Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart is facing criticism from officials at a leading US charity after she compared press intrusion to rape.

The "Twilight" star compared stardom to being raped and her dislike about photographers and said: "The photos are so... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can't handle it. I never expected that this would be my life," reports contactmusic.com.



The 20-year-old actress played a rape victim in the 2004 movie "Speak".

"Kristen Stewart's comments are regrettable. Portraying a rape survivor in the film 'Speak' should have led her to use a more appropriate metaphor to describe the intrusive nature of the paparazzi. Rape is more than an intrusion, it's a violent crime, that causes serious long term mental health effects for victims," said Katherine Hull, spokesperson of the Rape and Incest National Network charity.
