Kristen Stewart’s coming out as gay on live television in 2017 was one of the biggest shockers ever. In the following years, many wondered what prompted the actress’s big decision. After waiting for nearly seven years, fans finally have an answer. Turns out former President Donald Trump had a big role to play. Recently, Stewart, who is in a relationship with Dylan Meyer, revealed she came out as gay after seeing the former real estate mogul’s tweets. Will this revelation cause any drama between Kristen Stewart and Donald Trump? Only time will tell.
Kristen Stewart and Donald Trump’s Bad History
Kristen Stewart and Donald Trump have not been in each other’s good books for the longest time. Fans of the duo would recall that their bad relationship dates back to 2012. At the time, Trump made headlines after he publicly aimed at Stewart’s rollercoaster relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Taking to X, the politician accused Stewart of cheating on her boyfriend and asked him not to take her back.
“Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog and will do it again — just watch. He can do better!” Trump tweeted in 2012.
However, it wasn’t until February 2017, while hosting Saturday Night Live, that Stewart decided to shoot back at Trump’s tweet. Interestingly, she also used the opportunity to open up about her sexuality.
“Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re probably really not going to like me now. Because I’m hosting SNL and I’m, like, so gay, dude,” she said in her monologue.
Donald Trump’s Tweets Influenced Kristen Stewart’s Coming Out
Seven years later, Trump can apparently claim some responsibility for Kristen Stewart coming out on national TV. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 33-year-old said Trump blasting her on X was the reason she opened up about her sexuality. Stewart explained to the outlet that the “very shoot-from-the-hip moment” came after brainstorming with the show’s writers about the lackluster script.
“This is the most boring monologue ever. What are we going to do? What the f**k?” Stewart said.
At this point, the actress revealed someone showed her Trump’s previous tweets, the perfect spice she was looking for.
“He’s mad at me for cheating on my boyfriend? Little does he know…” she explained.
Stewart also mentioned that she wasn’t surprised Trump took out time to comment on her relationship, as he was “such a little baby.” Meanwhile, the actress has said she’s tired of people taking interest in her past relationship with Pattinson. She said it’s been years, and always talking about it is weird.
