Emma Watson is defending her friend, “Twilight Saga” star Kristen Stewart, saying her cheating scandal last summer held her to an unfair standard.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair Italia, the “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” actress came to the defense of Stewart, 22, who was caught up in a cheating scandal over the summer with her married “Snow White and the Snow” director. hunter”, Rupert Sanders.
“Those who criticized her are the same people who think that being rich and famous is like being covered in some kind of magic dust that makes life perfect: nothing can go wrong in your wonderful world,” Watson explained. “To these people, Kristen “deserves all the bad things that have been thrown at her because she had an amazing life and she ruined it.”
“I don’t know how to explain it, but it sure isn’t perfect,” the “Harry Potter” heroine continued. “I thought the media was picking on her in a very horrible way. Kristen is human, like everyone. “Everyone makes mistakes, everyone, it’s not fair to consider them matters of public interest.”
“On the one hand, I can understand why it happened: people felt really invested in her relationship with Robert Pattinson,” Watson explained. “But it’s also true that they have both done everything in their power to keep their relationship as far away from the public eye as possible.”
Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence shared a girls’ night out in November, which Stewart spoke fondly of.
“I think people assume that actresses don’t want to (be friends),” Stewart told MTV of their night of bonding. “To be honest, it was a great feeling. I thought, ‘This is just amazing.'”
Stewart has been hiding out in Los Angeles while her boyfriend Robert Pattinson was filming “The Rover” in Australia.
