Jodie is right. All actors owe the public is great performances. Kirsten's life is her own and like all of us she is not perfect. When I read the ugly, judgemental things that are posted, it saddens me. I can only say to those people that when they make a mistake I hope others don't judge them as harshly.
Alright...yes, Jodie is right. She is a master at the art of acting and is VERY well compensated for it. Which gives her the ability to do what the heck she pleases in terms of privacy or not privacy. She is so very well paid for play acting and has handled the media aspect of it with amazingly smart tactics. However, for her to have the nerve to think that her privacy and her life as she lives it on a day to day basis is any more mystic and amazing that requires some sort of "ultimate broad empathy" she can quite frankly go s herself. What about the single parent with kids at home that struggles to put food on the table and pay the rent. What if she is outside waiting for the bus and gets "taken advantage of" like Jodie said poor Kristen was? Will Jodie, in her multi-million dollar home be there for her? I think not. Quite simply, Jodie, I am not buying it.
Jodi Foster is confusing private life with someone making a fool of themselves IN PUBLIC. Kristin Stewart made a fool of herslef in public! If she cares that much, Jodi should teach her how to do that in private.
I'm curious what you would have said if it were reversed, and Pattinson was the one who had cheated on Stewart? Would you have just simply chuckled and said, "boys will be boys"?
I would hope not, but that seems to be the case more often than not today.
I think that Jodie Foster's most valid point is that the "public" should not have had the opportunity to pass judgment and express their disapproval of what is most certainly the private business of the individuals involved...
Stewart is certainly guilty of forgetting that the gutter press is always in a feeding frenzy and on the prowl...and regrettably, of behavior that I personally would not appreciate in a partner...
But the public's "right to know and decide" should be limited to their judgment on the value of the person's performance. Was it worth the price of a ticket?
If not...stop paying to see them...
But if so...mind your own business
I've long admired Jodie Foster for her talent, her academic achievements, her courage, and her determination to keep her private life private

Good for her in speaking out
