Last night, US Weekly magazine alleged that Kristen Stewart cheated on her Twilight co-star and long term boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, with Rupert Sanders, the 41 year old director of the actress' latest release, Snow White and the Huntsman. After the initial news broke, major media outlets ran amok with the rumor, publishing both speculative pieces and quotes from "sources close to the couple."

The claims are not implausible—the two undoubtedly worked very closely while filming the movie—and, the story is accompanied by some very incriminating photos. And today, Kristin Stewart released this statement to People: "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry." Wow. It'll be interesting to see how she'll publicly handles these next few difficult weeks.
