As we discussed yesterday, Kristen Stewart’s mom, Jules Stewart, gave an interview to the Daily Mirror, a British tabloid/newspaper. Within the interview, in quotes directly attributed to Jules Stewart, Jules apparently confirmed that Kristen has a girlfriend, that Kristen identifies as bisexual and that none of it is any big deal. Many sites ran the interview like it was “OMG, Huge Confirmation!” but as I said… anyone paying even slight attention to Kristen over the past year already knew that she and Alicia Cargile were together. And now it’s looking like Jules maybe didn’t even say any of it. Hm.

No outing here! Kristen Stewart’s mom Jules is debunking a new story in British tabloid, The Mirror, which printed an interview with her that began trending over the weekend.

In the interview, conducted by Sharon Feinstein, Jules reportedly outed her daughter, supposedly saying, “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her.”

The only problem with the quotes? Jules never said them.

“I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood Museum,” she told Us Weekly. “It’s currently there under the LGBT banner on the third floor. She also asked me about my views on gay rights, which I was happy to express. Then we talked briefly about the fundraiser I am hosting for TheWolfConnection.org. Never ever did we discuss Kristen!”

Noting that she is a “huge supporter of gay rights,” Jules went on to acknowledge that she briefly spoke about Stewart’s personal assistant Alicia Cargile, whom The Mirror claimed is Stewart’s girlfriend.

“I said, ‘Yes, she’s a lovely girl,’” Jules said, when asked if she knew Cargile.

My first thought was… wow, if you believe Jules’ denial, that was a huge leap for the Daily Mirror. I mean, they openly attributed all of those quotes to Jules, it wasn’t a case of “sources close to Jules say yadda yadda.” And Jules admits that she did speak to the Mirror and that they asked her about Alicia and she answered, but she apparently never confirmed that Kristen and Alicia are together. Hm. I don’t know, you guys. On one hand, I wouldn’t put it past the Mirror to make something up entirely. On the other hand, the Mirror might have the receipts (like, audio of Jules Stewart saying exactly what they printed). We’ll see.
