Kristen Stewart may feel that the paparazzi are like "rapists," but she doesn't seem too bothered by the fact that she is getting stalked by a creep.

The Chicago Sun Times (via Celebslam) reports that Kristen is being stalked by a nut job who sends her disturbing letters and shows up at events she attends. However, the real problem appears to be that Kristen isn't talking her stalker too seriously:

She insists that no crazy 'will keep me from living my own life [...] But this isn't like the paparazzi -- who Kristen understandably hates because they are so intrusive. These people can be dangerous.

Indeed stalkers and overly obsessed fans can be very dangerous and Kristen's friends and family are reportedly worried sick that she isn't being more careful around her stalker.

On the one hand, you can understand how Kristen would want to live her life and show her stalker that she isn't intimidated by their nutty antics. Then again, stalkers sometimes cause damage to the famous person they are stalking.

Hopefully Kristen, who is notoriously private, will play it safe.
