Emma Watson is smart. And famous. And everyone knows you're not allowed to be both. And when you factor in that she's also in possession of legitimate talent to back up her fame? Well, that's almost too much for a bunch of jealous teenagers to bear. Which is why, after Watson announced last month that she planned to become the anti-James Franco and take a break from school to focus on her moviemaking career, it didn't take long for rumors to surface that the party line was really just a cover story.
The supposed real reason for her departure from Brown University? The mean boys and girls who comprised the freshman class were supposedly so merciless in their taunting of the A-lister that the Harry Potter star had no choice but to leave the school. Poison ivy, indeed. But is it true? Was Emma really bullied out of Brown? Get those spells ready, because this rumor is… So false! While the rumor mill recently heated up with reports that Watson would be teased with comments like, "Three points for Gryffindor!" whenever she answered a question correctly or attempted to participate in class, the actress herself denied those reports several months ago. In an interview with Time magazine back in November, the 21-year-old fielded reader questions and one of them was about the supposed utterances thrown Emma's way. "No," she replied when asked if such bullying comments were ever thrown her way. "Actually, I'm really glad that he asked. That has never happened to me. Maybe someone said it under their breath, but I've never, ever had anyone say that when I've been in a class." Watson's rep confirmed as much to E! News, saying, "There is absolutely no truth in this rumor whatsoever."
However, it turns out there is truth to another rumor—specifically, the one about Emma leaving Brown altogether. While the actress announced last month that she would be holding off on continuing her education while she finished up some films, it turns out, she's only holding off on continuing her education at Brown, and, per her rep, will be transferring schools. But not because of bullying! "Emma has enjoyed her time at Brown tremendously and made many friends there who she keeps in constant contact with. She has now decided to change university, but not for the bullying, as that is just completely untrue. She has just decided to continue with a different course. But, for reasons of security I am not prepared to divulge which university she will be attending." That's OK, the rumor mill has no such qualms. The most recent round of rumors has Watson pondering a relocation to (where else?) New York City, with Columbia or New York University likely being her top picks.

OMG!! i will literally die if she comes to NY to study!!! LOL
meh, just admit it that she isn't up for ivyleagues level.
It's ok... And to Anon above, i seriously don't care if she's up to ivy league. It's not as if it was a shame... C'mon, she's not Hermione, she's just a girl who likes to learn. it doesn't mean she as brilliant as hermione.Going to university is a god thing whatever the university is. I won't go to Ivy league or to oxford or Mcgill or aything else, i'll still have my BAC as much as the other people. Doesn't mean i'll have a less nice life because of that.
I love the brown, the brown is the best in the world. blah blah blah
So she should stay in Brown even though she knows she won't be able to follow every courses because of her schedule just to please you? Jealousy is ugly.
emma should study in their country, those in brown are vindictive
Why do you say they're vindictive?
Brown believes the transfer as betrayal or failure
You see i've told you... I see her through...She'll change Uni,then forget Uni,then change the country and forget her words about being "patriotic",move to USA for continuing her career,and became just another particular Hollywood actress...I can tell everything what will happen in her future life...She's not any kind of special...She's still young and still learning to live,in this real world and world of fame,fashion,and show business...Not a surprise if she were like that from the beginning(of her life or career,no matter)...Just another particular starlet...O tempora,o mores...I known it from the first time i've seen her interview in journal in 2001.But i still hope she'll not forget her real self...
i wasnt aware you knew her real self, serge..
serge you are seeing?, you have the gift?.
some rumors were true about college and missing the most important.
with private tutors. who does not?
in New York will have a normal life?, everything was planned. the only thing she cares about is fame. she is a hypocrite
She needs a course that Brown can't offer her but that NYU can. Where is the hipocrisy in it? If she really goes to Gallatin it's because their plannings are very flexible which will be easier for her to continue her career. She probably just realised that cinema won't wait for her to get her licence. If she wants to act she has to do something now. It's no big deal if her career became as important as her studies.
Some people keep saying that those who are 'defending' Emma think she's perfect. I personally think that it's those who are always complaining about her who do otherwise they wouldn't critisize everything she does. She's NOT perfect. She might lie, she might contradict herself... and then? We all do.
Well,the only thing she has to do is to show people her real face and realize that her fans isn't only those kids who fell in love with that tomboy Hermione.She have to understand that people seeing her through what and how she's doing.Maybe nobody knows her,but if she's so "good & kind" then why to lie,play a "bad girl",
starlet,do all what's she doing? She shouldn't lie and stop being a hypocrite.She wants to move to usa forever?Became real actress,starlet,hollywood lady n/1,second Marilyn Monroe?No problem,but no americans lying,and nobody hides nothing,they doesn't care about their "real faces" and not afraid to tell truth about themselves.Take a look at all them Hilton/Lohan/other american show business divas.You ever seen them hiding their interests?She have to do all of this because she has millions of fans and other people all around the planet who love,respect,believe,and trust her.It's inhumanely to be such "bad" person when you have quarter of Earth population who knows you,thinks good about you,loves,adores,respects,and believes you/in you.She had her rights to be like this when she was "normal",and no one known her.But not now when she has fans,followers,and lots of other people who's worrying and caring about her.It's disgraceful.
P.S.More than 2 000 000 fans on Facebook.More than 800 000 followers on Twitter.More than i guess 12 or more millions fans all over the planet.And guess half of Earth population seen her on posters,on TV,anywhere else and knows her.My gosh,she's world-famous in 21 years!!!I can't imagine 50 000 people in same place,but THOSE numbers are driving me crazy O_O...She was just a little bit less famous in a beginning of her career.We all can't and will never imagine or understand such a popularity.When i look on my friends list on FB and helplessly trying to remember all of my relatives both alive and dead,who knows/known me or not,i'm having headache!But even this number isn't bigger than i think only few hundreds,not more.But how could i believe/understand that near 12 000 000 of people knows me?O_O O_O O_O O_O And THAT'S why Emma SHOULD reveal ALL the truth about herself.(guess after a few this-like comments Eden will disable comments on the blog)))
If people are naive enough to believe everything a person says it's their fault. NOBODY will ever say everything about them simply because they don't know quite well who they are. She's only 21 for God's sake! We're the same age and there is no way I can describe who I really am or what I really want. It's normal at 21 to always change your mind. It's not being a hypocrit, it's being indecisive. And in what is she a bad girl? Does she hurt anyone in any way? People should really stop considering celebs as role models or examples. It's stupid.
1 - unfortunately it is an example to some.
2 - I'm also undecided. but I am not the victim ago.
3 - "celebrity as a model or example " strange words for someone who has a blog dedicated to a celebrity.
HYPOCRISY is an unconscious self-contradiction: a state of incongruence between one's professed beliefs and feelings and one's actual beliefs and feelings, or an application of a criticism to others that one does not apply to oneself.
Hypocrisy is not simply a lie, saying something which one knows to be false. Neither is it simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler
hei serge tell us how will her love life will be. i predict she will have scandals with some men at the same time and going through divorce in the future. what do you think? just like you have said o also can see her leave uni in the future and everthingelse you said.
i'm afraid there will be some backlash from brown students. perhaps we will hear tell a story about emma watson life in brown uni after this. but i highly doubt that. brown students seem either too rich and priviledged or too smart and busy to care about her. The only thing that made her stand out there is just the fact that she's in hp movies. And lots of them probably don't read or watch hp so mostly they don't know her either.
If she changes, it's her problem, not our!! That's all, she is living her life.
I'm not a fan of her, absolutely not, but what she does it's her problem!
maybe be transferred to the University of bangladesh.
oh my gosh!! People here are so crazy!
Just face the fact that you'll never find out how Emma Watson truly is as a person. People who truly know her do not come on this blog!
As I already said. Often you don't know if people in your surroundings are real or not. So why care about the honesty or truth of a person who for one thing is in the show biz and for another lives very far away from you?
@Eden: totally right: at that age people change their minds. Emma just got the room to change her mind all the time and do what she wants. It's not like she had much choice while filming. In that way she is a couple steps behind us.
make up your own mind and think about what kind of person you want to be. Independent from any starlet.
she this defined, their only motivation is the fame.
Hi guys... remember me? lol. The comments I am reading about hypocrisy makes me tingle. But ina good way like "I told you so." But I'm a hater, right? Not someone who sees emma for what she is. Somone trying to show you guys you're wasting your time on her. Hermione is wonderful, emma is pretty but in so many ways emma is ugly to me. I know some one you just can't stand me
Ce echee est completement tordu je vien d aller voir son blog je veut bien comprendre qu on aime pas emma mais a ce point la ca fait peur !!!!
lol the irony of echee telling us were wasting our time. almost feel sad for her, unable move on...
the strange thing is that she has not shown indecision to his 21 years with lancome, Perks of Being a Wallflower, etc.
indecision, indesición. cruel world.
she's not very indecision regarding $$$ that for sure. i think that the reason she canceled her plan to leave harry potter in the past, higher salary in the new contract. it's always money..money.. and money. it would be not a problem if she just admit it, not concealed with her passion in 'education'. it's the second time, last time she want to leave hp for education too. money lure her back then, money lure her back now. now it's seem she just pursuing degree, not education it self.
like serge said, she's just another actress out there. let's see how she will fare in hollywood. i'm not fan of her over acting, i prefer more subtle acting. she tend to over acting it's so obvious that she's acting it look so fake.
lol @ you to nicholas. you seem don't understand what a hypocrite means is btw.try google. it's quite handy.
I know she's taking a break, but it also kinda saddens me that she chose to take a break over school work to appear in fashion magazines and to shoot that lancome add.
Last year she talked how much she wanted to go to college. It shows a lack of dedication. I hope she gives it her all next year.
I don't know why people always say that she left Brown for fashion. She has Perks in a couple of weeks. She has to dance, to sing and to talk in an American accent. She has to rehearse for that (singing and dancing needing probably lots of time). And there is the HP promotion. Rupert and Dan can't and someone has to do it. And she knew she didn't want to follow the courses she was following in Brown anymore so why continuing? She'll be back to studies next autumn, I don't know why some people are disappointed. It's not even their business in the first place.
Emma watson is all about fame and money. Im sorry guys but I like you love Potter. Great story. Wonderful. The character of Hermione is endearing. Yes Emma watson is pretty with a good fashion sense. She does come off very sweet and down to earth. BUT it's all an act. She is a media hyped and self created celebrity that manipulates her fans and the media. She uses her looks and the character of Hermione to do it.
I know hate me, say I need a life and that "no one really knows emma" but it does not take much to figure out how and who she really is by paying a little more attention to what she says and what she does and a little less on her looks and the fact she was in the best movie franchise ever.
Sorry to be so long here, apologizes Eden and everyone else but I see straight through Emma for what she is and I have no fairytail thoughts of what i think she is. I find her daft bore that is more of brand than an actual person in public. She's like a robot programmed to act a certain way. I can't stand her. I can;t stand her like I can't stand the Paris Hilton's as well.
emma watson threaten to leave the series "HP" using the excuse of the university, but for "lancome and Perks of Being a Wallflower" she forgets the university.
you are wrong "paris hilton" is garbage, drug addict, whore, etc. but has a quality she does not hide it, at least it is defined in life
anon above me are you saying paris admits who she is while emma hides it? if so,
@E-Chee
spending so much time on someone you can't stand seems like the most pointless thing ever. Why do that if you could spent your time on so much more things that would be useful to you? I really don't get it. Is your life that boring?
I really dont get why you care what i do? Is your life pointless you have to ake such comments? What is it to you? Is it because you can't stand what you read because it actually makes sense. Are you in denial? Or are you one of those blind minions that worships the ground Emma walks on. You like being lied to? You like making Gods out of mortals just because they were in a movie or is photogenic? You are the one that shuld answer those questions.
I don't want to begin to argue or anything because I find it very boring, but I also do wonder why making a blog and spending time for a person you can't stand. Why her? There are so many people in the Disney world who's image is way more goody-goody than Emma. (not saying you should hate them). I just don't think she did anything to deserve any hate. Not liking her, I understand. But not being able to stand her I don't understand. And coming in blogs and forums where there are pictures of her everywhere won't help you XD
As long as she's true to herself and her close ones I really don't think we should mind. (We will never find out the above)
My thought of Emma being an act is: If you aren't the media will eat you. You can't be a (I'll just use the word) wallflower in the show biz. They'll tear you in peaces.
lol @ those above. Mindless trolls.
@E-chee
First of all, no my life isn’t pointless. Also, whether or not I worship Emma (for the record, I don’t) has nothing to do with it. I just often see you post here and I’ve been to your blog and I just couldn’t help but notice the amount of work you’ve put into it. To think someone would put such an awful amount of time in someone who he/she(?) can’t stand seems really pointless to me. Just imagine what you could’ve done during those hours (probably days, weeks). I really don’t want to make you feel bad or anything, but it just doesn’t seem very healthy to me. So here’s my advice: stop wasting your time on Emma, go out some more, study some more, I don’t care, but please go and do something useful. Maybe you can follow Eden’s example and make a blog on someone who you do like. I think it would spare you and a lot of people from much irritation.
the princess could not with the brown. ummmmm
Pourquoi as-tu enlevée mon commentaire? Il n'était pas offensant du tout!
Désolée, comme je l'ai expliqué une fois, parfois blogueur prend des commentaires pour spam alors qu'ils ne le sont pas.
Haha, pas de problème! Tu peux enlever un commentaire si c'est possible, parce qu'il sont les mêmes. C'est un peu stupide comme ça.
lol @ soefoe
I don't buy this bully thing at all. It would not surpirse me if this was a plant by her people to make Emma look like a victim instead of a fame driven actress because for years this girl has done nothing but act as though she wants nothing to do with fame or money even as she attached herself to Butberry and now Lancome while boasting about her money and complaining every step of the way as to how hard it is to be famous. She left Brown for Lancome.
can you post the quote from emma denying the bullying? or provide a link? Im talking emma, not "one of her reps said."
what difference does it make? do you even know what a representative is or what they do?
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2032143,00.html
there you go anon since its so important to you, third question
I got error page not found on that link
either youre lying pathetically or having technical problems, loads fine for me.
the quote is actually in eden's article, second paragraph toward the end.
"In an interview with Time magazine back in November, the 21-year-old fielded reader questions and one of them was about the supposed utterances thrown Emma's way. "No," she replied when asked if such bullying comments were ever thrown her way. "Actually, I'm really glad that he asked. That has never happened to me. Maybe someone said it under their breath, but I've never, ever had anyone say that when I've been in a class."
@ anon above. how much do you pleasure yourself while looking at photos of emma? Just wondering because it seems not to be relieving any stress in your life since a simple question was asked where did you hear a denial from emma and that the person got an error on page respone with your link.
Lighten up you loser. Some of your watson fans are mental to the core if anyone finds anything wrong with emma. You are the people that need a life and are obsessed. Most certaintly this anon who gets bent so easily. Do me a favor uptight anon, look in your mirror and say piss off.
lol aww u mad now?
Just more sane then you are sweety =)
but u mad tho...its ok
@ echee: I think you're being a little too dratic. Emma is pretty sure not only the sweet, charming always nice Girl (you know what I mean) but I would say she is definately not 100% totally the opposite of what she portrayes in the media.
I think Emma just can't say no if a great opportunity comes her way. I think she is just figuring out what she want's at the moment in a very wide sense. figuring out her priorities.
In general I think it's a game of good or bad luck. If the media decides to be nice to you, you're fine. If they don't you're screwed.
she's living her life, she has every right to change her mind everyone does. what's the big deal about transferring uni LOL.. i think Emma fans know very well that she's not perfect those haters here are the one's who picture her as "Perfect Girl" cause they complain and criticize her for every move/decisions that don't meet their expectations of her..
I recall that she threatened to leave "hp" with the excuse of the university.
Team "hp" reshuffling its schedule of filming for her to attend his college irreplaceable.
why did not have these requirements with lancome or perks?.
simple, give this girl lot of $$ , and all is well, all can be negotiated.
forecast a "ph in new york and a maserati" and most important parties, parties, parties.
ahhhhh life is so hard.
No one will know if it was bullying but she sure is not into education as much as she says she is. She has never taken education serious. Why would she? She's set for life. I sucks that many people can't get a good education but emma can buy her way in and then play games with it.
or my god my brother always wanted to go to college, but we are poor, luckily he won a scholarship. as someone can apply for a university without having the slightest idea that it will study?.
I'm an uneducated but I have a decision to help my brother for him to be someone in life.
emma watson, why you is not engaged in show business and leaves a university position to someone who really wants to study and get a college degree.
my brother is a fan of emma..... the life sucks¡
Ana, I'm sorry for your story but I don't think you should blame Emma for that. I'm entering Uni next year and it's of course expensive (not as much as in the US, but it's expensive anyway) Ans I always found nice that Emma went to uni but seriously it's possible to change minds. My sister's entering Unio next year but she's not sure which programs she want's exactly (Génie Minier ou génie géologique) and she's probably transfer if she don't like her first choice. A lot of people do that, ans a lot of people take breaks during uni. I might do this as well to travel while i'm young enough to do so.
Just saying, Emma's not a liar or a hypocrite or a bastard because she left uni. She makes her own choices as we all make ours. the only diference is that we can see all of her choices while we can't see everybody's choice at all.
Oh and Eden, I suggest you to disable de comments for a while. I went to a website who did that because there was too much harrassing and bad comments and stupidities and it worked really well. The non-sense arguing stopped and people just began to read the news only to read the news, ad not to bitch on it. :) Now the commentaries are back and everyone is commenting calmly.
Yeah, I'm thinking about this for a while now but I'm just hoping some people will understand how ridiculous they are and that most of their comments are useless. I have faith! XD
I think the only reason anyone would want to silence comments is because some of those comments don't adhere to other's point of view. Sign of a communist. And just shows you Watson's fans are mental. If they don't here positive things they go bonkers. Nothing bad is being said here. What's wrong with some of you people?
the truth hurts but not offend....¡
I don't know about the Anon above me when I say I'm thinking about unabling comments, but if I want to unable it it's because we have the same conversation over and over again on each articles Lexa and I are posting. It's just impossible to have a decent conversation anymore because either some people refuse to see any good in Emma or some others can't stand stand someone negatively criticizing her. I don't see the point of comments if people can't talk about anything but fat, hipocrisy, fake... It's just very annoying.
I'm a fan of emma watson and I love it, but I recognize his constant contradictions, I think she is making a mistake in leaving the brown. fame is ephemeral, we all know that NY is going to distract, and I doubt that NYU has the same quality of study of the Ivy League.
That's my opinion. going to accuse me of troll?, or ridiculous? or what?.
emma watson is free to do what she wants is her life, the problem is that in every interview she ever heard of a normal life. That really upset because it seems to be making fun of people.
she, must be defined in life, she wants the fruits of fame .. but want privacy and normalcy, that is impossible unfortunately.
Omg anon above my post I love you!! I feel the same way!! And she doesn't want to work for it. She complains every step of teh way with everything. I even read her gripes as to how much work is needed to be done behind the camera when she was designing for people tree. Oh shut up already!!
so this article calls out jealous teenagers and then says the rumor is false. I don't get it?
i think emma is lacking of dedication in her character. May be that's why we find so many contradictions in what she said and what she did(some people call it hypocrisy) and she's an actor. They're lying everyotherday. As soon as hp end she want to strip assosiation from hp (cutting hair to get rid of hermione image, don't wanna hang out with hp casts, if that dm article was true, somehow judging from her character i believe it's true, she goes as far as become mad if hp references being mentioned in her present) she like the idea of designing for people tree then complaining again about the hardworking, sure she must have been thingking that her job was only drawing, how naive, ..or stupid from her part. Anyway this girl just want to have fun, like always. I can't believe she's twenty one, i thought she's still twelve judging from her whinning way. But as long as she's not pulling lohan, it's her life anyway. Just remember to take everything she say with a grain of salt, after all she will just contradict it in the end...again.
88 comments? It took me some time to read them. Didn't emma say she was taking a leave? Now she's leaving for good? I could be wrong.
Yep, she's leaving for good Brown to follow a course that is not teached there.
Mais évidemment, si les rumeurs de harcèlement étaient vraies, elle ne le dirait pas... Aucune actrice ne veut confirmer ce genre de rumeurs!
( Ce n'est pas mauvais... mais je ne crois pas que ce serait un bon coup de pub et donc ses agents doivent garder ça secret si la rumeur est vraie.)
Parce qu'il y a encore des gens qui pensent que la rumeur est vraie? O_O
Beaucoup de gens pensent encore que la rumeur est vraie, ça circule encore en MASSE sur twitter!
