14 DAY TRIAL // Robert Pattinson has had his heart broken over and over again by his former “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart, but he seems to have finally found someone with whom to move on. He is now dating singer FKA Twigs, who may have just gotten herself under serious fire from Twihards by dissing Kristen in public.
Allegedly.
Robert and Twigs were photographed holding hands a few weeks ago, with sources close to the Hollywood star telling the tabs that he’s “in love” and feeling happy at long last. She feels the same way – and may even share his dislike for Kristen after all she did to him.
FKA Twigs dissed Kristen in public
This comes from Hollywood Life citing unnamed sources, so it’s best taken with a grain of salt: apparently, during a recent show in Bristol, United Kingdom, a fan of Twigs’ yelled something like “[expletive] Kristen Stewart!” and Twigs heard him and “smirked” in response.
The report goes on to speculate and / or imply that, because of the way she feels for Robert, the singer can’t but blame Kristen for the way her relationship with the British actor ended. For the record, Kristen cheated on Robert and was then publicly shamed when the weeklies ran the photos to prove it.
The other man was Rupert Sanders, who directed her in “Snow White and the Huntsman” and who was, at the time, married. Once the scandal died down, Robert reconciled with Kristen, but by that time, it was already too late because the flame (and the trust) had gone out.
In showbiz, the mere mention of a “smirk” to something bad said about a rival is all it takes to start a feud or, in this case, send fans tripping.
This won’t make the backlash against her stop
A few days ago, shortly after photos of her and Pattinson emerged online, Twigs was forced to take to her Twitter to take a stand against all those so-called Robert Pattinson fans who seemed to hate nothing more than the idea of her dating him – and who even wished her dead, after attacking her for the color of her skin.
You have to understand, the “Twilight” fanbase is one of the largest and most fiercely loyal there is, but many times this translates into a certain inability to make the distinction between real life and film.
Millions of these fans believe that Pattinson and Stewart were meant to grow old together, just like the characters they played onscreen were soul mates who gave up everything just so they could be together.
Regardless of what happens, they believe these two actors should try to stay together, because that’s how it’s supposed to be. FKA Twigs’ presence clearly suggests that this won’t happen, and they’re not happy with it so they lash out against her.
If she really did diss Kristen, she messed with the wrong fans because they will not let her forget just how much they hate her for being the one who keeps Robert and Kristen from getting back together.
I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week.

Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online.
