FKA Twigs: Fucking Robert Pattinson Worth It Despite 14-Year-Old Haters
You may have heard, but: critically-acclaimed avant garde British singer FKA Twigs is dating Twilight teen idol Robert Pattinson. He must be a fucking excellent boyfriend, because Twigs says the "positivity" she gets from R-Patz makes all the racist bullshit she gets from teen Twitter trolls "very worth it."
Once Twigs and Pattinson went semi-public with their relationship in September, hordes of racist teens called her "monkey" on Twitter. At the time, she responded directly:
I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week.

Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online.

Now in an interview with USA Today, Twigs says she still gets trolled by "14-year-old kids who should be in bed." She explains:
I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It's like a hangover. It's weird, I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing. [But] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects ... very worth it.
Aw.
For what it's worth, Rob's new haircut suggests that he and Twigs are getting along great.
