Kristen Stewart came out after seeing Donald Trump's tweets about breaking up her relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
The actress said this to Rolling Stones, recalling, for the magazine's cover story, her February 2017 monologue on Saturday Night Live which was the opportunity for her to attack the then President of the United States and reveal her own sexual orientation.
"Donald, if you didn't like me then, you won't like me now.
Because I'm the host of SNL and because I'm gay", the future Lady Diana said at the time in Pablo Larrain's biopic Spencer.
Kristen has now told the story behind the scenes of that monologue and the fact that it was not at all expected that she would come out with that intervention.
Stewart, who is 33, said the decision came as a surprise to her too after, in a session with the show's writers, someone cited tweets in which Trump accused her of cheating on Pattinson, then encouraging the former Twilight co-star not to get back with her.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kristen said she was tired of all the interest in her old relationship with Pattinson: "Rob and I can't take it anymore. It's like someone, decades later, is asking you to account for what you did." in my senior year of high school."
