mystery Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) In their new article The Sydney Morning Herald describes that they gave Rebel a two days heads up that they were going to break the story about her relationship and asked for her to make a comment to them in return. Then they posted this article being angry that she broke the story herself. Rebel starts spreading the news of relationship: "Coming out, Rebel style" In a perfect world, “outing” same-sex celebrity relationships should be a redundant concept in 2022. Love is love, right As Rebel Wilson knows, we do not live in a perfect world. 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. UPDATE: After receiving backlash for their first article, they have posted a response article that you can read here: "A note on Rebel Wilson" Our weekly Private Sydney celebrity column last week asked Wilson if she wished to comment about her new partner. We would have asked the same questions had Wilson’s new partner been a man. To say that the Herald ‘outed’ Wilson is wrong. Like other mastheads do every day, we simply asked questions and as standard practice included a deadline for a response. I had made no decision about whether or what to publish, and the Herald’s decision about what to do would have been informed by any response Wilson supplied. Wilson made the decision to publicly disclose her new partner - who had been a feature of her social media accounts for months.

Zack Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Not them posting an article that could possibly give Rebel grounds to sue for harassment or something. The self-exposé. Disgusting behavior. Where is their journalistic integrity? Rebel seems really happy at the moment, but hopefully this didn't take too much of a toll on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
