Kristen Stewart Causes Trouble While Serving Justice. Such Is the Paradox of K-Stew.
Poor Kristen Stewart. She can’t even do her civic duty without sparking some kind of controversy. The New Moon beauty turned up at Los Angeles Superior Court this week to serve jury duty, a seemingly virtuous act that could end up costing two men their jobs.
It seems that one of the security guards at the court is a big K-Stew fan and asked to take a picture with the actress, a request that she graciously granted. So what’s the big brouhaha? Well, it turns out a pal of the guard’s was also on hand for the photo-op, and he allowed his wife to post the pic on her Web site. And somehow—don’t ask us how these things happen, we’re not scientists—the photo ended up on other Web sites. Which apparently didn’t go over too well with Los Angeles’ legal system.
As the scandal erupted, the guard’s wife quickly removed the photo from her site and posted the following update, which pretty much tells the rest of the story:
“Cancelled because unfortunately the photo that went up from Kristen in court was stolen and put on several blogs and got to the media (the press) and reached the ears of the court. Right now my husband and the security guard are in trouble for it having gone up and second because it is confidential when celebrities are in court.”
Tsk-tsk Internet; have you no regard for people’s privacy?
Oh, and speaking of perhaps-inappropriate divulgences, TMZ has unearthed the details of the case that Stewart was sitting on: Apparently it involved a guy who was busted for solicitation in a prostitution sting and who claimed that, due to his poor English skills, he didn’t understand the proposition. Stewart and her co-jurors found him not guilty.
i want a picture with kristen…
What trouble did she cause? How was she to know that the employees of the court weren’t suppose to take pictures with celebs. It’s not her fault at all. The employees should have known better!
i want a picture with kristen +1
Well said Kim! It` got nothing to do with Kristen ! The Guard ASKED HER if he could take a photo with her , and HIS wife put it on the ‘net’ Kristen is a real inspiration to so many people , leave her alone !
That’s the employees fault, they should have known better. Kristen has nothing to do with this.
wtf she didn’t do anything how she was supposed to know
i want apic with her xxD
That was nice of Kristen to take a photo with them, but I do agree she had nothing to do with this story. The guards should have known.. I am also glad to hear the stars have to go for jury duty too, as I had also done jury duty twice..
Ya needa get off her ass she aint no dey were gonna get in trouble dat wuz all on dem ! she wuz nice enough tah take a pic wit dem !
i don’t think she’s anything to do with this she was just being nice and taking a pic with afan
This is typical of celebrity sites. They put up a controversial headline just to draw people in. It is obvious that Kristen had nothing to do with the trouble these people got into but you don’t find out the truth until you go down into the story. Typical. Typical.
thats so stupid! kristen didnt do a thing! she was just trying to be nice with a fan! that guard is guilty! -.-
i want to see kristen so bad! but i live in europe!
