Kristen Stewart Can Suck Our Buck Teeth Any Old Time

Kristen Stewart hasn't really said a whole lot about the time that she was caught cheating on Robert Pattinson with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, but this brand-new interview with Marie Claire is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to an explanation.

In the interview, Kristen said, "Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more ... feral."

Later, she explained what it was like breaking down the walls around her carefully-constructed public persona:

"My hair was such a crutch. I looked quote unquote 'sexy' no matter what. I could hide behind it. As soon as I didn't have all that hair, I had to let my face hang out. I felt more confident than I had in a really long time. And it felt really good. Maybe to most people long hair is prettier. But then what? Is your main goal in life to be desired? That is boring as f--k."

So Kristen was just about 22 years old when the intimate photographs -- below -- depicting her awkward "romance" with Sanders, so it's not a hard stretch of the imagination to consider that the "traumatic" period was likely related to the Sanders scandal. And while we definitely lament the demise of the Pattinson/Stewart relationship, it's a good ass thing that Kristen's "feral" side emerged, because she is just fierce as hell anymore, isn't she?
