The fairest of them all?

The news of Kristin Stewart’s affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders shocked the nation. Not only was their on-set relationship as Bella and Edward perfect, but Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson appeared to be real-life soul mates, too.

However, on the wake of her scandalous affair, Kristen has not only lost her chance at a perfect relationship with Pattinson, she has also subsequently been dropped as the main character from any further Snow White film that Sanders directs.

Rumours that the follow-up movie will now skip focus from Snow White to the character of the Huntsman are floating around Hollywood, but Kristen playing a supporting character has been labelled as a possibility. Either way, Stewart’s chance at another leading role in such a beautifully produced female-centered action fantasy has departed, along with her relationship.

Every single article I have read on this subject matter since the revelation of the affair has labelled Kristen as the love rat, destroying any hope she had at getting Rob back after  chasing after a rich older man, but isn’t this slightly unfair? Yes, she cheated and has probably thrown away the one chance she had of changing her identity from hopeless-wannabe-vampire to serious actress, but an affair takes two, remember!

Why then, is Sanders, who is married with children, allowed to slip into the background of the controversy, while Stewart takes all the stick? Before we know it, Snow White and the Huntsman Part 2 will be showing in cinemas and Sanders will be making himself yet another fortune.

A friend of Kristen’s said "She's terrified of the reaction to her actions. She doesn't feel she should be the only one to suffer for something both her and Rupert had an equal part in."

So now perhaps it is Kristen’s time to reinvent herself for the better. Sure, she has made a mistake and she probably has blown her career and relationship for the time-being, but hasn’t she always been a-little- too-imperfect-to-be-perfect? I guess we’ll have to just wait and see whether Snow White can ever prove herself to be the fairest of them all, or if she will just remain the most hated woman in Hollywood!
