Kristen Stewart SLAMS Hollywood For Treatment Of Women Filmmakers: Pitiful Number Of Films Were Made By Women Last Year

Kristen Stewart is one of the top actresses in Hollywood today. She has a huge fanbase and has always been very vocal about her concerns and controversies. The actress recently got hitched as she married

longtime girlfriend Dylan Meyer in a dreamy and intimate ceremony held on Easter Sunday, April 20. The actress and director was the keynote speaker on Tuesday at the Academy and Chanel's Women's Luncheon in Los Angeles and she spoke her heart out and called out Hollywood for not treating women filmmakers well.

At the event, she said, "In a post-MeToo moment it seemed possible that stories made by and for women were finally getting their due, that we might be allowed or even encouraged to express ourselves and our shared experiences, all of our experiences without filter. But I can now attest to the bare-knuckle brawling that it takes every step of the way when the content is too dark, too taboo, when the frankness with which it serves up observations about experiences routinely experienced by women, frequently provoke disgust and rejection."Further, she added, "The backsliding from a brief moment of progress is statistically devastating. It is devastating. Such a pitiful number of films from the past last year have been made by women. We obviously need many more women’s luncheons in our lives. We need to become ladies who lunch all the fucking time." "I am in a severe state of PMS today…But I relish being able to say that my nerves are close to the surface of my skin, and it is a great day for that," the actress joked. "We can discuss wage gaps and taxes on tampons and measure [inequality] in lots of quantifiable ways, but the violence of silencing, it’s like we’re not even supposed to be angry. But I can eat this podium with a fork and fucking knife. I’m so angry," Stewart shared.

Concluding her note, the Twilight actress quoted, "There are too few of us. We’re all here together now, and it seems like there’s a lot, Jesus Christ, there’s not. It’s not our fault. Sure, our business is in a state of emergency, man, and you know the last thing that I wanna do here is lose the celebration under a pile of pissed off rubble. We are allowed to be proud of ourselves and maybe to allow each other to reclaim the gratitude we’ve all become talented at performing and really taste it from the inside out." On the work front, Kristen Stewart has two upcoming movies: Love Me, a cosmic romance co-starring Steven Yeun, set for a 2025 release, and Flesh of the Gods, a vampire thriller co-starring Elizabeth Olsen and Oscar Isaac, currently in development.
