Actress Kristen Stewart criticizes Hollywood for patting itself on the back for achieving “phony” gender equality, stating that the industry believes it is challenging “the patriarchy” by simply ticking off boxes. Stewart, with a net worth of $70 million, expressed her thoughts in an interview with Porter magazine about Hollywood’s tendency to showcase select female-led projects as progress without truly making substantial changes. She emphasized the importance of not settling for token gestures and instead focusing on genuine efforts to empower women in the industry.
Stewart also discussed her upcoming directorial debut, “The Chronology of Water,” a film exploring taboo topics such as incest and menstruation. She has been determined to secure financing for the project and has vowed not to take on any new acting roles until she brings her vision to life. Despite the controversial subject matter, Stewart believes the film will be a thrilling and transformative experience for audiences.
In 2021, Stewart garnered attention for her unconventional portrayal of Princess Diana in the film “Spencer,” depicting the royal figure as a complex and troubled individual yearning for human connection. Stewart’s bold choices in her roles reflect her commitment to challenging norms and pushing boundaries in her craft.
