Story of the Day: Dakota Fanning Defends Cheating Kristen Stewart

Dakota Fanning has defended Kristen Stewart and says no one should be judging her regarding her recent cheating scandal. She says it’s sad that the media are constantly picking up on people’s heartbreak in order to make headlines and doesn’t think that the general public have a right to pass judgement on Kristen’s personal life because they aren’t the ones living it and thus don’t have the authority:

“Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicise the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It’s like, ‘Why do you think you are the authority to judge people’s experiences?’”

Commenting on how she maintains her sanity, Dakota says she is able to stay balanced because she is so passionate and in love with the job she does every day which helps her greatly:

“Why have I been able to stay sane in a sometimes insane world? The pure love of what I do. Making movies.”

The actress even reveals that in the past she’s only ever had one boyfriend and isn’t the kind of person who dates very regularly because she isn’t the type who wants to have a boyfriend in her life at the moment:

“You know, I’m not the kind of girl or person who really wants boyfriends in my life. I’m also the kind of person… I’m very black and white in what I feel and I don’t wanna be with someone that I don’t foresee spending a long time with.”
