Twilight star Kristen Stewart apologized this week for comparing being accosted by the paparazzi to “being raped.” Several advocacy groups for rape victims took umbrage at Stewart’s choice of words, including the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, for which she has been a spokeswoman. “I made an enormous mistake,” the 20-year-old actress told People.com. “‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought.”
