality is stupid and backward.
Sorry for my English.
Jodie is wonderful and may know the whole the truth about this and that is why she is given us her two cents, but…..
I like to throw something out there and see if some of you agree with it or not.
Both Rob and Kristen were virtually unknown before the Twilight movies. Their fan base were obsessed if they were a couple or not. The studio, producers et al saw great potential of this money making scenario. So they fabricated a “romance” when nothing existed. The movies made millions and everyone was HAPPY. I have read numerous tidbits of Rob’s peccadillo’s with a “multitude” of starlets and various actresses. Now that the Twilight Trilogy is over so is the fabricated romance. Due the the fan base, it needed to be done in a exaggerated way, hence Rupert another unknown. Rob, needs to concentrate in his burgeoning career. Kristen, according to Forbes, the highest paid actor and she will get bigger due to this. The more she plays the “poor me” card she will win and cash in. The public have very short memory and all will be forgotten and forgiven. As far as Liberty, how many times has this Rupert guy has done this under the radar and after all we, the public, have no idea if this “affair” was consummated or not. Liberty needs to stay away until the dust settles before she returns. Not so far fetched, money is money and these people do not have a moral compass. Just a thought.
Her essay targets the media vultures and how they rip lives of those on the spotlight with lies and baseless information. She is being a good friend like all of us would be too if any of our friends were thrown to the lions den. The essay did not indicate in any way that Kristen’s cheating was an okay thing. I am disappointed at Kristen for her mistake however I will not trash talk her because she has already suffered so much and was brave enough to accept her wrongdoing and blamed only herself and no one else for her wrongdoing.
Enough of the negativity. Jodie is right that the media should stop spreading and printing lies about and destroying lives of those in the entertainment industry. Enough of being so judgmental about Kristen’s wrongdoing. Yes Kristen made a big mistake and is in hiding not just because of her own personal pain but because this unfortunate incident caused so much hurt and pain to Rob and Liberty. It’s nobody’s business but her business to work through her pain and learn hard lessons from it and hopefully help her become a better person.
@Lizzie: Funny how she’s using the media to target the…well…media, right? (See the problem here?)
Its time to leave Kristen and Robert alone to work on their issues. Nobody has the right to destroy them and hurt them more. I think Jodie is brave to write strong words to defend Kristen from the unforgiving and righteous media and those of us who have judged her. Kristen you are lucky to have a great and unconditional friend in Jodie.
The sexist thinking, This director is a man, who knew the power and use it to get along.
She is not alone to blame, people talk as if he were the victim and she the only villain.
The Kris has not done the right thing, but the witch is not the time.
foster needs to shut her trap… “we build up these young people just to tear them down” – really. shift the blame, why don’t you. no one tore down this sl*t, she did that to herself the minute she tore off her g-string for a married man and got owned doing it.
please. spade’s a spade.
@Mark: I think people need to move on, yes. However, writing a self-righteous essay on the “woes” of celebrity seems a like an odd way to go about it.
Girls, Girls, your lack of cultural history is appalling! Listen here:
Once, upon a Time, Jodie Foster was an accomplished and studious child actress when she chose to put her career on hold to attend Yale. Unfortunately, through her choice of often precocious roles, she attracted the attention of a rabid fan who decided the best way to prove his love for her was to try and kill the President of the United States – the fan did shoot the president and he greiviously wounded an aide as well in his botched assasination attempt. This is a fact – look it up for yourselves!
Here was a young girl verging on adulthood just trying to go to school and have a normal collegiate life studying literature and suddenly she is thrust into surreal global noteriety because of a madfan’s obsession with her role in Taxi Driver. This is a fact – it’s scary, sometimes even deadly when there are fans or even haters who confuse fantasy with reality to such a degree.
Foster didn’t do a lot of acting during these years. It was difficult to deal with the press and the public attention at times and of course, soon enough, the pressure resulted in being detained at an airport and being charged for cocaine possesion on the way back to college. Another round of unwanted attention and reliving the nightmare of that awful event no one ever thought would be forgotten 31 years later.
You girls (and home schooling mothers who should be minding your children not posting on message boards) condemn the words of a life long Academy Award winning Actress / Writer/ Director/ Mother/ Daughter/Friend who protects her privacy because a crazy man tried to kill the President of the United States to impress her? A crazy man who is still alive and has off-ground priviledges?
You condemn her for standing up for Kristen Stewart (not to mention two of her other coworker/friends) when she is writing of how she has literally walked in Kristen’s shoes? When she is trying to express to you how it feels to be on the other end of the media spectrum. The individual circumstances for both actresses may be different but the press, the feeding frenzy and their feelings of loss of control, shame and fear are the same.
You think Jodie Foster should shut up because you knownothings know better as you rip her apart in your sparkling ignorance for being nothing less than a loyal friend and colleague? I bet you call yourselves Christians too.
.
@vera: There’s more than one factor here. I think it seems like Kristen is getting the worse part of it because Kristen is the most popular of the two. She had an incredibly passionate fan base behind her. The sense of “personal betrayal” (as ridiculous as it sounds) comes from the emotional connection people had make with her as a person and as an actor. Those ties didn’t exist with Rupert.
It’s a twisted thing, no doubt. But it’s not that people don’t blame Rupert for his actions, it’s just that people weren’t emotionally invested in him as they were with Kristen. The public can bring you up as fast as they can bring you down. Things will settle down eventually. It’s the nature of things.
Genuine , sincere friends are hard to find especially in Hollywood when there’s so much superficiality and most are just concerned about their own careers and their star power in the business. I’m glad Kristen has Jodie to stand up on her defense against the ruthless media. Being down sometimes is just part of life Kristen. Learn from your mistakes and pick yourself up again.
Jodie Foster I’ve sure gave Stewart support in private. What she has written for the public wasn’t necessary. Foster will never change public perception and her ‘letter’ seems only to have acerbated the public condemnation of Stewart, and rehash old stories of her infidelity to her own partner. .
-
I don’t think she was making excuses for Stewart, she was only stating how hard it is to live in the public eye. This is something she wish Stewart hadn’t chosen to do ( become an actress) and something apparently her mother hadn’t wanted for her either. Young people in Hollywood can be destroyed by something like this, but that’s the price you pay. People aren’t going to give Stewart slack because of her age.
-
The reason she’s taking most of the flack is simply, people tend to condemn the woman more than the man. Look at the numerous celebrity affairs, who got called all types of dirty names, the least of it being homeworker, the women. They’ll give a sidebar to the man being responsible too, but they won’t go on for weeks, months, years contemning him in the most severe terms.
-
To those thinking this affair was a publicity stunt, get real. Who risks wrecking a marriage and the lives of children for a publicity stunt? If there is someone cold enough to do that, they don’t need sympathy, they need a come to Jesus moment.
@porquenon: If it wasn’t for your patronizing, disrespectful tone, I would have actually liked your comment…for the most part…
KRISTEN – you are a home wrecker.. Rob deserves SO MUCH better. You are a wash up.
@niagirl: Well, it looks like “95%” of the posters here disagree with you sooooooooooooo…..SHUT. the F. UP. You’re outnumbered #*****
I’m glad Kristen got found out by the media. I hope her career survives, but Kristen was going around saying people in the industry were “fake” etc etc, after dallying with her married director. That is so hypocritical. I’m glad the truth could eventually come out, rather than the facade continuing.
I support Jodie on this one. It’s true that Kristen committed a wrongdoing and jeopardized her relationship with Robert, but trash talking her doesn’t change anything at all. She made a mistake and just like the rest of us in this world, she’s not perfect. We all make mistakes, and it is all too easy to label her whatever names you’ve called her. That doesn’t make you a righteous peron either. So instead of getting all worked -up and angry , do something positive about it , like by just keeping your quick judgments to yourselves .
Thanks Jodie for supporting Kristen during this difficult time.
Kudos to Jodie for being a great friend to Kristen. And yes it’s true that the media went to far on this . A lot of you have talked aboutt Kristen’s faults, misdeeds, “negative” qualities in your posts. In the end you think you feel good because you think you’re the best person in the world. We all mistakenly think that if others like Kristen are wrong, bad, fault-ridden, then in comparison you might be right, good, and capable. Does this strategy of putting another person down to build up your own self-esteem work? Hardly.
Leave Kristen alone to work on forgiving herself and picking herself up from her fall.
Kristen has no respect for someone else’s family nor does the director for his own family. Above all else, Kristen has no self-respect and that’s pretty sad. In a car Kristen with Rob’s hat on? Driving around looking for a secluded spot? You knew exactly what you were doing and you looked completely at ease on your sk*anky rendezvous. Foster, talk to Kristen about self-respect in private, not how the media is blah, blah, blah in public because the media did not ask or pressure Kristen to mess around with a married man with two kids!
… it was like your defending the older sister of Damien – from the movie ‘D’ Omen’!
To those on the front page who don’t seem to know….Jodie Foster is a Lesbian who came out of the closet yrs ago. She has two kids via surrogate. Def not dissing her..just explaining the truth.
And Yes..JF should of kept her mouth shut,since it involved a marriage/kids and a long term relationship. Kristen deserves some cr ap to come her way,since she always acting above it all and claimed she disliked Fake people LOL
… just SHUT UP, you two freaking ceLESBIANS!!!
http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/16/kristen-stewart-pissed-fall-guy-rupert-sanders-robert-pattinson/3/#comments-anchor
First she defends a racist loser,then a disgusting child molester and now a pathetic cheater…what’s next,Jodie? Kristen Stewart was the one who cheated on her BF with a married tool but somehow its not her fault AT ALL..yeah right *eyeroll*
@porquenon: Well written and bravo. The kids on here don’t see Jodie the actress who won 2 Oscars and has been around double the time these kids have been alive. Your comment was mature, thoughtful and you remembered Jodie for Jodie, not a new person to attack. She defended Mel Gibson because, like Stewart never got a chance to straighten things out because of public hysteria. Never missed a Gibson film in my life and grew up with him on my screen. Jodie’s a voice that’s not afraid to go against the grain and she’s been here way longer than any other actor on this site. porquenon you made my day.
Looove Jodie more !
Agreed. The amount of hate Kristen is getting is ridiculous. She may as well have killed someone.
And Sanders has hardly got a mention. Sexism? Sl*t shaming? I think so.
I don’t condone cheating but for goodness sake, this is her PRIVATE life. It shouldn’t have to affect her entire career because of one mistake.
Unlike Chris Brown- the world needs to know that he is dangerous.
@yesiam: You have to understand it first to find it patronizing.
When you judge another person, you do not define them. YOU DEFINE YOURSELF. Meaning whenever you are judging somebody you are judging yourself also; if you say bad things about somebody you are saying bad things about yourself also. No one is perfect. Kristen is not perfect. Like us , she has her set of weakness and faults. But who are we to judge?
We may burn someone with an acid tongue because of the rage and fear inside ourselves. But if we were more comfortable with our inner demons we wouldn’t see her or others who have made mistakes so demonically.
How about you tell Kristen to leave married men alone, Foster? How about you tell that slimy married director to leave his cast members alone?
Kristen’s honest acceptance of her mistake wrongdoing transgression or whatever else you want to call it, is an honorable rather than shameful act. Enough of criticizing her, leave her alone so she can work on healing her relationship with herself, her family, and Robert .
@Jen “Kristen’s honest acceptance of her mistake wrongdoing transgression or whatever else you want to call it, is an honorable rather than shameful act.” <-Umm she had no other choice because the pics were all over the net.
@A: She had a choice – either to stay mum about it like most of other celebrities who have committed wrongdoings or to apologize for it. And she made a choice to apologize for her actions despite knowing people will criticize her.
there is never an excuse to have a knowing affair with a married man with children. Sorry. There is never an excuse for cheating on your wife with whom you have children with. Sorry. There is never an excuse to be a sl*ut or a douchy-cheating husband. f you do not like your significant other, break up and find someone else-
The tabloids need to stop spreading and printing lies about Kristen. People should stop judging her. This incident is not a matter of public concern. It is a private matter and for all parties involved to pick up the pieces and heal from this, the media and general public should leave them alone. Jodie is being a good friend and her essay is directed to how the media can be so exploitive and adding more hurt and pain to the situation.
Just read the article by Jeffrey Scott Shapiro in fox news. What a great article for everyone to read. Kudos to him and to Jodie Foster for writing in defense of Kristen.
@Melanie: I did understand it…which is why I found it patronizing. e.g “Girls girls”? “knownothings”? Other than that, as I said, the person who made the post had valid points. I just didn’t care much for the tone in which it was written. I’m not a teenager nor I am a “home schooling mom who should be minding your children not posting on message boards”. I know how to state my opinion without being disrespectful and condescending.
@Kellie: The public apology was a complete PR move: damage control.
But I feel that it harmed her more than it did her good. With that statement, Kristen (or her PR team) validated the scandal while bringing a new private matter (the apology) into the public hands… through a tabloid magazine, a magazine just like the ones that published the photos. It goes against everything she was about!
Not only does her apology could have remain private, but Robert Pattinson doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would appreciate a public apology. At all.
What’s done is done. It’s time to end this continued coverage by the tabloids which is just ruining the chances of everyone hurt by this scandal to move past this. It’s cruel to crucify Kristen as she has accepted her bad judgment and for Rupert to get off the hook when he was also the other responsible party. Kristen has paid the price many times over. She has to be given a chance to work on forgiving herself, whatever issues she may have, and hopefully work on becoming a better partner someday.
@Timothy: Rupert is not getting off the hook at all. Kristen is more well known, and has many fans that are disappointed in her, and this will blow over soon, but maybe not soon enough.
Rupert is the one with a marriage and kids. He should of known better and, also not excusing Kristen, but there are consequences to actions.
Your right about the media. They keep stirring things up all the time. They want to keep this going as long as it can. With today’s technology they can. The internet, smart phones, etc. This is a wake up call for the stars. Behave or get caught.
“Lift up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams. ”
She would have stayed on top if she’d only kept her legs closed, Ms. Foster. This is no one’s fault but Kristen’s. Age is irrelevant. She made her choice!!! And that choice was to f.ck a MARRIED man twice her age whom wife & kids she knew! So STOP making excuses for this Trampire and blaming the media for her actions. No one FORCED her to sleep with that director! She brought all this hate to herself.
And to Kristen, you’re a f.cking hypocrite, doll. “I hate being a celebrity”, “I’m real”, “I have nothing to hide”, “I hate fake people”. Well guess what, hon. EVERYONE knows you’re the phoniest b!tch in Hollywood now. I don’t feel sorry for you at all, my dear. You had everything. But it just wasn’t enough, was it? You had to act like you were gods gift to Hollywood. Everyone else from the Twilight saga managed to stay humble & level-headed, but no- not you. Because thought everyone else was beneath you. Well, i’m pretty sure your career is over. And thank god for that!
And to the people supporting or defending what Kristen did and making her look like the victim – 5 words: Liberty Ross and her kids. These people are the true victim and you should give them your sympathy. Not to that two-timing trampire.
@CH:
I agree with you and Timothy that the tabloid press has gone too far on their negative coverage of Ms. Stewart that is probably destroying her life as well as hurting her family right now. Everybody is getting all worked-up and angry including the fans. This negativity is just not helping anyone hurting from this incident especially Ms. Stewart and Mr. Pattinson. They need to be left alone to deal with what happened in private because really it is a private matter and not a matter of public interest that requires extensive tabloid coverage. That’s what’s wrong with the media now more than ever because of their irresponsible reporting.
“yesiam@Melanie: I did understand it…which is why I found it patronizing. e.g “Girls girls”? “knownothings”? Other than that, as I said, the person who made the post had valid points.

You left out scornful and derisive. And you don’t need to care for my tone. I stand by every word I wrote, particularly the bit about “home schooling moms who should be minding your children not posting on message boards.”
Anyone posting here who doesn’t know that Jodie Foster was the unwitting “female lead” in one of the most dramatic moments in American history in the past 35 years, deserves to be spoken down to, particularly if they are mothers who write and sound like immature teenagers when condemning a 22 year old woman and the 50 year old woman who stood up for her and who knows of what she speaks – unlike the ill-informed hysterics here who are posting ignorant and rather hateful comments about Jodie Foster for standing up for a friend(s), not to mention the dreadful epithets being hurled at Kristen Stewart for being, well, 22.
And if any of you who are posting these nasty comments about these two women are stay at home moms, you have better things to do. Stop goofing off on the web and go spend time with your children. Read to your little Jacob, Bella, Edward, etc. instead of putting them in front of the tv or handing them off to grandma or handing them your iphone instead of a picture book while on your lap so they won’t bother you while you turn your back and escape into your mortal kombat fandom fantasies ignoring, not only your children, but the facts of history just a google search away.
