Welcome to THG Asks, a feature in which our two celebrity gossip
experts debate a topical issue in the entertainment world and readers
decide on which side they fall.
Today, we turn our focus not just to Kristen Stewart and her shocking affair with
Rupert Sanders, but to her unusual decision to issue a public apology regarding her actions.
We ponder both arguments and then
THG Asks: Should the actress have taken this step?
-------------------------------------------
NO. By Free Britney
Kristen Stewart owes the public one thing
and one thing only: the best performance she can give on screen. She's
an actress. She didn't cause any personal or emotional harm to a single
fan out there and, no offense, but if she did... that's your fault, not
hers.
Kristen owes Robert Pattinson an apology. She owes
Liberty Ross,
the wife of Sanders, an apology. She owes the director's two kids an
apology. These were people actually affected by her lapse in judgment.
But what Stewart does in the privacy of her own home - or
in the front seat of a car,
apparently - is between Stewart, the person she is doing it with and
those connected to either or both. When it comes someone such as
Kristen, who has clearly never craved fame, I choose to judge her solely
on her acting chops and don't expect her to meet any sort of ethical
standard in her personal life.
And I certainly don't need her to apologize to me when she fails to do so.
Hi, Free Britney. Welcome to 2012. Your
argument may have made sense a couple decades ago, prior to tabloids and
the paparazzi and the Internet and the blurring of lines between the
public, the private and the professional.
But this isn't a debate over how thing should be. It's a debate over how things are.
And this is how they are in this age,
especially for a star such as Stewart and a franchise such as The
Twilight Saga: the movies are sold as much on Kristen and Rob's
relationship as they are on vampires, werewolves and half-human babies.
It's very easy to argue that Stewart's dalliance with Sanders will cost
the studio millions, considering fans who simply won't be able to stand
her on screen any longer.
Yes, Twihards take their Robsten very
seriously and, whether Stewart wanted to play that game or not, she
profited significantly from it. The investment of others in her
relationship with Pattinson shot this actress on to the A-list. And she knew
that. She may have disdained the spotlight, but she was aware that
countless fans were staring at her in it and expecting her - at the very
least - not to cheat with a married man nearly twice her age.
I mean, seriously. Are we really at the
point where we're second guessing an apology? Isn't that what we ask for
from those who make a mistake?
Your turn, readers. What do YOU think? Should Kristen Stewart have issued a public apology for cheating on Robert Pattinson?
