D.B. Sweeney called Robert Pattinson a “douche” & Twihards attacked him

Does anyone else remember The Cutting Edge? D.B. Sweeney played a former ice hockey star who finds a second career as the ice skating partner to a temperamental skating diva played by Moira Kelly. No joke, I absolutely LOVED that movie when I was young. If I had a copy of it right now, I would watch it to see if still stood up – I suspect that it does. Moira and D.B.’s chemistry was surprisingly good, and they managed to have an old-fashioned, dialogue-heavy flirtation, set against the backdrop of the ice skating world. Whenever I think about D.B. Sweeney, I always remember how great he was in that role.

But now D.B. is being introduced to a new generation, but it’s not because of his work. D.B. is on Twitter, and he happened to tweet his thoughts on Robert Pattinson’s Daily Show appearance last week. D.B. was not a fan, apparently. And the Twihards have now made D.B. Twihard Enemy #1. Incidentally, D.B. does seem to have some connection to Kristen Stewart – D.B. has worked with Kristen’s mom, Jules Stewart.

It all started when D.B. tweeted, “Just saw Pattinson on #DailyShow trying to figure out what took k-stew so long to look around with this douche astride her. #holytwit.” When the first barrage of Twihard hate came, D.B. tweeted, “Hey #twilight geniuses – try decaf! A little too worked up over a skinny vampire.” Then he started retweeting some of the crazier/funnier hate-tweets he was getting, which looked like this:

[Via D.B. Sweeney’s Twitter]

D.B. then went on to feed the Twihard trolls, tweeting, “Nice language twi-hards. Or should i say tards? Love the inchoate indignation.” The Twihards also referred to him as “middle-aged” to which he responded, “MIDDLE AGED?! But I am immortal…”

All in all, it’s really not D.B.’s finest moment, but I do like his sense of humor, and I can’t really slam him for riling up the worst elements of the Twihards. He was just having a laugh! Unfortunately, the people defending Saint Rob take it very, very seriously.

    DB certainly found a way to become relevant again. No one cared about him a week ago.

    • Liv says:

      He seems pretty happy about the attention he’s getting…

    • Cel says:

      +1

      The Cutting Edge is an update of the tv movie Champions: A Love Story from 1979, which I loved!

    • Jennt says:

      Another facet of this whole publicity stunt cooked up by Rob and Kristen’s people. Notice how DB is starring in Kristen Stewart’s mother’s movie? Not to mention Rob’s movie had the biggest box office opening average this weekend because we just had to go out and support our poor, heartbroken Rob. And here we thought their PR teams were idiots. I guess they showed us.

      • CTgirl says:

        Anyone else find it creepy that he describes RP astride KS and Sweeney played KS’s father in Speak? Cringe worthy realization. It also shows that Sweeney is unfamiliar with how human bodies actually fit together. 😉

      • pafakell says:

        CTgirl – I believe Sweeney was calling Rubert Sanders a douche. CB got it wrong in the headline.

    • atlantapug says:

      I want to know who actually followed DB on twitter in order to find this out.

    • ZigZagZoey says:

      What an idiot! He should have just said something nasty about Kim K.
      NOBODY ever has a problem with that!
      🙂

  2. beyonce's bump says:

    Please let him go sit his washed-up a$$ somewhere. I hate when these has beens try to attach themselves to the hot current stories to appear relevant #hotsitdown.

    We all know how psychotic twi-hards can get. I find it hilarious personally. Getting so riled up about someone who will never think of you. smh

    • Chicagogurl17 says:

      Someone needs to tell Leann and rosanne Barr.

    • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

      Shades of that angry mob that targeted Johnny Rotten for ‘God Save The Queen’. You’re going to beat someone to that degree over a woman who doesn’t know or care that you exist? Idiots.

      I’ve never had a celebrity crush, it makes no damned sense to me. Strangers don’t love you back and a good number of them think the public to be ‘beneath’ them. Why would I waste my affection on that?

  3. hmm says:

    DB Sweeney was also in Fire In The Sky, a creepy freaking movie about alien abduction–and Cutting Edge is on Netflix by the way (guilty pleasure).

  4. sara says:

    I can’t decide between Twihards and Brangeloonies for worst fans on the internet

    • gift says:

      @Sara u mean brangeloonies for worst fans on internet? Wow u totally wrong who gets more hate angie or jen? Angie gets death wishes for her and her kids. She possibly doesn’t ve the worst fans on the internet but its the other way round. In my opinion the twihards and jeh hens are the worst fans on the internet!

      • sanna says:

        Oh, you somehow made that tie into Jennifer Aniston. Thanks for proving her point lol

      • EmmaV1 says:

        But bringing Jolie into the mix on a thread that never even mentions her and has absolutely no connection to her proves sara’s point too and proves she herself has issues…whether it’s a fandom or just pure haters…they’re all psychotic and these supposedly “neutral” commentators have membership in these institutions as well.

    • mason says:

      Gift is right! In the first place no need to bring up brangeloonies!!Its k stew and R patz issue! And the fans are really psychotic!!

    • Miss Piggy says:

      Justin Bieber fans are the worst. Rational thought never even had a chance to enter the building with that group.

      “Cutting Edge” stands up. DB feeding trolls is kind of funny.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @ Sara-I think it’s a toss-up between fan bases. They both have one thing in common-they take criticism of their idols entirely too personally.

      • Dee says:

        Lady gaga has the worst fanbase. God forbid you point out something about their “mother”.

    • EmmaV1 says:

      @sara
      I think Aniston fans who try to pretend they arent her fans while defending her and hating on angelina and brad are the worst and craziest

      • Anahata says:

        Uggghhhh. I can’t stand angelina but have no feelings one way or the other about Aniston. There, did your stupid little head just explode?

      • EmmaV1 says:

        Don’t you just prove the point? You’re pretty psychotic with your scary posts on Angelina Jolie threads.

        Please check into a mental institution for the sake of not giving Angelina-haters a bad rep.

    • flan says:

      Oh, please. Chris Brown fans are really the worst.

      And I don’t think either Brangeloonies or Jen-Hens are nearly as weird as Twihards.

      It’s like this:

      -Chris Brown fans
      -Twihards
      -A lot of uncharted universe
      -Everyone else.

    • Cynthia says:

      Don’t forget Gaga’s little monsters!

  5. lil says:

    His twitter handle is amazingly douchey…

    • Carolina says:

      I was going to say…

    • TrustMeOnThis says:

      I’m thinking “DB” stands for “DoucheBag” – not an insult I like to toss around as I think it has misogynist overtones… but in this case, it just fits too well.

  6. marie says:

    ha ha ha, funny stuff and he got some publicity, good job DB..

    Also, Cutting Edge was my favorite movie growing up, absolutely loved it!! I saw it not too long ago and it was still good IMO..

  7. Jennifer12 says:

    Twihards get a little nuts, but he made some really insensitive remarks. And, wow, his plastic surgery was not great.

  8. Anna says:

    If anyone is embarressing himself here it’s him.
    What’s up with K. Stewart and middle aged men always defending her? She’s really Lolita to their Humbert Humbert.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Maybe they think if Sanders could get there, so can they? I have no idea. Btw, who else defended her? I don’t remember.

      But my god, does he not have other things to do than get into Twitter fights with Twihards??? A grown man. It does not make him look good.

      • flan says:

        Some other director friend of her.

        He did it better than this weirdo though and seemed more sincere.

        It’s so obvious this Sweeney just does it for the attention.

  9. Naye in VA says:

    The Cutting Edge is definitely even better now. They were showing it on Oxygen all the time a couple months ago. I think DB was on One Tree Hill for a while with Moira Kelly too.

    I think he may have done it just for laughs to get people mad. I do that all the time on FB. Especially with Chris Brown since I know he has some die-hard fans of friends on my page

    • apsutter says:

      Toe pick! Love that movie…it is full of 80’s awesomeness but totally holds up. The Cutting Edge and Princess Bride are forever linked in my head because my cousin and I watched them for the first time back to back and loved them.

    • Cynthia says:

      No One tree hill, but he had a short-lived similar show called Life as we know it (Kelly Osbourne was in it). He has some projects to promote in the future, that’s probably why he decided to open his twit-mouth

  10. Hmmm says:

    Yet another middle aged man coming out to talk about Kristen Stewart in a sexual manner.

  11. Julie says:

    some cheap cry for attention and it worked.

    maybe he hopes to get a piece of the cake.

  12. aquarius64 says:

    He made the situation worse.

  13. Trina says:

    He’ll be playing John Galt in Atlas Shrugged coming up in October.

    If by “relevant” you mean getting oneself into the tabloids frequently, then, no, he isn’t relevant, but he’s a working actor.

  14. Samantha says:

    Hope he’s hired extra security. Some of the Twilight fans are just…I don’t even know. Batcrap crazy.

  15. Kim says:

    Nor will they care next week

  16. Mrs. Darcy says:

    “Toe Pick!” My friend and I had a bizarre obsession w/this film and watched it ad nauseum…I dunno, he is a middle aged man picking on lovesick teenagers,shouldn’t he rise above it? Poor Twihards, their little world has imploded, I feel sorry for them. I imagine they feel the same torment I felt when Wham broke up.

  17. Van says:

    I don’t get why Twihards are the only fans singled out like this? Don’t all fans get defensive when someone attacks their precious celebrity? If you really want to discuss sick fanatics research the Supernatural fans who try to get the actors’ wives banned from conventions and wish they died, or Benedict Cumberbatch fans who really seem to need help that even he openly discusses how disturbed he is by them, or Hunger Games fans who are allergic to people of color, Justin Bieber fans who send death threats to people he’s even friends with.

    I know twihards are passionate and silly, but I fail to see how different is that from every other fandom. Call me when they do the above mentioned stuff. As far as I’m aware they don’t, and those fandoms deserve to get more shit.

    • Erinn says:

      EXACTLY. I think they’re just being singled out because it’s the ‘current issue’. The Beliebers are terrifying.

      I think there must be some sort of correlation with the age of the fanbase and how rabid the fans are. It seems like the young teenaged girls are the scariest.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        “Don’t all fans get defensive when someone attacks their precious celebrity?”

        I don’t know….I’m a fan of Michelle Williams and I think it’s kind of insane when people criticize her-to me there’s really not much to criticize b/c she makes it a point to keep her life low-key. But on a M. Williams post I just ignore the negative comments because I recognize people have a right to their opinion. The rabid fan bases are the ones that go after EVERY post, even seemingly innocuous ones and feel a need to denegrate that poster while simultaneously raving about their celeb idol. I think there are vastly different levels of “fan-dom”. Certain celebs just attract a more intense fan base. The Brangelina/Aniston triangle is particularly creepy to me because it usually only takes a comment or two into it before someone mentions one of them, even on an entirely unrelated post.
        It’s just very very odd and unique in the sense that you don’t see that “triangle” with other fanbases. Of course, the gossip rags are partially to blame as they feed into it too…

    • Bored suburbanhousewife says:

      @erinn +1 Keith Richard said in his autobio that there is nothing more frightening than a teenage girl…if they get hold of you they will literally start tearing their idol to pieces. He was caught early in the Stones career by a teenage girl pack–they just began pulling his clothes off and his hair out before security rescued him.

      • Erinn says:

        I can’t even imagine… I was never really rabid about ANYTHING. Barely had any ‘celeb crushes’ at all at that age.

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        Did he say this before or after his ephebophile bandmate started screwing a fourteen-year-old?

    • Mairead says:

      Ah here, you can’t compare us Cumberbitches to rabid slavish devotion of your average Colin Farrell fan-girl. o_0

  18. Riana says:

    It just seems several shades of pathetic.

    Yeah I get some Twilight fans already morons, but seriously. What’s with adults thinking they’ve won a decoder ring if they earn their anger?

    That guy’s acting like he was just crowned Cool Guy of the week because be took a cheap shot at a guy who was cheated on and the expected twilight rage ensued.

    P.S. why are all Kristin’s supporters middle aged men who can only express themselves via Twitter? At least Jodie was mature enough to write a letter.

    • Maria says:

      I agree. These middle aged men coming to Kristen’s rescue seem so pathetic to me. An adult man calling some faceless (probably teenaged) Twihards retards??? Ugh… Mr. Sweeney should just grow up.

      If Kristen’s friends would just shut their mouths and would not be so desperate attention seekers this whole situation would be easier also for Kristen. No leaked “oh Kristen can’t eat or shower or sleep” pity stories and no comments from her friends. Just show your face, do your job and face it like a grown up woman. People will eventually move on if she and her friends will move on, but as long as they are all trying to make her the victim here, people will continue backlashing her. Robert’s friends are clearly more wiser than hers and just ignore the craziness and don’t comment at all. Good for them!

  19. Riana says:

    Also Rob’s not a saint but that was just a low blow.

    It seemed more like that guy was pissed off at the career that never was.

    Don’t like Rob? Cool. But why are you on Twitter announcing your support for a girl who decided to end things with him via an affair with a married man.

    Clearly all his cylinders were firing.

    • ORLY says:

      That’s just it.
      I don’t know what could have possessed D.B. Sweeney to address this issue at all. I mean, if he was a comedian and it was in his standup routine, sure, but this was just so tacky. It came out of nowhere.

      Considering Kristen Stewart’s mother follows D.B. on twitter (@RealJulesStew) and would have seen that tweet, perhaps he somehow felt permitted. I just don’t know.

      • marie says:

        maybe he’s a drunk tweeter?

      • ORLY says:

        You know, Marie, you may be on to something.
        I wish celebs would just stay off twitter and other social network. It makes them too familiar and I find that I dislike or lose respect for the majority of those who participate.

      • Liza Jane says:

        It’s quite obvious that Kristen’s mother is his friend and sometime director,he has been in a film with Kristen and is clearly unhappy that she is taking such a beating from everyone in the media,fans ,gossips etc ( hence his repeating her full name not the ridiculous twihard/ media shortening)It read to me that he was trying to stand up for her and her family,whilst hinting that Robert was no saint either! The obvious point of view from a family friend…most of us would defend like that! I read nothing odd about what he tweeted..

      • mia girl says:

        Double post – sorry

      • mia girl says:

        I have no doubt that he’s a friend…but D.B. is the one who used “kstew” in his initial tweet. In fact it was many of her fans who tried to correct his use of it.

      • ORLY says:

        Thanks Mia, I was gonna say…

      • Anna says:

        Liza Jane, at least for me, I would never gave these kind of low blow, especially when Pattinson didn’t make any awful statements again Stewart. Sweeney could defend her without being a douchebag -Take Jodie Foster-

  20. truthSF says:

    The Cutting Edge was just on Lifetime last night, and yes, I totally watched it. Those Twilight fans need to get a life, and stop living their lives through crappy actors in a crappy movie/s.

  21. Crystal says:

    The real douche is this 50 year old never-was who slags off a young guy who had the audacity to be cheated on by his friend Dead Eyes McWoody. Sit down.

    If it wasn’t obvious before, this ordeal has shown the glaring differences between Rob’s side and Kristen’s side. Her side is doing her no favours. Why is DB Sweeney inserting himself in this drama? Did he bang her too? I find it creepy how many old men are her friends and defenders, tbh.

    As for twihards, this scandal couldn’t have happened to a more perfectly unstable fandom. The utterly delicious schadenfreude is giving me LIFE.

    On the other hand I’d take a twihard over a Brangeloonie, Jen-hen or Benedict Cumberbatch fan any day. Twihards have nothing on those pshyco’s. The people in those fandoms are beyond pathetic and annoying. As much as I love Angelina Jolie and Sherlock I can’t even bring myself to go into any of their posts (even on this site) because of the stans.

    • Havik says:

      Crystal, I always enjoy your posts (does that seem creepy? I don’t mean it to be, honest xD )

      I agree entirely; all I see here is a GROWN-ASS MAN getting into Twitter arguments with children/adults with children’s minds. Sit. Dafuq. Down.

      • Crystal says:

        Awwww thanks, I’m glad you like my posts even though I just ramble on 😉 Not creepy at all.

        Never seen you around these parts, but I’m glad I have a fan.

        Kristen and the people around her are flopping hard. they need to stop.

    • Ann Emmess says:

      If things were reversed, do you think his fans are different enough from her fans to make a difference in behavior?

      In a lot of fan throwdowns the looniest side is the one that has no real argument, so they start reaching. But would Rob’s fans be better?

      • Crystal says:

        I think Rob’s fans are crazy but they’re crazy is universal, like Justin Bieber fans or Brangeloonies/Jen-hens. Kristen fans are a different type of ‘Single-white female’ crazy.

        Rob’s fans love him because he’s supposedly charming, but that could be said for most male actors and the people that love them.

        Kristen’s fans love her because of the (fake) anti-hollywood, awkward, stoner, jeans&sneakers persona that she sold to the public. She had that little (fake) edge over Blake Lively, Ashley Greene, T-Swift and all the other charismatic stars so all the girls who identify themselves as ‘outsiders'(even though they’re just pretentous f*cks) looked up to her. They’re really protective over her so when you insult her, they see it as a personal attack on their character. They also have as much of a victim complex as she does and if you don’t like her it’s ‘misogyny’ or ‘she doesn’t play the game and you can’t handle it’. They don’t see that maybe she’s not liked for being a bratty little sh*t who doesn’t think before she speaks.

        To answer your question: if roles were reversed and Rob cheated, let’s be real, he wouldn’t get half the sh*t Kristen is getting because he’s a white man in hollywood (meaning he’s invincible) but they would definitely act as dumb as Kristen’s fans are acting now and make excuses for him.

      • Ann Emmess says:

        I so agree that the most out-there attacks come from fans who identify with the celeb. They fight so viciously because at heart, they’re protecting themselves.

        And then rough seas ahead, because if you buy and emulate Kristen’s smarter, deeper, above-it-all stance — which I’m sure Kristen believes as devoutly as her core fans do — then you all go down together with the huge shock that you are not the jaded sophisticate you thought, and real life has real consequences.

      • geekychick says:

        Crystal, your thoughts are spot-on. Very reasonable and thought-out argument against her. I like her acting (mostly, outside of Twilight), and I think she did a wrong thing, and that she should learn a lot from all this, but for the first time I can say that I can see the side of the coin of those who don’t like her.
        I just want to add:reasonable comments here can be heard, from all sides and perspectives, but the extreme ones are really unsettling*: from calling Stewart a “s ut, b tch etc” (especially when all of this tarted) to demeaning Pattinson, calling others “jealous b tches” etc. Those are the fans. It’s even worse out there, on Twitter or fan pages. They seem incredibly invested.
        *It’s fine by me if public decides her acting is not worthy of a career, or if she’s so immature to constantly auto-destruct from now on, but I feel uncomfortable when it’s about body-snarking, how she-must-have slept-with-dozens-of other men-too comments, how she should know better-because she’s a woman, or how she deserved to be dropped and so on.

  22. EM30 says:

    Just a point of information: He played Stewart’s father in the movie, “Speak” so they have worked together.

  23. Hécate says:

    Twihards are so crazy. Scientology crazy!! Those people should buy a life or rent it on sale!! D.B. Sweeney is getting attention so what?.. In Cutting edge was great. I love that movie!

  24. eb says:

    Toepick!!!!

  25. Jess says:

    He has worked with Kristen playing her dad in Speak, and recently starred in a movie directed by Kristen’s mom. He is not a complete random, and is considered a close family friend by the Stewart clan. This goes to show the kind of people that Kristen Stewart is surrounded by. Inappropriate men, older men, discussing her sex life publicly like that’s at all appropriate. It’s sick. “Astride” means to mount, straddle, wrap your legs around. He was tweeting about Rob mounting her. That’s disgusting.

    • tom says:

      WOW an overobcessed hater,l knowing every think. He worked with her and her mom, so now he is her spokesperson ? LMAO
      Maybe is just his opinion, like everybodys comments here or on the net or Twitter

      • Jess says:

        I’m an overobsessed hater for thinking DB’s tweet was gross, and Kristen needs to find better people to surround herself with? Ok, whatever. He’s not gross, and he’s a very appropriate person for Kristen to have in her life. There, done. Happy?

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        Huh?

    • Riana says:

      That astride comment was vomit inducing. The fact he’s a close family friend only makes it all the more gross and look bad for her.

      • T.C. says:

        Kristen Stewart is an adult, we all know she had sex with her boyfriend. Why all the pearl holder over the astride comment? That’s how men talk twihards. Normal adults have sex, this is not Bella Edward mormon world. I like Sparkles but the tweet was funny.

      • Anname says:

        TC, I don’t know how you talk about sex, but I usually don’t talk about my co-worker’s kids “astride” their boyfriends. It is crude and a stupid thing to post. Regardless of his thoughts on the situation, does he really think publicly slamming Rob supports Kristen?

      • Riana says:

        Personally I don’t favor the type of adults who would be that focused on what my daughter is ‘astride’ of. Talking about Kristin like the only thing she is is a walking vagina is incredibly insulting – to HER.

        Yeah there’s adult, and then there’s mature adult. Clearly Kristin is surrounded by one type but not the other.

  26. Anna says:

    Stewart fans aka the Krisbians and Robstens are the worst.
    I think couple of months ago they wished those fans who think that Robsten is a showmance to be gangraped and cut into pieces. No joke they wished them to be killed in that way.

  27. GoodCapon says:

    I only remember him on Life As We Know It, and I only watched that stupid show because Sean Faris was there *hangs head in shame*

    Rob looks good, I have to agree with another poster on a recent CB article where she said ” he wears breakup well” cuz it’s true. I still wouldn’t jump him though.

  28. cupidityrox! says:

    If he turns up missing atleast we’ll know who’s responsible

  29. booboocita says:

    WOW, D. B. has had some serious work done. I saw him a few years ago in Miracle at Santa Anna, a WWII film, and he was looking decidedly craggy (bags under eyes, saggy jowls). He’s almost smooth in the pics above. Wonder if this is just his way of calling attention to all the surgery? “Check me out — now with 75% fewer crinkles!”

  30. Anne B says:

    D.B. played a pretty good villain on Jericho a few years back. He’s got some talent, and to be frank if I were a bored actor, I might troll the Twilight fans myself for amusement.

  31. Maritza says:

    It served its purpose which was to get the people to notice him again, good move Sweeney!

  32. Janet says:

    He sounds like someone on the F list who is trying to make it to the D list.

  33. mia girl says:

    Does the D.B. stand for Douche Bag? Seriously, you think a 50 year old man in a tweeting spat with Twihards is funny? It’s all kinds of pathetic.

    Worse yet, either he doesn’t know the definition of “astride” or his defense of Kristen Stewart was incredibly sexually crass. Which is even more disgusting given that he could be her father… he played her father in a movie and just worked with her mother.

    FFS, pay attention: ANYBODY close to Stewart has to stop, stop, stop these tone-deaf public attempts in supporting her. You may think the backlash she’s received is not fair, but SHE started this. The best thing you can do for her is STOP bringing it up over and over. If the world is saying “poor Rob & poor Liberty” it is because Stewart & Sanders gave them the photographic cause to say it. Her bed, she lays in it. The fact that this bed of scandal does not have soft fluffy pillows of sympathy for Kristen is because :1. She carried on with a MARRIED man and 2. Her pre-scandal don’t give a sh*t image endeared her to very few people, other than twihards.

  34. aquarius64 says:

    I couldn’t post this comment on E! Apparently they are in the tank for Stewart.

    For a month Stewart has been the epicenter of the biggest scandal of the summer, possibly for 2012. She’s in hiding because of the backlash and the death threats and not speaking out directly (her PR team is doing a sloppy job with that). But by doing that she is allowing the press and blogs define her, confirming old perceptions and forming new ones:

    A) Her new nickname is Trampire, courtesy of a NY gossip rag, not Will Ferrell.
    B) She’s willing to bed directors to obtain acting jobs.
    C) Her past and present male co-stars are possiby her other sidepieces (or have been) under Pattinson’s watch.
    D) Michael Arangano (sp) is held up as People’s Exhibit A of a prior bad act, with him playing the role of cuckold. (What irony that Pattinson has been accused of being the dirty dog in this instance)
    E) Her image as an independent, foul talking bad ass has been blown out of the water. She now looks like a Hollywood cliche.

    Right or wrong these perceptions may be, her silence over time (and bowing out of events) allow the perceptions to stick to the point where a company can cash in on this scandal and sell vile t-shirts. If Stewart wants to salvage what’s left of her career (sorry, it’s been damaged) she needs to come out of hiding and start cleaning up the mess she made. She’s going to Toronto to go to the premiere of On the Road, but no interviews. Rob had to suck it up for Cosmopolis’ promos, she should too. At this point a sit down with Oprah and/or Barbara is in order to address everything that’s been written and blogged. (Coaching on how to do an interview properly, without F-bombs, will be needed.) It’s not fair that her colleagues are being peppered with questions about this scandal, especially when they have no role in it. Out of consideration take the heat of them. Also she needs to tell the family friends to lay off publicly defending her. Comments in print and social media have made the situation worse. Hire an expert in crisis management. Universal and other studios are watching how she deals with this mess, definitely to see if there’s negative financial fallout. When roles are offered and if Stewart may be one of the actresses being considered, the powers that be will take the scandal and her handling of it into account.

    Stewart did something foul and messed up royally and she needs to make amends. She owes it to Rob, Liberty, and the two small children she hurt (along with co-conspirator Rupert Sanders). She owes it to her colleagues who are now placed in uncomfortable positions because of her bad judgment. And, she owes it to herself to deal with this head-on or she won’t be able to go forward.

      I had no idea she wasn’t doing press at TIFF. I will be there and was looking forward to it. Damn!
      What’s the point of just showing up and leaving without speaking? I have never been to a Special Presentation at TIFF where the actors are present but don’t do a Q&A type thing.

    • Xas says:

      aquarius64, spot on!. 100% -Hell, 1000% agree of your comment.

  35. Cindy says:

    Wow, way to sound like a crass old asshole with nothing better to do than fight with crazy tweens on Twitter. They’re 14, what’s this guy’s excuse?

  36. Dhavy says:

    Toe Pick

  37. The Original Mia says:

    DB could have shown his support for KStew without bringing Pattinson up. Getting into a twitter war with the Twihards makes him look just as ridiculous as they are. In fact, it makes me think KStew surrounds herself with a bunch of twats. Like attracts like. Besides, he’s ruining my love of Doug Dorsey & Cutting Edge. Toe pick!

  38. Reece says:

    Since I agree with just about everybody here re creepy, not funny, etc., I will ask a different question.
    What the hell happened to his face?

  39. geekychick says:

    Eh, stupid of him if he cares at all, because the public will jump on the Stewart connection and it’ll just reflect negatively on her, and assume her team encouraged it. On the other hand, everyone has right on their opinion.
    What it boils down to?
    a) If you want any attention, just mention Kristen Stewart or Rob Pattinson in social media.
    b) hers and his Twifans are crazy. CRAZY.

  40. Relli says:

    Kasier, The Cutting Edge does stand-up today and will always be one of the best movies ever.

    There I am saying it, I am saying it out loud!

  41. JB says:

    Aside from wearing that unfortunate baseball cap, Rob comes off as the antithesis of a douche in interviews. And I have very sensitive douche-dar. He seems to be quite awesome (and I have never seen or read a single Twilight movie/book).

  42. Hotpockets says:

    I am almost inspired to create a fake twiiter account just to write tweets about Kstew and Rob, maybe throw some Angelina Jolie in there while I’m at it. People take things so seriously, especially about people they don’t even know, it almost becomes more entertaining just to troll these “fans.”

    • Lol says:

      Yup!!! It’s so funny in a sad way. That’s why I love twitter so much you get to see how many true losers there are in the world. I’m not even talking Bout teens.

  43. Holly Hobby says:

    He was on Castle 2 seasons ago. He played the LA cop when Beckett went to LA to hunt down the man who killed her mentor (can you not tell I am a Nathan Fillion/Castle fan?).

    He was barely recognizable in that episode. He had badly bleached blonde hair and the unfortunate face lift.

    Really he should have left it alone. Yes I watched Cutting Edge ad nauseum as well. I owned the vhs tape!

  44. Anon says:

    I like Rob, like his interviews. Who is this D.ouche B.ag anyway on Twitter?

  45. pwal says:

    Aside from The Cutting Edge stans, anyone else remember that Sweeney has always had a douchey rep? I seem to remember that his appearances on talk shows were unpleasant due to his behavior.

    Anyone?

    And like many have mentioned, Robert has conducted himself awfully well, especially since he’s fighting against morning talk show hosts who are overly anxious to cobble together a media-constructed pity party. His discomfort speaks to his unwillingness to use Kristen’s cheating as a career come-up. Good for him.

  46. Churlish bully says:

    So disheartening when you find out actors you like are such churlish bullies in real life.

    I gather D.B.’s a frequent Daily Show watcher and uses Twitter to spew his insecurities – Rob being the victim that night.

    He also seems to frequent an online Thesaurus. Oh the irony of someone who picks on people he doesn’t know, and uses the word “tard”, to call others’ reactions “inchoate”. Talk about being undeveloped! Time to stop Tweeting, D.B. – it’s not going to make you cooler or more successful to put others down (to anyone other than your fellow pr icks.)

    Some of us are fans of Rob Pattinson, like there are/were fans of D.B. Sweeney, aside from Twilight. Sorry to ruin that default “Twihard” comeback for you. Try again.

  47. ladybert62 says:

    Twihards react similarly to how the brangelina people react to criticism of trampie and goat-boy! ha ha

  48. Feminist Fran says:

    I agree, R-Patz is a MAJOR douche! I’ve seen him flirting with other girls. Why is Kristen getting all the bad press for cheating? The way I see it, men have been cheating on women for ages! It’s about time a woman beat a man at his game! GIRL POWER!!!

    • Crystal says:

      …I’m sorry, what now???

      ‘I’ve seen him flirting with other girls.’

      Where??? In your dreams ??

      This comment is silly and you should feel silly. Maybe when you leave middle school and have your first relationship you’ll feel differently.

      It’s interesting to see all of the fauxmenists who’ve crawled out of the woodwork to defend Kristen. Y’all stayed quiet when she was insulted for stupid sh*t like not smiling and bad posture (loads of the hate was misogynistic at that point) but when she f*cks and haters have a reason to hate up you make her into a victim and feminist icon…

      What in God’s name is going on ???

    • Anna says:

      Hooray for cheating trampires , they are the new leaders of feminism.

    • Joyce says:

      What do you mean you have seen him flirting. You mean you have seen photos of him w/other girls in tabloids. Have you actually or seen photos of him kissed other girls or photos of him doing what Kris did with Rupert? Have you seen him made out with other women?

    • marie says:

      you can’t possibly believe this? so because guys have been doing it for ages it’s now ok for women to do it too? really? that doesn’t make you a feminist, it makes you a douche.

    • Kate (newer one) says:

      Erm, I don’t think feminism is supposed to be about women hurting men, just because men have been able to hurt women in the past. That’s not liberation, that’s just a switch of oppressor. And feminism is most definitely not about hurting other women – Liberty Ross hasn’t really been the recipient of any sisterly solidarity here. How is that feminist either? “You go girl: trash a young mother’s marriage!” isn’t a war cry for the sisterhood I can really get behind.

      How about people, you know, try to be good to one another instead?

    • Aud says:

      Yeah, girl power all right. Um, sure whatever. Girl power in your mind is getting caught making out with a director two decades older than you, with only one film under his belt…who is soooo cheap, he can’t even pay for a hotel room, so has to resort to a car and the girl in question -who puts and whines about paparazzi – goes along with that.
      If that’s the ‘girl power’ of today, please help us.

    • Xas says:

      If you are the future of feminism, God help us. Question: Where is your solidarity with Liberty Rose -Maybe the real victim of this-? Also, making the same mistakes isn’t exactly better for your case.

      If you are sure of your statements, give us real proof of your statement -Photos, videos or testimonies-. Or you are only a pathetic K-Stew fan who’s making terrible excuses of her behaviour

    • Lol says:

      I Love how trolled everyone above just got.

  49. Joyce says:

    Sort of OT. Brad mentioned about D.B. when he was on The Inside Actor Studio. Look at where Brad is today and where D.B. today.

  50. eb says:

    Toe!!! Piiiiiick!

  51. Jordan says:

    Um, I guess he got some publicity but a grown man arguing with children on a social network is just sad. If he is friends with Kstew’s mom, I could see it if Rob had blasted Kstew but um, I’m confused what was so horrible about The Daily Show interview?? Maybe Kstew screwed DB too and he wants his place in history as well?

  52. Stacy Dresden says:

    I know this D Lister and I assure you it is HE who is the douche, not Robert.

  53. jwoolman says:

    He’s twice the age of the principals and probably three times the age of the tweeters he’s slamming. Seems as though he should be at least old enough to know better. He actually insulted both Kristen and Rob. Maybe he doesn’t quite realize how insulting his remark was about the daughter of the woman he was actually trying to impress. But why would he be stupid enough to insult someone who was very publicly cheated on and for what – being cheated on after too long a time? What exactly was his point supposed to be?

    He also needs to look at the dictionary again for the real meaning of his word for the day. He didn’t actually use “inchoate” correctly. Stick to the words you know instead of trying to impress the children, dear.

  54. Kate (newer one) says:

    I know his comment is kind of gross, given he’s known her since she was a kid and the “astride” thing is waaaay too graphic for comfort… but he is so hilariously capable when mocking the Twihards. I’m sorry, I just can’t hate anyone who makes me laugh this much.

    Given he’s known KS since she was about 12, from the fact Speak was actually released when she was just 14, and he’s good enough friends with her mom that he and she are followers on Twitter (neither follow many people) and he has just made a movie with her, too… I suspect he is pissed off with the state KS is in. Perhaps they expected RP to defend her in some way? I don’t know, at this point I think anger aimed at someone who does know the people involved, and does know what the situation is, is a bit daft. I mean we don’t – not really. If they start attacking Liberty Ross I lose patience, but anyone else, and meh. They have access to more data, they have more of a right to a viewpoint.

    • Anna says:

      I understand he’s trying to defend Stewart on this mess, but I disagree with the fact of trashing Pattinson in his statements. Pattinson was mature enough to deal the press without using Stewart or the pity vote on his favor. He’s making him a douche bag and a pathetic loser

      Take an instance of Jodie Foster. Maybe we can disagree with her points -I do-, but Foster was intelligent using arguments without mention Pattinson or Saunders. If Sweeney want to defend her maybe he can use a different way and not using a low blow.

      • Kate (newer one) says:

        Thing is, we don’t know the truth of that relationship. It could have been a showmance (I don’t think so, personally, but…) it could have been non-exclusive/open, in which case she was bad to Liberty but not Rob, or he could have cheated on her a dozen times, and this was her first. We just have no idea.

        What she did to Liberty Ross and those kids was bad, no question, but other than that, well, I can’t get morally outraged, because I just don’t know what is and was happening. This guy, it seems, does. So it isn’t my place to think he’s out of line. He may have very well founded reasons to be angry with Rob, he may be totally out of line, but none of us is placed to know that.

        Meh. I dunno. At this point, I want the story to die. She’s been on the cross long enough.

      • Anname says:

        Kate, if you want this story to die, then how can you defend this guy’s comment? He just fed the flames with more new stories to write. And it makes Kristen look even worse when people supporting her slam Rob. No one is really buying that.

      • Kate (newer one) says:

        Honestly, the Twihard implosion makes me laugh. It’s that simple. That’s all I’m defending, I already said his comment was inappropriate on more than one occasion (obviously not expecting you to be familiar with the others, though).

        But I do think people, me included, have a habit of forming judgements on what is really just gossip. So I find that a bit weird, yeah. Basically, this guy is entitled to a view, because he presumably knows what’s going on. None of us do. Yet we all express very strong views – as strong as his, if not stronger – and I don’t see anyone here being slammed for that except by rabid fans with an opposing viewpoint. That does seem a little odd to me: that we’re allowed to ho;d strong views and voice and defend them, and say we like/dislike either one or both, but engaged parties aren’t or everyone is outraged.

        Having said that, if I were a Stewart family member, my main criterion for a friend would be that they were totally closed-mouthed about my business. That’s the genuine A lister way for a reason.

    • Lol says:

      Kate…. Don’t worry you make perfect sense. It’s a gossip story but a story about real people. Nothing in Hollywood is real and we know this yet fold repeatedly get upset when others point it out.

  55. Carly says:

    this guy is an idiot, I’m sure Kristen appreciates him calling the guy she loves names, this only makes her look bad, can people that know her just shut up, they’re not helping her.

  56. Aud says:

    Who the hell is this DB anyway?
    Does his mother even know who he is?

    Seriously, who the hell cares what he thinks. I’ve never even heard of him or his one trick show (film). He only shows how much of a douche he is when he uses the word ‘actor’ to give him some status.

  57. Arkansas says:

    I don’t consider myself to be some “Twilight Troll” and I am not 13 years old or single with a cat collection. I think Mr. Sweeney needs to shut his da** mouth. For goodness sakes, someone get him a mirror and let him retreat back to where he came!

  58. mrsezc says:

    Jealous much?

  59. skuddles says:

    Okay that’s pretty amusing – I hate you?? Seriously?? Pattinson has some mighty dedicated fans from the sounds of it – and mighty young too based on some of those tweets. Careful DB, you’re about to get jumped by a mob of outraged tweeners 😀

    I have The Cutting Edge on PVR and yes, it totally holds up. Still a great movie. In fact I re-watched it just a few months back…

  60. Kiki says:

    I TOTALLY LOVED The Cutting Edge…lol…I can’t count how many times I watched this movie when I was younger, and actually just about a month ago it was on TV….Still Awesome.
    And yes, Twi-Hards are CRAZY when it comes to anyone even whispering anything they view as negative against their pretend God Pattinson….lol….If would get them all worked up too like DB….

  61. RHONYC says:

    LMMFAO!!!

    that shiz was hilarious! homz betta watch his back…dem some fightin’ words. 😆

  62. barb says:

    Oh my gosh that was funny! Those tweets…especially when they say ‘I hate you!’ I just literally laughed out loud. I LOVED the Cutting Edge back in the day. DB sort of comes off as a bit of an ass, but who cares. It’s hilarious.

  63. Boo says:

    how old is this man? Kinda pathetic that he is making fun of like 14 year old twihard fans. Sure they are ridic, but being in what looks like in his late 40´s or 50s its even more ridic for attempting to look clever by ridiculing teenagers.

  64. dee says:

    I don’t particularly care what this guy has to say but then nobody really cares what any of us have to say so it’s silly to say he should shut up cause he’s not relevant in the entertainment world. None of us are either and we get to hold forth about folks we don’t know just as much as we want so I guess he can too.

  65. Dahlia1947 says:

    He’s pathetic.

  66. D. Martin says:

    D.B. Sweeney called Rob a douche but did anyone bother to ask WHY? He played Kristen’s father in SPEAK and he just filmed K-11 that is directed by Kristen’s mother and stars her brother Cameron. So it’s fair to say he knows the family. Now, if Rob is the victim, why would he call him a douche? Does he know something we don’t?

    And he’s not backing down from this. So WHY? There’s more to this story…
