'Twilight' Kristen Stewart: 'Rape' comment was 'an enormous mistake'
Kristen Stewart's notorious awkwardness with the press hit a new low when she compared to her red carpet photo ordeal to rape.
"The photos are so ... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped," she says in the July issue of UK Elle.
The expected backlash was swift and fierce, with rape victims' advocacy groups criticizing the "Twilight" star's remarks. Stewart has since reconsidered her words.
"I really made an enormous mistake -- clearly and obviously," K-Stew tells People. "And I'm really sorry about my choice of words. I've made stupid remarks before, and I've always reasoned: 'Whatever. They can think what they want.''Violated' definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought.
"People thinking that I'm insensitive about this subject rips my guts out," she adds. "I made a big mistake."
Stewart has done PSAs for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) and SOC after she played the victim of rape in her 2004 film "Speak.""The photos are so ... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped," she says in the July issue of UK Elle.

My goodness. It was just a comment. Whatever happen to people repecting others opinions because at the end of the day what she said was her opinion. When did we become a country where a person is not longer allowed to speak their mind.
she is so nasty and smelly. Kristen needs to stop with the drugs and acting. Poor thing is like a monster. Sad.
**** SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH DEVIL!!
@Jesussaves - "It was just a comment." Yes, it was just a comment, a completely thoughtless, insulting, ridiculous comment that she should apologize for. Kudos to her for apologizing, but she should have never made that comment in the first place. I am so sick of her complaining about "how hard it is to be in the spotlight." If she didn't want to be in the spotlight, then she shouldn't have become an actress. It is that simple. She makes millions of dollars, travels all over the world, and she still complains. She sounds incredibly ungrateful, spoiled, and immature. There are people who don't have houses to live in or food to eat, but she still complains about having to walk a red carpet. Yeah sweetie, life is hard.
