Why Kristen Stewart Thinks Actresses "Get Treated Like S--t"

  • On Jan. 9, Kristen Stewart promoted her directorial debut The Chronology of Water, criticizing how Hollywood treats actresses as the film opened wide after premiering at Cannes 2025.
  • Based on Yuknavitch's 2011 book, Stewart adapted The Chronology of Water to `speak to a world designed to silence women` and warned `We’ve been pushed out of the canon in terms of expression.`
  • Speaking to The Times and Sunday Times, Stewart said, `Actresses get treated like s---, I've got to tell you,` and recounted an unnamed male actor's defensive remark that he had `never met an actress that wasn't crazy`.
  • Being a director, Kristen Stewart said colleagues began `talking to me like I'm somebody with a brain`, changing how people listened and exposing Hollywood industry attitudes.
  • The director criticized the idea of a directors' pedestal as `an idea perpetuated by men` and rejected simulated sex scenes, saying the film tackles raw themes like incest, periods, and reclamation of voice.
