Kristen Stewart Criticizes Hollywood for Hiring the Same Female Directors, Calling it ‘Phony’

Kristen Stewart is not holding back when it comes to calling out the Hollywood industry for its lack of progress in empowering women. In a recent interview with Porter magazine, the actress and director expressed her frustration with the industry’s tendency to pat itself on the back for promoting female voices while only highlighting a select few.

Stewart criticized Hollywood for its “phony” attempts at diversity and inclusion, pointing out that the industry often celebrates a small group of women while ignoring the broader issues of gender inequality. She emphasized the need for real change and genuine efforts to empower women in all aspects of filmmaking.

The actress also shared her own struggles in getting financing for her directorial debut, “The Chronology of Water.” Stewart revealed that she is determined to make the movie before taking on any new acting projects, highlighting her commitment to telling important stories and breaking barriers in the industry.

Despite facing challenges in getting her movie off the ground, Stewart remains determined and passionate about bringing “The Chronology of Water” to life. The film, based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, promises to be a provocative and impactful exploration of themes like incest, periods, and women reclaiming their voices.

As Stewart continues to fight for her directorial vision, she urges Hollywood to do better in supporting diverse voices and stories. Her candid and bold statements serve as a reminder that true progress requires more than just token gestures and empty promises.
