‘I’m so gay, dude!’ Kristen Stewart responds to Trump’s creepy obsession with her
Out actress Kristen Stewart has publicly responded to President Trumpās 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: āRobert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it againājust watch. He can do much better!ā
On another occasion he added: āEveryone 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 Trumpās favourite TV show Saturday Night Live, Stewart ā who came out as gay in 2015 ā directly addressed the showās most loyal viewer.
She said: āIām a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president is probably watching and I donāt think he likes me that much. Hereās how I know.
āA 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 ādogā tweet, she continued: āI know what youāre thinking, right? Thatās so crazy, the President tweeted about you once.
āNo, 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: āTo be fair, I donāt think Donald Trump hated me, I think heās in love with my boyfriend.ā
Stewart added: āThe President is not a huge fan of me, but that is so OK. And Donald, if you didnāt like me then, youāre really probably not going to like me now, because Iām hosting SNL and Iām, like, so gay dude!ā
The actress explained previously that coming out had made her happier.
She said: āWhen I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialised, so I didnāt like it.
āWe were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, āThatās mine. Youāre making my relationship something that itās not.ā I didnāt like that.
āBut then it changed when I started dating a girl. I was like, āActually, to hide this provides the implication that Iām not down with it or Iām ashamed of itā, so I had to alter how I approached being in public.
āIt opened my life up and Iām so much happier.ā
