Robert Pattinson’s fiancé, FKA Twigs, was the target of racist comments when it was first revealed that they were dating and the actor is now opening up about his feelings on that.

FKA Twigs spoke about it this summer in an interview with Complex and now Pattinson is sharing his anger.

He told NME the only people who make hateful comments like that are “demons.”

“I was talking to my dad about this and I bet him that if he looked up Nelson Mandela’s funeral on YouTube, the first comment would be a racist one,” he said. “And it was, with like a million upvotes. What I don’t get is why.”

“I think it’s because most normal people are not commenters – I’ve never met anyone who’s left a comment on anything,” he continued. “It’s just demons who live in basements. You have this weird thing where you end up trying to fight against this faceless blob, where the more you hate it, the bigger it gets, because it’s all in your head.”
