Kristen Stewart Flips Off Paparazzi, 'Sad' After Robert Pattinson Split
Kristen Stewart is reportedly struggling with her recent split from Robert Pattinson and new photographs appear to show just how unhappy the actress is.
On Thursday, four days after Pattinson was photographed moving out of her home, Stewart was spotted walking through a Hollywood car park with a female friend when she uncharacteristically began flipping off the paparazzi with both hands, according to Daily Mail UK which published photographs of the incident.
The 23-year-old "Twilight" star is often reserved and impassive during public appearances, and subsequently her offensive hand gestures have raised concerns about her emotional state.
"Kristen has been in a terrible mood, and it was obvious that things were not great with Rob," a source told People magazine.
Stewart has reportedly turned to her close friends, including singer Taylor Swift, following her split from Pattinson. They have reportedly been a great source of support for the actress.
"Kristen is super sad over the whole thing," another source told HollywoodLife.com. "She's depressed and rightly so."
On May 13, Pattinson, 27, celebrated his birthday and Stewart, whom he dated on-and-off for four years, was nowhere to be seen. A paparazzi photographer claimed Stewart and Pattinson were embroiled in an intense phone dispute on that same day.
"Kristen was pacing back-and-forth in her friend's apartment, smoking. She looked really upset, talking on the phone for almost an hour— I'm guessing she was talking to Rob," the unnamed photographer told X17 Online.
"She was really animated, like she was trying to explain something. She was getting frustrated and seemed very emotional," he added.
In July last year, Stewart was photographed intimately embracing her "Snow White and The Huntsman" director, Rupert Sanders, during a secret tryst. She later publicly apologized to Pattinson, however the actor had difficulty moving past the scandal.
"Rob always brings up the cheating scandal to Kristen. He hangs it over her head," a source told Us magazine.
"He's not as into it as he was before the cheating— not giving her special treatment like he used to. She feels unloved and that's why they fought," another source said.
