Kristen Stewart Says She Was Discouraged From Spending Time With Her Girlfriend In Public

Kristen Stewart is getting real about her relationships and the hardships she's faced while working in Hollywood because of them.


Speaking to the British Harper's Bazaar, Stewart talked on her decision with ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson while in the height of Twilight's popularity not to discuss their relationship with the press.


whenever me and Rob were with each other, we didn't have an example to go by," she mentioned. "So much was taken from us that, in attempting to control one aspect, we were just like, 'No, we'll never talk about it. Never. Because it's ours.'"


As a result, Stewart has been doing her best to appreciate her life, which "took precedence" over "protecting" her life. As she explains, protecting it ended up ruining things for her – "like, what, you can't go outdoors with who you're with?" She questioned.


"I was informed by an old school mentality, which is -- you wish to maintain your career and your success and your efficiency, and there really are people in the world who don't like you, and so they don't like that you date females, and so they don't like that you don't identify as a quote unquote 'lesbian,' although you also don't identify as a quote unquote 'heterosexual.' And people like to know stuff, so what the fuck are you?'" Asked Kristen. She asserted that it's not a question that she has to answer (she dislikes labels) and that being authentically yourself in Hollywood does come with a dark side.


"I have completely been told, 'If you just like do yourself a favor, and don't go out holding your girlfriend's hand in public, you could get a Marvel movie,'" she mentioned. "I don't aspire to work with people like that." Kristen's been doing just fine for herself, as she says life keeps it up and continues to get easier the older she gets.
