But now the film has had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival the actress has been forced to defend her role by those suggesting that it may shock her legion of Twilight fans.

Speaking to MTV on the red carpet at Sundance, Kristen said: "[The shocking thing is] maybe that it's not, like, shocking. It's really not a stripper movie at all. You never see me stripping."

Welcome to the Rileys tells the story of a troubled teenager (Stewart) who becomes a lap dancer as well as a prostitute before getting involved with a grieving couple who have drifted apart after the death of their daughter.
