"[Kristen] was my number one choice. I think there is no better Snow White in my opinion. She is great," Ross told the website at the film's London premiere on May 14.
"I mean, I've never watched a Twilight movie, so I don't really know, but I loved her in Sean Penn's film [Into the Wild] just for that moment that she's in it. Ever since then - she's got something very transfixing about her. We needed a modern, edgy, cool girl."
Ross is reported to have tweeted about the affair between Sanders and Stewart before deleting her account entirely.
Both Stewart and Sanders have released statements apologising for the fling.
Stewart insisted that she was "sorry" for hurting boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, while Sanders confessed to being "utterly distraught" by the fling.
