Kristen Stewart faced much backlash for cheating on her boyfriend Robert Pattinson with married director Rupert Sanders this past July, but Stevie Nicks thinks the actress deserves a break.

“I was her age once, and exactly what happened to her happened to me two or three times, and whoever it was that I was with forgave me all two or three times," the Fleetwood Mac singer told Us Weekly.

The legendary rock icon’s own romantic life was put under the magnifying lens in her youth – her complicated relationship with band mate Lindsey Buckingham inspired their hit 1977 album “Rumours.”


Nicks, who is friends with the “Twilight” duo, continued to the magazine, "The fact is that when you're young and you've been in a relationship for a long time and something comes along that is a little bit overwhelming and magical, and you're kind of in another situation with someone else . . . Things happen."

The 64-year-old thinks that critics should go easy on the 22-year-old starlet. "I really always want to say to people, 'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.' It's not anything the rest of us haven't done."

She thinks that if Rob and Kristen are strong enough, they can move past the scandal. "If what they have is that special they can overcome it, then good for [them]," she said.

It's funny to me that she was forgiven "all two or three times." I'm thinking the "all" covers three or more, rather than "two."

I do love her honesty though.

packing up, shacking up...

hmm, so maybe Lindsey didn't make that up just to make her angry. remember the BBC Don't Stop doc: how would she, nice prudish Stevie ever do anything like that?

[Jondalar]

Don't blame it on her, blame it on her Wild Heart - is the motto here.

NO STEVIE. NO WE HAVE NOT ALL CHEATED ON OUR LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS MARIED BUT THANKS FOR CONTRIBUTING FURTHER TO THE MORAL DECLINE OF SOCIETY.
...wow, I've been a fan for decades, but I'm truly discusted by this. Funny it was okay for lindsey Logan to be blown out of the water for being messed up and Stevie was never all "cut her a break we've all done it" (which just for the record not everyone has done hard drugs either Stevie) I just hope she's not " praying to the commercial gods" to see What young current starlet to name check next. One of the things I always admired about Stevie is she didn't involve herself in all the Hollywood gossip. And just let the music speak for itself. Latley its like lets talk about Kanye. West and nicki manaj.. come on Stevie your above all this

Perhaps I have a more liberal view than most, but I fail to see how Stevie's statement could be taken with anything less than a grain of salt.

People seem to forget that so-called scandalous behavior has been going on longer than the past 10 years. Now we just have frothy-mouthed media camping out at celebrity doors eager to spread the news on the internet. Was it romantic that Spencer Tracy kept his mistress living in the guesthouse? How's it different? Because they were old? Or how about FDR dying with his mistress by his side rather than his wife? Were they contributing to the moral decline of our society? Or did they just have a better time at keeping secrets?

Sorry, OT, but it irritates me when people expect Stevie to be some sort of moral compass. She's a rock star that I believe has a good heart. Nobody's perfect. If she were, her lyrics would be much less interesting.

[WildHearted]

Look, I don't see how this is any surprise that she feels this way. Take a glance back at her public dating history....

The problem is that she is projecting her own experiences and qualities onto Kristen, and she is projecting her own opinions about it onto the general public.

I am sure her message was meant to be: "every body makes mistakes, and she is just a kid, so if she and rob can work it out then good for them."

But in true Stevie fashion, she romanticized it and like I said related it to her own choices which have been clouded by drugs and decades passed...

It's not that big of a deal.

Not to mention that I have rarely seen her name-check someone without first being asked about it. You know, except for Janis and Jimi

I did think that was a good way she ended it. She didn't even say they should work it out. She just said it if they can overcome it, great.

I was just hoping the part about her being "friends" with them wasn't actually true.

Hahahaha - you crack me up, but I do have to agree with this!

[Thought this had some funny comments]

'Rob should be prepared to forgive Kristen two or three more times': Stevie Nicks joins the debate

Unfortunately nobody's actually debating the debate any more. But it's still always nice to hear what Stevie has to say

We'd actually forgotten about the whole Kristen-licking-an-old-man's-face drama from the beginning of the summer. Half because we're too distracted by Taylor Swift licking a One Direction's boy face. And half just because we're nice people, and don't like to hold grudges / struggle to retain information over long periods of time.

But while Kristen and Rob fly off on holiday for a few days of wearing their baseball caps backwards and looking unenthusiastically loved up, Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks has decided to give her two cents about the whole cheating scandal. Which is unnecessary nice.

"I was her age once, and exactly what happened to her happened to me two or three times, and whoever it was that I was with forgave me all two or three times," said Stevie. "The fact is that when you're young and you've been in a relationship for a long time and something comes along that is a little bit overwhelming and magical, and you're kind of in another situation with someone else ... Things happen."

Which is the kind of thing that Rob will just love to hear.

Stevie added: "I really always want to say to people, 'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.' It's not anything the rest of us haven't done. "If what they have is that special they can overcome it, then good for [them]."

The comments aren't as completely random as they might sound though - Kristen and Stevie are actually mates. In the way that you're mates with somebody 42-years your senior.

In other news, Fleetwood Mac are going on tour again in 2013, but probably aren't going to release a new album.

Which means we're back to the drawing board regarding what to buy our dad for Christmas.

What was that line from If You Were My Love?
"Everyone must remain faithful....however momentarily"

It's not. At the Twilight premiere, she said she had never even met them before. I don't know where the reporter pulled that one from.
