| | |  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.

How could the media think she was bullied out of Brown??? That's so not fair. Anyways, congrats Emma!! Good luck in Pittsburgh!

I thought this was a ridiculous rumor to begin with. Hopefully people will now let it go and focus on Dh Part 2 and Emma's other upcoming work.

That's odd, I never heard any sort of rumor that she was taking a break because of bullying.....

Could not agree more-smart and classy all the way!! Emma didnt have to come out w. a statement, she easily could have left it like that. But God bless her as always being the stand up girl that she is to defend others being smeared, like Brown University. This is what the American movie industry needs more of here- people like Emma! Here's to all of her upcoming projects!!! Cant wait for them all As for the rumor about Rupert-unreal is all I can say about the media-must have been a slow day and Charlie Sheen was doing his same garbage over so they decided to pick on Rupert. The media has much to be desired, seriously.

The stupid media should leave her alone. Thankfully, she has the courage to clear this up for herself.

Never of THAT rumor before.  I was wondering whether she was actually leaving Brown though. Glad she cleared things up.

Why doesn't the media stick to the truth instead of speculation?

I'm happy that she wasn't bullied. Because seriously people shouldn't bullied others because they are famous and stuff that's stupid

I'm glad that emma has explained everything. bullying is a bad thing, is not easy to suffer it. it is sad to see how the press speculates on everything...

I'm glad that she quells rumors rather than lets people speculate just to create a buzz. Whatever she does with school, whether going abroad or transferring or whatever, I'm sure she'll do an excellent job and have success in her studies. As for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I'm very excited that she's starring in the film, as I really enjoyed the book.
