I agree. Her fans may have been willing to ignore her terrible acting in Snow White, or foot it off onto terrible directing, but that movie alone was enough to put her career in serious jeopardy. It is unlikely fans would come out just to see her after that, and they probably just saw that movie because the special affects made it look good. She WAS Bella Swan, and now she ISN'T. Now, she'll loose that last bit of Hollywood shine, which was the only thing she had left going for her to get people out for her next role. Even that she chose so poorly they wouldn't have: her third narcissistic role is a bit much, and while the Hunger Games actress is pretty boring and wooden, for some reason that role suits her a bit better. She still has the veneer of innocence, perhaps.
Meanwhile, Rob gave a winning performance in Bel Ami, and it looked very likely, even before the scandal broke, that the audience for critically acclaimed Cosmopolis was going to take an exponential leap. A reward for quality acting. He is going to go places on his own merit, and his fans just feel terrible for him that the person he loves isn't there to enjoy this time with him, because she was apparently too self-absorbed.

Who are we kidding? Her career was doomed before this because she is a horrible actress, is nothing special to look at, never smiles, does horrible interviews, has a bad attitude and as soon as the Twilight series is ended will get no more work. The only reason why she got the films she is in now is because of the Twilight wave and the movie makers figured they could cash in and ride on the popularity of Twilight and that people would go to see their movies because of the popularity of Twilight...as soon as that is over, her popularity will be over too. It is the same with some of the Harry Potter actors...a couple of them got other roles just because the Harry Potter movies were so popular and they decided to cash in on people's interest in those...I don't see many of those actors doing much of anything else...maybe Daniel and Emma might but the rest (with the exception of the older, already established actors) no.
