Kristen Stewart “Racist” For Leaving Possible Will Smith Movie Focus, Says Site

Kristen Stewart is “racist” and stars in The Hunger Games, according to the sensationally misinformed webloid MediaTakeOut.

The blog, which regularly embarrasses itself with phony stories about Will Smith and others, now implies that Stewart exited the upcoming movie Focusbecause of Smith’s race.

What?!

Of course, MediaTakeOut begins by identifying Stewart as “that UGLY chick from The Hunger Games” — so you can see just how comically clueless the site is when it comes to basic Hollywood movie facts.

In any case, the site’s over-the-top headline declares that Stewart is “acting REAL RACIST Towards Will Smith!!!!”

How so?

Well, as Gossip Cop reported last year, Stewart had been on board for Focus opposite Ben Affleck.

Affleck ultimately left the project, and last week came news that Smith might be joining while Stewart had dropped out.

And… that’s pretty much it.

There have been reports that Stewart thought the already big age difference between her and the male lead (17 years with Affleck) was a bit too wide with Smith (21 years her senior), although Gossip Cop hears Stewart quietly walked away from Focus before Smith entered final negotiations.

But MediaTakeOut is not interested in the age difference or a thousand other factors that play a role in whether an actor or actress winds up in a movie.

The site is only interested in the serious and 100 percent unfounded implication that Stewart did not want to work with a black co-star.

It’s completely ridiculous.

We’re not surprised that MediaTakeOut would make up a silly story for page views, but calling Stewart “racist” simply because she’s no longer working on a movie that Will Smith might headline is truly low.

Earlier this month, Stewart said she was <“really excited” about the project, which was set to begin production in April.
