Kristen Stewart's Bizarre Burger Boycott Suggestion Draws Widespread Ridicule
Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart has become the target of intense mockery following her unusual proposal that people should cease purchasing burgers as a form of protest against the deportation of illegal immigrants. The 35-year-old star made the controversial remarks during an event in West Hollywood celebrating Architectural Digest's latest publication on Tuesday evening.
Stewart's Emotional Plea for Immigrant Protection
When asked by Architectural Digest what would break her heart if it disappeared from Los Angeles, Stewart responded with passionate intensity about immigrant communities. "Immigrants. I can't stand the idea of the dismantling of the culture that had a hand in making me who I am, which is so meaningless in the face of people's lives being completely unearthed and destroyed," she declared emphatically.
The Twilight alum continued with visible emotion, stating: "This is not who we are. Where I'm from, I don't identify with that right now." Stewart revealed she was "dying every day" contemplating potential solutions to the immigration crisis before posing a series of rhetorical questions that would soon ignite social media controversy.
The Infamous Burger Boycott Proposal
"Do we make movies about this? Do we throw all of our money at it? Do we stop buying burgers in the daytime? What do we do about this?" Stewart questioned during the interview. Her specific mention of daytime burger purchases as a potential protest mechanism left many audience members and subsequent viewers utterly perplexed about the logical connection between fast food consumption and immigration enforcement.
Stewart concluded her thoughts by emphasizing: "I can't fathom that it's happening until it doesn't happen. Los Angeles doesn't exist without all of us." A video clip of this exchange quickly circulated on social media platform X, accumulating more than one million views and generating substantial backlash against the actress.
Social Media Erupts with Criticism and Confusion
The online response to Stewart's burger boycott suggestion ranged from bewilderment to outright ridicule. One social media user expressed complete confusion, asking: "What in the hell does not buying burgers during the day even mean?" while another sarcastically commented: "So her big plan is… skip In-N-Out at lunch? Bold strategy. Meanwhile the rest of us are just trying to afford rent in the city immigrants actually keep running."
Multiple critics highlighted the apparent disconnect between Stewart's proposed action and its intended outcome. "What? Does she mean like hamburgers? Like, what does burgers have to do with illegal immigration?!" questioned one baffled observer. Another demanded: "Please walk me through the logic of how buying burgers in the day time relates to immigration."
Some responses took a more analytical approach to Stewart's activism. "The protest against illegal immigration enforcement is... Not buying burgers during the day? No tariff pressure. No legislative push. No voter registration drive. No legal fund," noted one commentator. "Just: skip lunch. Hollywood activism has truly reached its final form."
Fashion and Personal Reflections
During the Architectural Digest event, Stewart showcased her physique in a daring white satin bralette paired with matching trousers, completing the ensemble with a silver chain necklace and white leather bomber jacket. Her fashion statement, however, was quickly overshadowed by the controversy surrounding her immigration comments.
The burger boycott controversy emerges alongside Stewart's recent revelations about her emotional connection to Princess Diana, whom she portrayed in the 2021 psychological drama Spencer. Stewart confessed to feeling "haunted" by the late royal, telling the Daily Telegraph: "I still am. I can't drive round this city, and Paris for that matter, without thinking about her. All the love that poured out of this woman… I can cry about her at any moment."
Stewart initially resisted the Diana role, pleading with director Pablo Larrain to cast someone else due to physical differences, but ultimately embraced the spiritual connection Larrain emphasized. This deep emotional engagement with her characters contrasts sharply with the practical criticism she now faces regarding her immigration activism approach.
