Kristen Stewart is not “planning paparazzi photo-ops” with St. Vincent, despite a ridiculous report. Gossip Cop can bust the story.

As Gossip Cop reported, Stewart said in a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph’s Stellar that she does “deeply care what people think” about her. Somehow, Celeb Dirty Laundry is now connecting the actress’ remark to her love life and new romance with St. Vincent. “Is Kristen Stewart planning paparazzi photo-ops with new girlfriend St. Vincent?” asks the site.

“Kristen Stewart cares so much about what others think that it’s also the reason why she’s so obsessed about her celebrity image — is this a reason she dumped Alicia Cargile for the more photogenic St. Vincent?” wonders the webloid. “Some fans on social media are saying that Kristen is that shallow.”

Right, because “fans on social media” know all about Stewart’s personal decisions and private motives. CDL goes on to assert, “It’s without a doubt that Kristen Stewart does care about what her critics think — both on and off the big screen. Sure, she might want the public to believe that she is fiercely protective of her personal life, but in actuality she uses the tabloid media to help generate more interest about herself.”

“It worked during Kristen Stewart’s ‘Twilight’ days and her Robert Pattinson relationship, and now it’s working for her in her very publicized romance with Alicia Cargile and her new girlfriend St. Vincent,” continues the outlet. “In fact, Kristen knows very well that she can’t hide from the paparazzi cameras if she wants to be a Hollywood A-list star.” The blog adds, “That’s why she caters to them and even plans her well-curated photo ops around them whenever she’s out and about.”

What a warped, and inaccurate, way of characterizing things. Stewart absolutely does NOT “cater” to the paparazzi nor does she “plan well-curated photo ops” to boost her career. Like many big stars, she is usually followed by paparazzo photographers when she goes out in public, whether she wants it or not.

Celeb Dirty Laundry already tried to claim last week that Stewart was using St. Vincent for awards season attention. But whether the two step out together has nothing to do with winning trophies or enticing paparazzi. The actress, quite simply, is just living her life. It’s a shame she’s judged for it. But Gossip Cop is assured that CDL’s assumptions about her motives are misguided.
