Stephen Colbert Says CBS Asked Him Not to Show Kristen Stewart’s Rolling Stone Cover; Stewart Says ‘F— You’ to the Homophobic Haters
Jaden Thompson Kristen Stewart has responded to critics of her recent Rolling Stone cover, which prompted controversy upon its release.
As a guest on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Stewart was asked why she believes the cover, which shows her with her hand inside her jockstrap, has received such negative attention.
Colbert initiated the conversation after revealing that CBS did not want him to show the cover on his show. “Now before I show this cover, I just want you to know and the audience to know that I think it’s a perfectly lovely cover,” he said. “We were asked by CBS not to show it.
They thought that would be not a good idea for us to show this, and I don’t know understand why. Because there’s the cover, right there,” he said, turning it around to face the audience. “I want to say that you look better in a jockstrap than I ever did,” Colbert added, before asking the actor to comment on the criticism the image received.
