Actress Kristen Stewart has described US President Donald Trump's tweets
about her private affairs some years ago as 'obsessed' and 'f*****g crazy' in an interview to
Variety. President Trump, who has newly assumed office over the weekend, tweeted a series of comments when Kristen and actor Robert Pattinson were ending their romance in 2012. Asked by
Variety, Kristen says now, "He was mad at me a couple years ago, really obsessed with me a couple years ago, which is f*****ing crazy. I can't even understand it. I literally cannot even understand it. It's such far-out concept that I don't want to believe that actually is happening. It's insane." The 26-year-old actress was promoting her new film
Come Swim at the Sundance Festival.
In 2012, Kristen Stewart was less bothered by Donald Trump's tweets than she is now. "At that point, he was just, like, a reality star. I had no reference. It wasn't like really a thing. But in retrospect, somebody reminded me of that and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, you're right!'" she told
Variety.
"He's probably going to tweet about this," added Kristen, who is not on Twitter herself.
In 2012,
Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson broke up very publicly after the actress was pictured in an embrace with Rupert Sanders, her
Snow White And The Huntsman director. In a series of tweets, including
the typically offensive-worded one below, Donald Trump advised Robert Pattinson
not to reunite with his former girlfriend.
Donald Trump is now the President of the USA and Kristen Stewart told
Variety that while she's not the most 'politically charged person,' the Trump presidency is less about politics and more about being 'humanitarian'.
Kristen Stewart, who began as a child star, was seen in the movies
Cafe Society and
Personal Shopper last year.
Come Swim is a short film she's directed and she will next be seen in
Lizzie, a biopic of murderess Lizzie Borden.
