Kristen Stewart Suing Joan Rivers Over Robert Pattinson Affair Joke?
Kristen Stewart reportedly threatened to sue Joan Rivers over a passage in the comedian's "Diary of a Mad Diva" book.
Rivers, who is renowned for making controversial comments about other celebrities, takes aim at Stewart's 2012 affair scandal involving her then-married "Snow White and the Huntsman" director, Rupert Sanders in the forthcoming book. The "Twilight" actress, 24, reportedly had her attorney fire off a legal letter to the E! host asking that the passage be removed ahead of it's July 1 release date.
"I am now being sued by Kristen Stewart," Rivers told photographers in a video obtained by TMZ.

"She obviously didn't read our disclaimer, which is that it's a comedy book," she added.
Stewart made headlines back in 2012 when she admittedly had an affair with Sanders, 43. At the time she was involved with her "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson which made the scandal even more shocking.
Rivers has reportedly refused to get rid of the passage despite threats of a lawsuit. In the book, which is reportedly written in satire, the comedian suggests that promiscuity boosted Stewart's acting career.
"Many stars only do one thing well, of course, the best one-trick pony is Kristen Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to juggle directors' b----," Rivers writes.
The lawsuit report comes days after Pattinson, who dated Stewart for five years, revealed that he has moved on from the "Cloud of Sils Maria" star. The pair split last year in May, however, they are still in contact.
The British actor is currently promoting his latest project "The Rover" and he was asked about his love life in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight."
When asked about whether he is currently dating someone special, the actor candidly replied "no."
The reporter pressed Pattinson to confirm whether or not he is single at this time which prompted him to giggle.
"Yeah, so exciting!" he revealed.
