Variety is issuing an apology to Kristen Stewart.
Stewart came under fire after an interview with Variety was posted saying that Stewart said the ongoing diversity debate in Hollywood as "boring." The video in its full length has now been posted on the site to provide clarity to the comments.
It was during a videotaped interview that Stewart was heard saying that people should stop sitting around and complaining about that and that they should do something. They should go write something, or try to make a change. "It's hard to get movies made. It's a huge luxury. Who gets to just make movies? But that subject is just so prevalently everywhere right now, and it's boring," said Stewart.
Variety posted an apology saying, "Comments made in a videotaped interview Monday with actress Kristen Stewart about gender equality in Hollywood at the Sundance Film Festival were erroneously labeled on Variety.com in a way that suggested she was addressing issues pertaining to diversity. Variety regrets the error and apologizes for any confusion."
The site went on to say that, "The incorrect text accompanying the video was quickly amended, corrections were issued on social media and a re-edited version of the video has been published to make clear what question she was answering. The error was the result of an edit to the web page in which the video was presented without seeing the specific question Stewart was answering, which pertained to a lack of opportunities for female actors and directors."
