Actress Jodie Foster wrote an open letter to the Daily Beast on Wednesday, expressing sympathy for her “Panic Room” co-star Kristen Stewart. A child star herself, Foster slams the media and fickle fans for attacking Kristen, following headlines that she cheated on Robert Pattinson with director Rupert Sanders.

Reflecting on her time spent with Kristen on the set, she remembers how they “talked and laughed for hours, sharing spontaneous mysteries and venting our boredom. I grew to love that kid.”
When she found out that Stewart, then 11, wanted to pursue acting, Jodie asked her mom, “Can’t you talk her out of it?” These days, thanks to “Twilight” and the cheating scandal, KStew can’t escape the pressures of Hollywood.

What does Jodie want Kristen to know? “Eventually, this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive.”
She added, “Hopefully in the process you don’t lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and – finally – the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don’t let them take that away from you.”

1st I want to say is that I love Jodie Foster & I loved that movie, "Panic". 2nd I didn't even realize that it was Kristen Stewart in that movie. For people that knock KStew for her acting she rent that movie because she was awesome in that movie. I agree that I am hooked on the whole Twilight movies even tho they are not the best movies for any actor/actress to be in. I think people have to see her in more roles outside of "Bella Swan" before they judge.
I also agree with Jodie Foster & Robert Pattinson whereas our lives are private-just because they are celebrities doesn't mean that their personal lives aren't private. They have their professional persona where we see them as their professional selves. Then they have their everyday persona which is their private persona where their families, friends & loved ones are the only ones that are a part of. In other words, it's no one's dam business what goes on in their personal persona. So mind your own business. I wish them all happiness, peace, love & light!
Good for you Jodie Foster, I wonder if Rob Pattinson was the one who cheated if the public would be so hard on him. Kristen Stewart is a young, very talented, vulnerable woman, okay she cheated ONCE, I'm certainly no condoning it but come on, every one deserves a second chance. The man she cheated with, he has a gorgeous wife, 2 beautiful young children, he's almost twice Kristen's age and a lot more experienced, I am certain Kristen Stewart was not his first "conquest", my heart goes out to Kristen Stewart and this man's wife and children. If any one's career should suffer it's this "players"
