Kristen Stewart: Fame Is "Like Being Raped"
Kristen Stewart says she sometimes can't handle being famous -- and that it's almost like being "raped."
"What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction," she tells the new issue of Britain's Elle. "The photos are so... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped.

"A lot of the time I can’t handle it," she added. "It’s f***ed. I never expected that this would be my life."
She said it "really bothers me when people write nasty s*** about me and the perception is that I don’t give a f***. It could not be further from the truth."

She also said it's "annoying" when she's relentlessly asked if she and costar Robert Pattinson are an item.
Said Stewart, 20: "What I say is, that, why would I want anything that's private to become entertainment for other people? ... People say that if I just tell them everything I’ll be left alone, but God, you think if I tell people they’ll leave me alone? They pick up every little scrap, and that’s much worse."

Tell Us What You Think
198I think she's rude and ungrateful. Once Twilight is over, I think people will forget about her. Easy come, easy go.
okay, so I'm commenting like 2 months late on this, but for f*** sake, being famous doesn't mean that she can be violated like that. How would you like it if people were screaming YOUR name, insulting YOU because of who you are and what you say?? And she is NOT being ungrateful, she's being honest. Is it not okay to express your opinion anymore?
Well, well- things have changed. We are following the boys for how they look, and actually listening to the girls! At least there's that. I like Kristen and not a "fair weather" fan.
Kristen Stewart is a spoiled brat! She is 20yrs.old and complaining about the cons of being rich and famous. If it such a bother, go home, and work at McDonald's. Does she not realize that the majority of her fans are teenage girls However, in her interviews, she continues to use foul language, more than not.Great role model! Here's a thought for Ms. Stewart. When you are so ignorant that you can't speak intelligible words, you fill in the blanks with...? You are a true inspiration!!!
Oh come on! it's metaphoric. everyone knows the usw of it,right? or are you also attacking people who say "love is war/a battlefield", because in war people are dying and it's terrible? no.nobody does. rape is appalling and destructive - but if "fame"(hystery) destroys her emotional why isn't she allowed to use metaphors? Ok - some say "if you choose a acting career you should expect that" and I DON'T think that a 2year chase is what one should expect. seriously. it's not normal fame what she has - it's a gigantic mega hype which is out of control. why are all people so perverted about blaming her for things.
i personally think there may be something wrong with what she said but people have said much worse
ok.... this is insane. I understand that the paparazzi are everywhere all the time and yeah it's a little much. but it's not like that's a news flash. she knew what she was getting into when she decided to be an actress. either suck it up and deal or quit..... i don't think anyone is gonna miss you. just finish twilight ha-ha
Kristen is the new Britney. LMAO!! leave Britney, I mean Kristen alone. On a serious side, she needs to accept that part of her job is having pictures being taken. If she can't handle it then she should quit and do community theater or go to college. She comes across as ignorant,cold and uneducated.
shes rite, why is tht when a camra is shoved in her face nobody cares, but when she tells them to hop off everyone is mad. She is a living human being so she needs her space which shes not able to get, shes just like us so why are we goin CRAZY!!!!!
Kristen is ungrateful and bipolar. She'll be saying that if it weren't for the fans, I wouldn't be where I am and all that crap. But then she'll lash out about this and talk s*** about her fans. Haha what a b****. I really still can't believe people like her. If it weren't for Twilight, she'd be GONE.
LEAVE KRISTEEEN ALONEEEEEEE. LEAVE HER ALONEE!!How fuking dare anyone out there make fun of KRISTEN after all she has been through.! She lost her cat, she lost her pot stash. She had five fukin minutes to relax in that balcony. All you people care about isâ?¦.. readers and making money off of her. SHEâ??S A HUMAN! What you donâ??t realize is that Kristen is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of cr@p about her. She hasnâ??t promoted in 6 months. Her fans are called â??fiendersâ?? for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!. LEAVE HER ALONE! You are lucky she even took a shower and went to those fan events for you BASTARDS! LEAVE KRISTEN ALONE!â?¦..Please. Perez Hilton talked about professionalism and said if Kristen was a professional she wouldâ??ve pulled it off no matter what. Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time. Anyone that has a problem with her you deal with me, because she is not well right now.
she's ungrateful . if she hates the attention then why did she become a star ? she must be stupid if she thought that she would never gain haters , nasty comments , and attention .
Stewart apologized for using the word rape to describe her fame. I guess the pressure of not losing fans made her apologize...b/c why apologize if she stood for what was said. Famous or not, rape shouldn't be use to describe things like this. It's ridiculous.
Maybe Kristen Stewart is not famous enough, besides she is not cooll By the way I found a website that give you prizes for your opinions here is the topic about this: http://opinion.ezwingame.kom/topics/kristen-stewart-said-fame-is-like-being-raped
Maybe she should quit acting then, comes with the territory and she is making bank. How ungrateful for her to even say that. I hope all her fans boycott everything she does from this moment on.
Wow do everybody really this dumb.Read the dictionary.Did she say she was sexually assaulted?Her privacy was VIOLATED.Read the whole article before you judge.It's not because she's famous,she deserved to be treated like she need to take it or leave it.I want put you guys in her shoes.A lot of the celebrities/politicians used the word rape,but only Kristen was criticized.ELLE UK is standing by Kristen,because they know she didn't mean it that way.
Oh, what a heavy cross she bears...
Kristen just can't stop biting the hands that feed her, huh? B!tch and whine b!tch and moan moan...
She expects to have all of the glory and none of the bad stuff. Like you know having lame photographers taking a picture. This person is rude, classless, without grace and stupid.
Thats what happens when you become famous. What do you expect?
