Out actress Kristen Stewart has publicly responded to President Trumpā€™s creepy obsession with her.

Before she came out, the actress had an on-again off-again romance with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson ā€“ but they broke up in 2012 amid tabloid rumours of infidelity.

The now-President Donald Trump grew obsessed with Stewart at the time, sending a notorious string of tweets about her spanning several months comparing her to a dog.

Trump tweeted: ā€œRobert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it againā€“just watch. He can do much better!ā€

On another occasion he added: ā€œEveryone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.ā€

While hosting President Trumpā€™s favourite TV show Saturday Night Live, Stewart ā€“ who came out as gay in 2015 ā€“ directly addressed the showā€™s most loyal viewer.

She said: ā€œIā€™m a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president is probably watching and I donā€™t think he likes me that much. Hereā€™s how I know.

ā€œA few years ago I was dating this guy called Robert, and we broke up and then we got back together, and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane.ā€

Reading out the  ā€˜dogā€™ tweet, she continued: ā€œI know what youā€™re thinking, right? Thatā€™s so crazy, the President tweeted about you once.

ā€œNo, no, the President tweeted about me 11 times.ā€

Reading out a tweet inviting Pattinson to find a new girlfriend at the Miss America pageant, she quipped: ā€œTo be fair, I donā€™t think Donald Trump hated me, I think heā€™s in love with my boyfriend.ā€

Stewart added: ā€œThe President is not a huge fan of me, but that is so OK. And Donald, if you didnā€™t like me then, youā€™re really probably not going to like me now, because Iā€™m hosting SNL and Iā€™m, like, so gay dude!ā€

The actress explained previously that coming out had made her happier.

She said: ā€œWhen I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialised, so I didnā€™t like it.

ā€œWe were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, ā€˜Thatā€™s mine. Youā€™re making my relationship something that itā€™s not.ā€™ I didnā€™t like that.

ā€œBut then it changed when I started dating a girl. I was like, ā€˜Actually, to hide this provides the implication that Iā€™m not down with it or Iā€™m ashamed of itā€™, so I had to alter how I approached being in public.

ā€œIt opened my life up and Iā€™m so much happier.ā€
