Kristen Stewart on Kim Davis: "I feel really bad for her."

Kristen Stewart spoke to The Daily Beast about her new sci-fi film, Equals, and during the interview, she was asked about Kim Davis, the Kentucky Clerk who has refused to provide same-sex couples with marriage licenses. Kim Davis was recently released from jail, and she continues to refuse to serve marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but says that she will not interfere with her coworkers who will be issuing them. In fact, two women were married today on Davis' first day back on the job.

The Daily Beast asked Stewart:

"I wanted to go back to the issue of the denial of love. Have you been following the news of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who denied a same-sex couple their marriage license, was sent to jail, and has subsequently been martyred by many on the right-wing?"

Stewart answered:

"Yeah. Oh my god. Did you see her come out of jail? Honestly, it makes me so deeply uncomfortable. I feel really bad for her. Anyone who’s so closed off to things that are so apparent? Imagine what else she’s missing out on in life. I’m not making any grand statements about her personally, but if something so glaringly obvious, such as this subject…"

She went on to explain that it must "suck" for Kim Davis to be so fearful of the "unknown" and called her "sad."

"That’s why I feel bad for her. It’s like, 'Oh, buddy, that must suck.' That fear of the unknown cripples people, breeds hate, and it’s just very sad."
