Kristen Stewart pulls out of MTV award ceremony to avoid meeting R-Patz

New York - Kristen Stewart may have avoided an awkward confrontation with her former boyfriend Robert Pattinson, by reportedly pulling out of the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

“Bosses were hoping that Kristen and Robert would be surprise guests before this scandal blew up,” the New York Post quoted a source as telling the Daily Mirror.

“The idea was for them to jointly present awards…but that has been changed,” the source said.

According to sources, the former lovers were set to appear as presenters, but Stewart will be heading to the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new movie ‘On The Road’ instead and Pattinson will reportedly attend the show alone.

The couple have not made a public appearance together since Stewart’s affair with her married ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ director Rupert Sanders was revealed.
