It seems to me above and beyond the call of duty to put up with this kind of stuff. Though the story makes it out like some random person wrote on Kristen Stewart’s car, it was probably one of the photographers, hoping for a reaction. She barely reacts and it turns into a story anyway.
Why do they have to harass Kristen Stewart? They are hoping she’ll yell at them so they can sell the photos for a higher price. Sucks to be famous.
Yes I agree that they are stalking her and bulling her. Has anyone noticed how fast they found out that Rob Pattison was at her house. They were following him. No wonder he’s nervous, if any of this is true, which I’m in doubt of. None of Kristen or Robs people leek stuff to the tabs, if they did they wouldn’t be their friends very long. Let alone tell people what they discuss. BUT WHAT I’M GETTING AT IS HOW DID THEY GET A CLOSE-UP PICTURE OF ROB’S CAR?????????THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE WITHIN THE GATED COMMUNITY. THAT IS STALKING. If we believe these stories I guess we don’t have to worry anymore they seem to be over each other. I never dreamed I would use those words in their case.
Great post, keep up with the hard work, you
If she deserves punishment, she has already received it, from the person she loved very much. If Rob is through throwing insults at her, I think it’s time for us to stop also. The paparazzi what to keep up picking on her because they know she is broken. Rob even though you are done with her you should say something to these mad dogs before they hurt more than he mind, I don’t think you would want her to be physically injured by these mindless rats. You both loved each other. She still loves you. Look at her, look at the pictures. To the rest of you, who think her punishment should continue to go on forever. I hope your wishes turn back and happen to you.

She still drives a ratty old pick-up truck? Why?
Go morale is at this point in the XXI century, as if the judge, were Jesus reincarnated, like we’re safe, not to make a mistake in life. Sera that startedGo morale is at this point in the XXI century, as if the judge, were Jesus reincarnated, like we’re safe, not to make a mistake in life. Sera that began to remind Bill Clinton his “incident” with Monica L? We will give it to Mr. Tiger Woods remember his many lovers? As far as I know, this young, I took some pictures kissing his head, as in the fifteenth century, his own country, has wanted to crucify. Tabloids and papaz have crossed the line. It’s unbelieveable, like the American dream country, is exercised so degrading journalism, disrespectful, trangesor, the minimums of basic rights of a human being. I really admire this girl, having endured so much mud. Another young man, at least ends in suicide. It is also worrying, as women, have decided to harass and drag a woman, leaving the aggressor avsoluto judgment in this case and admitting multiple situations, the male gender as this. The PAPZ have the right to insult and hurt her, but she can not ANSWER
The point of contention isn’t what was written or pictures being taken. The point (which is clearly shown in the video) is these are two grown men who probably wrote this on her car and waited like stalkers for her to react to it. These guys are giggling and making fun of her and people think this is just “harmless trolling” ?
The finger-pointing and blame laying in these comments here make me nauseous. As if she’s justifiably being punished for something. I’m not surprised by the reactions here just resigned to the unfairness I suppose.
The are “six people” on this page who are all the same person.
Our regular readers can easily identify the split-personality imposter, but I’m tired of it.
You’re trying to give the impression of an angry mob when in fact you’re just one cranky crackpot. Stop it.
What are you ashamed of? Be yourself. Please pick one ID and stick to it.
Dragged him into it? They are both accountable for their actions, but not to us. People make mistakes and this is a very private matter that many people go through in their lives.
First Calvin Klein ads, and now this. I know this is not exactly the prime season for an Oscar blogger, but maybe AD should try to aim a bit higher than this?
Whatever it takes to prod you to comment.
Or else you might consider that other readers might be interested in things that you are not?
Well, a lot of people find gossip stuff interesting (and AD seems obsessed with K-Stew for some reason), that doesn’t mean that it meets valid criteria for serious journalism, though.
Many readers might feel otherwise, I respect that. They share their opinions on AD, I share mine.
I choose to comment whenever something strikes me as odd, intriguing, laughable, hostile, clever, wrong, you name it.
You seem to insinuate that I shouldn’t bother to post something if I don’t support the angling of the ongoing K-Stew saga (that’s the way I read that first sentence of yours, correct me, if I’m wrong)?
Dissent is a good thing, right? It is something that AD has thrived on – and to a certain point, exploited – in the past. Besides, let’s be realistic: Posting stuff about K-Stew only adds to the traffic on the site. Enough said.
I’m not interested in picking a fight with you, Ryan (even though it can be good fun, because you are, after all, very much worth picking fights with) I just don’t find it inappropriate to point out why AD should try to steer clear of turning into just another site for bringing up stuff that has very little to do with the art of filmmaking and more to do with E! Entertainment fodder.
Without wanting to sound too holier-than-thou: I care about this forum and I want it to remain special, for what it’s worth.
Ps. Where is Tero these days? (I miss his enthusiasm around here)
“AD seems obsessed with K-Stew for some reason”
Since the last time AD featured a post devoted to the tribulations of Kristen Stewart was August 15, 2012, let’s concede your threshold of tolerance for supporting Kristen Stewart is pretty low.
Jodie Foster Offers Support for Stewart, “Don’t let them take that away from you.”
I realize you’re as bored by Kristen Stewart as you are by AD’s support of David Fincher, but we’re not going to adjust our coverage to shield you from how we feel about either of them, ok?
If you were holding your breath since last August worrying if AD’s support for Kristen Stewart was a slippery slope leading to AD becoming TMZ.com them I hope you were able to exhale at some point over the past 11 months.
🙂
“You seem to insinuate that I shouldn’t bother to post if…”
Whoa. That was not my insinuation at all. I meant what I said without irony.
julian the emperor, we see you comment about once a week at the most. I wish you dropped in more often. I sincerely wish you would stop by and leave your impressions about one of the 50 other other topics we’ve covered in the past week. Most of them had a lot to do with your preferred focus — “the art of filmmaking.” Fine if you don’t feel compelled to contribute to those discussions. But yes, it does get my attention when the only time you comment all month long is to lament our standards two days in a row.
All the same, whenever you comment it lets us know you’re still around — and I’m glad about that.
You’re free to say you don’t appreciate every post. I’m only suggesting you please let us know if you ever appreciate any of the other 99% of AD content this month that doesn’t involve Kristen Stewart or David Fincher.
I can send you an email to warn you away if we ever plan to mention Panic Room.
I guess the stuff I don’t agree with stick out the most for me, because I generally enjoy the site. I’m usually on AD at least once every day, but I don’t feel compelled to comment on stuff all the time (except for when we are in the thick of the season). I think it is perfectly common human behavior to speak up when something doesn’t seem right rather than just post a “thank you for a great article” or “you are so right” every time you or Sasha write something I find true or inspiring. That would just breed complacency in you guys and we don’t want that, right?;)
And just to put the record straight (because, after all, it concerns the topic of filmmaking): I absolutely revere Fincher. Which is exactly why I chastise him.
Thanks for a nice, constructive reply.
…rather than just post a “thank you for a great article” or “you are so right” every time you or Sasha write something I find true or inspiring.
Who’s asking for that? I never expect that, ever.
“First Calvin Klein ads, and now this.”
I’ll have you know that Calvin Klein ad cured my cancer. Just as it was intended to do.
I know it’s your site and you can post about whatever you want, but I’m surprised you’d sink this low to even report on this. It’s not worth anybody’s time.
Paparazzi are scum of the earth, it’s largely the nature of the job. She doesn’t particularly get it worse than many.
lolz
Are you the same person who keeps commenting about her affair with that director? You seem like you need to drive it home that she is some kind of home wrecker in your opinion. In my opinion you are very juvenile commenting the same thing over and over. I remember seeing pics of a older man kissing her and her trying to push him off her. It was in the gossip mags, which everyone knows lie constantly.
Anyway she is the only actress I have ever seen get this much hatred by papz, media and the public for doing nothing. Besides what she does in her private life is no ones business but her own. It’s not for the public to judge, only her movies and that’s it. IMO
Her fans are so lame. She wasn’t trying to push him off, she turned her car around to go pick him up, and she was enjoying herself. If it had been anything else, she wouldn’t have issued a public apology, would she?

She doesn’t look unhappy to be there, does she?
LMAO at all the male usernames commenting negatively on this piece about Kristen Stewart. C’mon, you don’t have to pretend to be dudes to hide your overly invested, Kristen Stewart-hating, Robert Pattinson stan status. You can always spot one because they scour the internet looking for Kristen Stewart news so they can stink up the comment sections with their usual insults and opportunity to bring up her July 2012 cheating incident because they can’t stop humiliating her. Grown women (some old enough to be Kristen’s mother with daughters of their own that are Kristen’s age!) acting like middle school mean girls. Now that is sad and disturbing.
One more incident that Kristen will…again…rise above. Cockroaches always scatter when the light shines on them -> so a fan was blamed for the writing on her truck. Believe what you see, not what the media puts in the captions. Here’s what I see: A focused young woman who works hard, cares about making interesting films, and will be around for a long, long time.
I saw this on the Daily Fail, and even the usual vile comments thought this crossed the line and was just mean-spirited. I bet she is counting the days until the paps stop focusing on her so intently and hone in on some other young actress. She seems to be concentrating just on indies, so when enough time passes the paps will eventually back off.
This was a stupid stunt, but they could have written much worse things on her dirty car, couldn’t they? Her messy private life (cheating with a married man, old enough to be her father) has made her a popular subject for the tabloids. She put herself in that position, and she had to know better when she did it.
Her reputation and career were both damaged when she got caught last summer. Both CNN and ET called her affair with Scandal of 2012. The paps are waiting for her to screw up again and want to be there when she does it With her history, they may get another money shot.
Fair dues to her for not flying off the handle. What a strange job to stalk and harass a young girl. They will still write theit own version of what happened though, no matter how well she handles it, it will always be the most tabloid friendly version.
“Young girl”? Her fans try to infantalize her, she’s not a baby, she’s 23. If she’s old enough to run off and have an affair with a married man, she’s old enough to handle some attention by photographers. And she’s been acting in films since she was 12, she knows the business and all that goes along with it.
She’s had a PR rep for years because she wants attention. She’s basically irrelevant now that Twilight is over and she needs to keep her name in the media, that’s why she paraded around Paris for Fashion Week. She knows the game and she’s playing it.
I think it is a little soon to say that any major (or even secondary) members of the Twilight Saga cast are irrelevant now that the films and their subsequent DVD releases are now in the past–regardless of whatever anyone may think of the series or its actors.
not police lol i meant *paps
what is so wrong with. a bit of harmless trolling? people are acting like the paps took a sh!t on the hood of the car. i’ve seen so much worse police brutality
It is stalking. Stalking that is broadcasted all over the internet and skewed against the subject of harassment. Should not be legal. If this happened to non-celebrities, the justice system would send every one of these “photographers” to prison. Stewart handled it as well as one could in that situation. Inexplicably, she seems to get this worse than others.
She gets it worse for a few reasons, according to my friend who works in PR (I asked why certain celebs seem to have it worse…even if they are not visiting tabloid and pap friendly spots like Robertson Ave.).
Firstly, she was in Twilight which spawned a incredibly rabid fanbase. Part of that rabid fanbase was dedicated to literally hating the girl, as that usually happens with any young women who dates a teen heartthrob…but multiple that by 10 because of what happened in her former relationship (?…still not convinced that wasn’t PR) and because the twi-hards were on another level compared to other fanbases. Secondly, she’s awkward in the same way as Jesse Eisenberg is or Winona Ryder. These things guarantee hits on tabloid websites, so the paps go hard after her.
yeah if your friend was in PR then she would know that ‘robsten’ was a real relationship (as would any sane person). They never talked about it, they never posed for paparazzzi outside of work, they rarely ever PDA’d and when they did it was when they didn’t know they were being filmed etc
a PR relationship trades on the coupledom, they don’t actively avoid talking about it or selling it. It isn’t hard to understand

What’s the justice a woman deserves for cheating ? Public humiliation and verbal abuse from men trying to make a quick buck off her photographs or something even more severe ? Do you know that they stone adulterous women to death in several parts of the world. Is that too excessive or just right ?
So what should be her punishment ? Anything that a bunch of random men mete out in public or do you have something specific in mind ? Should all women in her position be subjected to the same punishment ?
Dear Jessica,
she was followed before the “famous” cheating scandal just because of stupid Twilight and people like you who are infatuated with her ex.
She is a woman and a human being and she is being followed constantly wherever she goes and treated so badly to get a reaction from her and then a picture. It’s really disgusting.
LeAnne Rhimes is in the tabloids every week, is that because everyone is a big fan of Eddie Cibrian or because she’s a well known cheater and homewrecker?
Kristne’s ex has nothing to do with Kristen’s poor judgement and lack of morals. She’s the one who made herself into tabloid fodder and unfortunately dragged him into it with her over the top public apology.
Miss Stewart has been verbally attacked and hounded long before Rupert Sanders chose to seduce her, a young lady who worked for him. Since that scandal, pap activity has continued unabated.
@Jessica, when Elizabeth Taylor died, I don’t remember affair, cheater, or home wrecker being mentioned. Judging by your comment, even ET did not deserve a second chance. Who are you? Only God has the authority to judge and he is a forgiving God. KS did not apologize for having an affair, she apologized for the public encounter. She was not kissing RS, she was trying to push him away. She should have filed charges against RS. Let those without sin cast the first stone!
Paparazzi are the scum of the earth. They have been hounding this poor girl every opportunity they got and others too. People say ‘Oh but it’s their job’ Well how about they do their job respectfully and peacefully without yelling vile things at celebs and stalking them to get a reaction out of them? Also it makes me rage when idiots say celebs signed up to this. No they signed up to act which is their job. They didn’t sign up to this constant harassment and bullying from these disgusting individuals. I’m appalled that there aren’t any laws against this in LA because this is just ridiculous, it’s beyond stalking to be honest.
The problem is, her PR rep, Ruth has the paps on speed dial when she wants some pics of Kristen smiling as she comes out of a Starbucks, pizza joint, or sushi place. We’ve seen all those staged pics, making her look happy instead of pathetic and heartbroken following her break up.
Since when has KStew ever smiled when she saw paps? Only beginning in May, when she needed a certain kind of publicity. So if you use them like that, you have to take the other side of the coin as well.
The people who insist that Kristen’s PR team is calling the paps really amuse me because they always say it with such conviction as if they know this as firsthand knowledge. Funny, when Robert Pattinson is papped getting coffee/gasoline, grocery shopping, going to a studio/office building for a meeting (all things Kristen has been papped doing as well), they never claim his team is calling the paps. No, Pattinson is an innocent victim that the paps prey on whereas Kristen is always the calculating bitch who arranges such photo opportunities. Another amusing observation…Pattinson stans who can’t stand Kristen Stewart always follow her comings and goings and read every tiny morsel of info that pops up on celeb gossip sites as much (if not more!) than their idol himself! Because they never want to miss an opportunity to nail her to the wall. Nice fans you got there, Rob!
LMAO if you think Kristen Stewart calls the paps or has her PR call the paps then you out yourself as a deluded Robert Pattinson fan. She hates them, she doesn’t need the publicity and it’s obvious that she tries to go under the radar. She never goes to chateau marmont, Nobu or any of those celeb places. She doesn’t dress up and get her hair styled, she wears jeans, an old t shirt and a baseball cap and no make up.
No sane person is going to believe that she calls the paparazzi lol
What do you mean, borderline? They crossed that border a long time ago. They hound her and swarm on her whenever they get a tip where she will be. It’s disgusting. The vile things they yell at her. You would hit someone who said those things to your wife, sister or daughter.
If you saw any of the video of her in Paris you would have seen the paps being very respectful and wishing her a happy 4th of July. No shouting of any kind. None. And she repaid them by calling the names as she waltzed into her hotel.
I think this incident was their retaliation for her being such a jerk in Paris. She chose the wrong time to over-react, but then, she does have terrible timing/poor judgement and her cheating scandal with Rupert Sanders proved that.
RetIliation? Oh so Brazilian his
I was in Paris and saw the paparazzi act. They laughed at her. They also made fun of fans. They wasn’t respectful at all
It just underscores the misogyny that is prevalent in tabloid media. The sad thing is that the target audience for most of these stories is other women and they are the ones who react most virulently. We can’t really expect things to change when we are driving the tabloid stories. Men get a pass on everything because boys will be boys, but if a woman acts in any way out of the norm, she is punished brutally. Or else she is seen as a sad sack and an object of pity (case in point, Jennifer Anniston).
I guess you’ve missed the way the paps follow George Clooney, Brad Pitt and many other male movie stars? Fame is not exclusively a female’s domain, is it? And Kristen isn’t being brutally punished. You give yourself away as one of her blindly devoted fans with that comment. She’s responsible for being tabloid fodder, she’s the one who chose to act out in a public place, and she’s famous for giving them just what they want, bird flipping and swearing.
Sherri: yes, the paps follow many celebs but they don’t STALK them 24/7 like a specific group does with Kristen and Rob. There are four in particular: Rolando, Cesar, and a husband and wife team (the Navarros) from X17 that harass, bully, taunt and constantly try to provoke them. If these four can’t be there then some of their other “staff” – proven to be ex-felons and thugs – are there to do the job and giggle like school girls after they say vulgar and hateful things to Rob and Kristen. I know this because they brag about it on social media and I’ve been to events Rob and Kristen have attended and seen and heard if with my own ears.
If you or I did this we’d be arrested and jailed but for some strange reason it’s okay for if the paps do it because they’re “professional” photographers. I dare say many of them never held a camera much less owned one before they got out of jail.
I’m really sad you feel the need to blame Kristen (or Rob) for these people following and bullying her…your lack of sensitivity and knowledge of the situation is one reason these aholes continue to do it…they know the general public has no idea what really happens and they feel free to chase, harass and bully her and Rob on a regular basis.
I challenge you to let perfect strangers (preferably ones that have spent time in jail and never stepped inside a photography class) follow you around 24/7 for, let’s say one month and then you tell me how much you like it.
Agree! Plus she doesn’t even say the F-word in the video,but in the article they say she reacted to paps :/
She actually does say it if you listen closely but who can blame her?
Do you believe in legal punishment for adultery ? I absence of a legal recourse, do you think ordinary people should take the matter in their hand and try to punish Kristen Stewart ?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRIGGEN MIND. PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT IN ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. WE DON’T HAVE (I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT) SHRIEA LAW IN THE US, AND I HOPE WE NEVER DO. ALL THIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND LAW HAS GONE TO SOME PEOPLES HEAD. OUR LAWS ARE BACKED UP BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ THESE LAWS ITS’ TIME YOU DO, BEFORE SOMEONE RIPPS THEM OUT OF OUR HANDS AND USES THEM AGAINST US. ARE NONE OF YOU WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON. OR DO YOU ONLY READ THIS STUFF.
Perhaps you should move to the Taliban ruled ares of Afghanistan where people are stoned to death, you and your views belong there. Thankfully we moved past the Scarlett Letter era in America.
