Kristen Stewart was told her career would “go better” if she didn’t publicly date women, the actress has revealed.

Speaking in an interview last week, the Love Lies Bleeding star recalled being advised to keep her sexuality a secret by people she had “known, loved, and trusted”.

Stewart, 35, famously came out as bisexual during her Saturday Night Live monologue in 2017, eventually coming out as a lesbian a year later. She had been dating women for several years after her public split from Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

      It doesn’t change how much I like them. To me, it’s just who they are and it has no bearing on my life. I am just happy they’re not hiding it.

        This. Neil Patrick Harris played against type wonderfully, for instance.

        Honestly, I just don’t care about their personal life (although NPH seems to have the relationship that anyone can envy) as long as they’re competent actors and they do the acting thing. I’m only here to see their work, not their bedroom.

    Sadly a lot of people are shallow individuals. Many apparently think they might have a chance with a celebrity, and others have a brainwashed religious conservative upbringings.

    Career issues happen all the time when celebrities come out as gay. Look at Adam Lambert, during American Idol, the week after a photo of him kissing a man at Burning Man came out, he went from being consistently one of the most voted to one of the least in a week, and ended as the runner-up to Kris Allen.
