The Daily Star reported that the actress has earned 7th spot on website EOnline.com end-of-year round-up for handling the controversy with dignity.

The editors at EOnline.com wrote about her, “What do you do when you screw up, and get caught? If you’re the Twilight actress, you apologise, put your head down and do your work, even if doing your work means putting you in front of the same people - the press and the public - who spent their summer scrutinising and criticising your every move. It may not be the classic feel-good tale, but it’s a blueprint nonetheless on how to take your lumps.” Some of the other stars who made the list are: R&B singer Frank Ocean, who “came out” as gay in July, and female punk band Pussy Riot, three members of the group were jailed in August for performing a protest song against Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Moscow church.
