If there’s one thing her time in the spotlight has shown to fans, that is that Kristen Stewart doesn’t like attention from the media, the paparazzi and, at times, from the fans themselves. In the June 2010 issue of Flaunt magazine, the actress says that being hounded by the paps feels like she’s being abused, but also that Twitter has effectively ruined every single day of her life so far because it offers everyone the opportunity to become an informant.

Kristen’s “Twilight” co-star also voiced a similar concern over Twitter abuse back in August last year, when he said that he’d come to live the day when he did not dare to step outside because of the madness that would generate. Anyone with a phone and some guessing skills can make them out and then tweet their finding, which means paparazzi are on the scene in a matter of minutes, Stewart also says now. Past events show that this is, indeed, an accurate painting of how things happen with them.

“They go and Twitter them [pictures] and then the paparazzi know where I am and they drive to my location and it gets crazy. Twitter [expletive]s me over every day of my life. Because people go, ‘I’m sitting next to Kristen Stewart right now’ and then they show up. I see people on their phones and I just want to take these cookies and throw them. It’s like ‘Get off your [expletive]ing phone and get a life!’” Kristen says of how the paparazzi always seem to find out where she is.

It’s not just the paps that the young actress is angry at, as fans (or non-fans more like it) are equally able to get her in a bad mood for interfering with her life like that. “I get so mad,” Kristen says of people’s habit of tweeting her whereabouts. “It’s like you’re trampling on someone’s life without any regard. And it’s rampant. Everyone can do it now. Buy a camera and you’re paparazzi; get a Twitter account and you’re an informant. It’s so annoying,” the star adds.

Over the weekend, we were also telling you that in the same interview with Flaunt, Kristen once again voiced her dissatisfaction at the media’s obsession with her, saying not ever in a million years did she imagine her life would turn out to be like this.
