| | |  Emma Watson comments on bullying, Brown University & Perks of Being a Wallflower
Emma Watson updated her official website today to dispel a few rumours going around in regards to her stay at Brown University, what she may do her third year - her reps have already confirmed she will be transferring out of Brown this fall - and getting ready to film The Perks of Being a Wallflower next month in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Quote:
Dear all,
I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This '10 points to Gryffindor' incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair.
Please don't try and speculate about what I might do in September - no one can possibly know because I don't even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common).
I hope you all liked the new Harry Potter trailer. I am off to Pittsbugh soon to start "The Perks of being a Wallflower". I've just got back from hanging out with Stephen Chobosky (the director and writer), Logan and Ezra (the two other principal actors) and I already know this is going to be an incredible experience. I feel very lucky.
Hope you are all doing good.
Take care,
Love Emma xx.

I did hear about that rumor in The Daily Mail, I'd hoped it was false. I loathe bullies. I'm glad she set everyone straight!

It's a shame that some tabloid nonsense made Emma feel she had to do this. I don't know why people read those rags. I feel sorry for her.

I'm glad that was just a rumor. Bullying sucks on any level regardless of who you are and how you are being bullied. I don't think that media aren't going to apologize to her especially the tabloids because that's what they do
Its just good that she came right out and defended herself and her fellow students and her University

Hey guys, we live in a world of disinformation. That's why stupid rumors exists. It's sensasionalism, and it's lame. I study communications, and most of the time, even the great newspaper have it wrong. What a shame. I'm glad Emma send a message, it makes it clear now, even if we did knew it was false.

Isn't the fake topless picture of her circulated by some Brown students a form of bullying? Anyway, I'm glad to know the real reason for her leaving. Good for you, Emma!

| Set the record straight
I am glad that she is setting the record straight. Plus, if it did or didn't happen,... it doesn't matter because she is just trying to live life! Let her try to be as normal as she can be... because of everything she is doing, that is not necessarily possible.
Best of Luck Emma,

@HallowsSeeker yes it's a Form of bullying too,so it's not all true what Emma said.
I think Brown said she should make a Statement,that they won't loose a good Image

I didn't know there was speculation of her being bullied.
I just though she was leaving Brown due to work and wanting to change her major.

I'm glad that she had made a statement about it, I don't usually listen to rumors but I came across this one and I was very upset. Good luck Emma in whatever you chose !

It's nice to hear rumors being cleared up straight from the source. Oh and this guy that used to be in my school's drama club got a callback to be in Perks of Being a Wallflower! Maybe he can get me Emma's autograph lol

I knew it wasn't true because I saw the big rumor about Rupert drinking out of well dont want to say it lol, I pretty sure you know what I mean (start with the P) and the picture looks nothing like him it look like Ron from the HBP when he drink and then crash down on the floor. People dont have better things to do in their lives that why they make rumors. I only believe it when I hear it from the person when there are rumors about them.
