Rebel Wilson has spoken out after it was confirmed by a columnist for an Australian newspaper that the outlet had been planning to out her before she decided to come out on her own terms.
On Thursday, Wilson shared with her 11.1 million Instagram followers that she is in a relationship with Ramona Agruma, founder of Lemon Ve Limon - a sustainable clothing company based in Los Angeles.
"I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess," wrote the Bridesmaids actor, alongside the hashtag "Love is love".
Over the weekend, Sydney Morning Herald columnist Andrew Hornery explained that Wilson's post about her new romance was uploaded after the outlet had reached out for comment with plans to do a piece on it.
He said she was given two days to comment on her new relationship before the paper put out an article outing her.
Now, the actress has responded to Hornery's brash admission.
A Twitter user, Kate Doak, had tweeted a link to Hornery's article, writing: "So apparently it wasn't @RebelWilson 's choice to come out... The @smh / @theage have admitted to giving her a heads up 2 days in advance that they were going to "out" her. What's worse, openly gay men at the Sydney Morning Herald were involved in this."
Wilson responded to Doak's tweet, writing: "Thanks for your comments, it was a very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace."
In his article for the Sydney Morning Herald, Hornery appeared to throw shade at Wilson for coming out on her own terms, after being warned that the paper would write about her new same-sex romance.
"In a perfect world, 'outing' same-sex celebrity relationships should be a redundant concept in 2022. Love is love, right?" Hornery wrote. "As Rebel Wilson knows, we do not live in a perfect world."
Hornery continued: "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.
"Big mistake. Wilson opted to gazump the story, posting about her new 'Disney Princess' on Instagram early Friday morning, the same platform she had previously used to brag about her handsome ex-boyfriend, wealthy American beer baron Jacob Busch."
