Rebel Wilson on forced coming out: it was a very difficult situation | Stars

entertainment">“Thank you for your comments, it was a very difficult situation but I tried to handle it elegantly,” Wilson wrote under a report from a reporter on the subject.

entertainment">Rebel Wilson announced via Instagram last week that he was in a relationship with a woman. On Saturday it turned out that she may not have done this entirely of her own free will. A columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the newspaper had given the actress two days just before her coming out to respond to an unpublished article in which her relationship with a woman would be announced.

entertainment">The newspaper’s editor-in-chief has since responded to the situation and writes that the daily newspaper has only asked Wilson if she wanted to say something about her new love. “We would have asked the same questions if Wilson’s new love had been a man,” writes Bevan Shields. “To say that the Herald wanted to ‘out’ Wilson is wrong.”
