Australian Newspaper Admits They Were Going to Out Rebel Wilson Before She Came Out Herself
This week, comedian and actor Rebel Wilson came out via Instagram, where she announced her relationship with fashion and jewelry designer Ramona Agruma. The Senior Year actor posted “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess 💗🌈💗 #loveislove”. Wilson’s coming out was met with celebration and congrats from friends and fans alike, but her romantic announcement was met with annoyance by Australian news publication the Sydney Morning Herald.
Apparently SMH had planned on publicly outing Wilson, and posted a nasty op-ed complaining that Wilson had beat them to the punch. Columnist Andrew Hornery wrote “So, it was an abundance of caution and respect that this media outlet emailed Rebel Wilson’s representatives on Thursday morning, giving her two days to comment on her new relationship with another woman, LA leisure wear designer Ramona Agruma, before publishing a single word.” Oh, so they were going to forcibly out her but gave her 48 hours to acquiesce to her personal life being splashed across the front page…out of respect?
