Stewart told Elle magazine earlier this summer that her life was too “boring.” Well now it's not, ever since news of her cheating with boyfriend Robert Pattinson things will not be so easy for her. As Fox news ask some experts what can happen now to Kristen's career and lovelife after the scandal.
Here are some of the highlights:
The overwrought public statement is out of character for the notoriously spotlight-shy Stewart.
“Sadly, the public statement from Stewart, who until recently had been fiercely private, indicates that she is desperate to salvage the situation by any means necessary, suggesting that she is doing it much more in service of winning back Pattinson than preserving her star status,” pop culture watcher Scott Huver told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “It may not have been the best way to handle it for her public image, but if Pattinson hasn’t been receptive to personal pleas, it may have been the only move left.”
PR expert Glenn Selig too was perplexed by the melodramatic nature of the statements.
“Both statements were so over-the-top and so dramatic it's almost like they believe they're starring in their very own movie,” he said. “It's very bizarre and strange, even by Hollywood standards.”
So will Stewart’s new-found standing as the pleading for forgiveness “other woman” hurt the forthcoming and final “Twilight” installment?
“Certainly the news that Stewart cheated on her beau and did so with a married family man nearly twice her age should be troublesome to even her most devoted fans,” Huver continued. “And at a time when she seems to have come into her own as a confident public figure, she may have to retreat from the spotlight, including press to promote the film, to avoid the inevitable questions about the scandal.”
The seemingly unwanted publicity does, however, add a twinge of off-screen suspense to the release of the film. “Her core fan base is upset; she cheated with a married man and broke the rules. But angry fans have a short-term memory and I predict they will forgive her just like fans forgive most cheating celebrities,” explained entertainment writer Michael Cohen. “If anything, the scandal will enhance the intensity of the final film and fans of the couple will want to pontificate how much acting or not the couple share on-screen. This will for sure draw more numbers to the theater.”
