London: Real life Bling Ring victim Rachel Bilson has spoken out against Sofia Coppola`s decision to glorify the celebrity burglaries in her new film.
The 31-year-old actress was among a number of stars, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom, whose homes were targeted by a gang of young thieves between 2008 and 2009.
The case of the celebrity burglar bunch inspired Coppola`s new film ‘The Bling Ring’, starring Emma Watson and featuring victim Hilton in a cameo role, reported Daily Star.
However, Bilson, who reportedly lost her mother`s engagement ring in the break-in, insists she doesn`t agree with the decision to make the movie.
"I thought it was weird to glorify something that was so upsetting for a lot of people. It`s important to detach from material things, but the special, personal things I lost are hard to forget," Bilson said.
Bilson testified during the trial of real life gang members and revealed the burglary left her so scared, she couldn`t sleep in her bedroom for weeks afterwards.
"It took me a while to feel comfortable staying there. I wouldn`t sleep in my bedroom for about a month. And I was convinced that I needed to sell my house and get out of there, because I was very scared. But I`m still there," she added.
