The now 26-year old "Twilight" actress, Kristen Stewart, has once again hit the news as she was recently spotted with some very serious bruises and wounds on her face and knees. As of the moment, the cause of her injuries still seems to be a mystery. This has caused a lot of reports to claim different theories, with the latest one being that the injuries might just be a publicity stunt.

As reported by Inquisitr, Stewart was recently spotted donning the black and blue bruises in Georgia. There, she was casually walking with her rumored new flame, the Irish Victoria Secret Angel super model, Stella Mynes Maxwell.

Photographers and paparazzo were quick to spot the actress' bruises. But given that she was in town to shoot a new movie, it wouldn't be hard to believe that her injuries might just be for a role she is playing.

According to Yahoo, several reports had speculated that the injuries to Stewart's face and knees might have been caused by a scuffle with former girlfriend Anne Erin Clark, better known by her stage name, St. Vincent. The two of course just recently split up, so the theory is a possibility. Other possibilities includes a work-related accident, likely during her filming of different scenes, or perhaps a wild night out with friends.

Following her high-profile split with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, Stewart has been keeping her social life relatively out of the public's eyes. Kristen Stewart has since started dating women, which she previously mentioned was actually a good thing for her as it made her more open about herself and ultimately a happier person.

Robert Pattinson, on the other hand ,is currently engaged to the English singer, Tahliah Debrett Barnett, better known by the stage name FKA Twigs. However, there have been rumors that the two might likely be getting back together, if not romantically, then at least for a Twilight-related project that will see them reprise their roles as Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
