Coming out to your parents can be an emotionally challenging moment, but generally parents don’t then turn around and come out for their kid.
But that seems to be what Kristen Stewart’s mum Jules Stewart has done by confirming that her daughter is in a relationship with her personal assistant, Alicia Cargile.
Kristen, 25, split from her very public relationship with fellow Twilight actor Robert Pattinson two years ago, and though she maintains a fairly low profile, speculation started buzzing when she and Cargile were photographed getting cozy at Coachella in April.
“What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy,” Jules told the Sunday Mirror.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“She’s my daughter, I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices.”
“I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”
Jules continued, “I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want.”
“I accept my daughter loves women and men.”
“It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers.”
“People are good to do whatever they like as long as they’re not hurting people or breaking the law.”
“I have gay friends, family members, I’m accepting of people, we are all free to choose who we want to love.”
Whatever makes you happy, Kristen! Our only question is does Alicia remains her assistant? That sounds awkward.

Oh, give me a break, Jules. Nobody’s falling for it. There are too many fake bisexual females around to be taken seriously.
Oh, and I wonder if Jules Stewart’s husband is bisexual. Women tend to feel threatened by the genuine nature of male bisexuality, and are often uncomfortable discussing it.

@jason smeds please go jump in front of an oncoming train.
Good for Kristen and her mom seems lovely.

I never bought Kristen and Robert’s “dating” during the TWILIGHT years. I have always thought Kristen was a closeted lesbian.
Going back to one of earliest roles in THE PANIC ROOM my gaydar went off.

I thought Kristen Stewart was already out as bi/lesbian/queer? She’s been photographed with her girlfriend numerous times. Just google it. This is non-news.

It could explain why she seemed so dead eyed and vacant. Being in the closet isn’t easy. Hope she’s happy.
Curty
She seems more at ease, happier with women or this woman. Like she can be herself. Their pics are very intimate.

@jason smeds: Are you for real? No. Ignore.

Maybe “Does Alicia remains her assistant?” sounds awkward because most of us outgrew using English that badly when we were six…

A lot of gay, bisexual, and lesbian actors and other celebrities date or marry their assistants, or magangers. Barry Manilow did this.

To each her own. if she is happy, then good for her. It’s hard to live life under a microscope, I’m sure. I don’t envy her that.

Nice Mom. Not.

Kristen Stewart’s the main reason I watched the entire Twilight series of movies. She’s very compelling.

@NH Mike:
Very true statement, but remember she chose to be under the microscope. There are many professions that could be pursued besides Hollyweird.

Always thought Kristen was hot…and she just got hotter!
@Clark35: In that case, I’d like to be Taylor Kinney’s “assistant” or “manager”. lol

Women often fake their sexuality because they are rewarded for it. This includes faking bisexuality. Women tend to see their role as man-pleasers, and this includes catering to the girl-girl fetishes of straight-identifying men.
We certainly don’t want these women in our community. Fakes are fakes, and should not be included in it.

jason smeds, St. Matthew’s Episcopal Day School, were you by chance in Salem between February 1692 and May 1693?

@jason smeds:
How is Stewart being rewarded for it? And since she is trying to keep it hidden I’m not sure how you think she is doing this for attention. She already had the attention.

@lauraspencer: we all thought she was a closted lesbian… she has no hetero body language whatsoever. In my opinion.
