Fanning is great friends with Stewart since they worked together on 'The Runways'.
And the 18-year-old star believes that nobody has a right to judge Stewart, who was in the eye of the storm over her affair with married director Rupert Sanders. The scandal almost ended her relationship with Robert Pattinson.
"Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicise the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It's like, 'Why do you think you are the authority to judge people's experiences?'," Fanning said in an interview ot InStyle magazine.
The actress, who started acting when she was very young, has worked with people like Steven Spielberg, Robert DeNiro and Denzel Washington in her 30 films old career.
Pondering over her success, Fanning said, "Why have I been able to stay sane in a sometimes insane world? The pure love of what I do. Making movies."
