It was reported a few weeks ago that Emma Watson had dropped out of the prestigious Brown University because her class-mates bullied her about being a Harry Potter star.
But Emma has hit out at those claims, stating that she was never bullied by her class-mates, in fact they never poked fun, or took advantage of her fame at all:
"It made me so sad when all this stuff came out that I left Brown because I was being bullied. It made no sense at all. Brown has been the opposite."
The stylish actress added that despite rumours that students were shouting Harry Potter phrases at her, people at the University were actually really discreet and never tried to use her:
"I've never even been asked for an autograph on campus. I threw a party for nearly 100 students and not a single person put a photo on Facebook. Anyway, even if I was being given a hard time, I wasn't going to wuss out of university because someone said 'Wingardium leviosa' to me in a corridor, or 'Ten points for Gryffindor.' I've been dealing with the media since I was nine. If I can't stand up to a few people giving me a hard time, it's a bit pathetic, really. I've had so much worse."
So why did Emma REALLY drop out of college? Emma admits that she was trying to create a normal life for herself, but now she knows that's not possible:
"I was in denial. I wanted to pretend I wasn't as famous as I was. I was trying to seek out normality, but I kind of have to accept who I am, the position I'm in and what happened."Awh that's kind of sad, that's why being a child actor can be dangerous, you can lose a sense of 'self' very quickly. I know I will never let my children embark on an acting career until they are out of school.
