14 Times Rebel Wilson Deserved An Apology From The Media
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Rebel Wilson recently came out, posting an adorable photo with her girlfriend to her Instagram.
However, news soon came that Australian gossip columnist, Andrew Hornery, was going to reveal the news himself before Rebel could and that he'd given her a two-day window to respond before publishing an article on Wilson's relationship...leading to Rebel posting in the first place.
This is clearly messed up, and it got me thinking...this isn't the only trouble Wilson has had with the press. In fact, she's been treated super poorly, and I have the receipts to prove it. Here are 14 times papers and magazines owed Rebel an apology.
1.First, let's talk about this gossip columnist more in-depth. Not only did he almost out Wilson, but Hornery responded as if he was the victim in the situation, not the person he almost outed. Hornery said he emailed Wilson for a comment, which resulted in her coming out on Instagram, so he then claimed Wilson opted “to gazump the story." He also wrote, “her choice to ignore our discreet, genuine, and honest queries was, in our view, underwhelming.”
The column has since been deleted and now links to an apology to Wilson, but Hornery denied that his article meant to "out" Wilson. Wilson replied to the situation on Twitter, calling it "hard" but saying she was "trying to handle it with grace."
