Rebel Wilson said Australian newspaper, Sydney Morning Herald, had put her in a “very hard situation”
Rebel Wilson says an Australian paper put her in a “undeniably challenging” position after fans blamed the paper for compelling her to uncover her relationship with Ramona Agruma.
The On point entertainer posted a selfie with her “Disney Princess” accomplice on Instagram, a day prior to the Sydney Morning Messenger detailed it knew about the relationship and allowed Wilson two days to remark.
Via web-based entertainment, LGBTQIA+ activists and others blamed the paper for driving Wilson — who has not yet emerged — to emerge.
The Messenger denied constraining Wilson and said they were “basically clarifying some pressing issues”.
In his most memorable remarks on the discussion, Wilson answered Australian columnist Kate Doak, who blamed the Envoy for giving two days’ notification that it was eliminating the entertainer.
“It was a very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace,” Wilson tweeted.
Thanks for your comments, it was a very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace ??
As indicated by the paper, confidential reporter Andrew Hornery had put inquiries to Wilson about her relationship “with an extreme focus on safety and regard”.
“Serious mix-up. Wilson picked to gazump the story, posting about her new ‘Disney Princess’ on Instagram early Friday morning,” reporter Hornery then, at that point, wrote in an article distributed Saturday.
As shock based via virtual entertainment, Messenger manager Bevan Safeguards shielded the section.
“We would have posed similar inquiries had Wilson’s new accomplice been a man,” Safeguards wrote in an article named, A Note on Dissident Wilson, on Sunday.
A Herald article about Rebel Wilson has promoted some attention and I’ve been reading this feedback closely. In the interests of transparency I wanted to offer the Herald’s view on this issue.
By Monday morning, the initial gossip column piece had been removed and a new column published in which Hornery admits to having “made mistakes over Rebel Wilson”.
“I genuinely regret that Rebel has found this hard. That was never my intention. But I see she has handled it all with extraordinary grace. As a gay man I’m well aware of how deeply discrimination hurts. The last thing I would ever want to do is inflict that pain on someone else,” Hornery wrote.

— The Sydney Morning Herald (@smh) June 13, 2022This is not the first time Wilson has sparred with Australian media – in 2017, she was awarded a record AUS$4.7 million ($3.3 million) defamation payout over a series of articles that claimed she had lied about her name, age and childhood to get ahead in Hollywood.
After the magazine publisher successfully appealed, Wilson’s award was revised to A$600 000.
