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:
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.
