Velvet Night Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 This is so disappointing. How is this a thing in 2022? The paper having the audacity to be angry that Rebel took matters into her own hands by outing herself on Instagram after being told she had two days to respond before they outed her to the whole world.

They didn’t want to pressure her to come instead they wanted to out her and get a big story and get the clicks whoever wrote this should be fired. like the article says in 2022 love is love and it doesn’t matter and yet they wanted to out her for clicks? And now they’re implying she’s as shamed of it by not coming out sooner??? im no Karen but I’ll be writing a complain to the company. Get them fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator MissedTheTrain Posted June 11, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2022 This is absolutely disgusting....and what the hell at that article they posted "exposing" her? Why do they think it's okay to out someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Than A Melody Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I find it very funny that people are outraged that they'd force her to come out and at the same time y'all go around and say that celebs owe you their sexuality if they choose not to say it. Which one is it? I know what side I'm on... people's personal lives are their own and nobody owes us their personal information. Period. No excuses and no tangents and no conditions.

IBeMe Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 this is legit TERRIBLE and cruel. For a lot of ppl there is A LOT of shame or fear STILL associated with coming out. Yes even for women (I know society makes it seem like being a lesbian or w/e is easier but for a lot of queer women it is still super scary). Shame on ANYONE or any entity / news source that outs ppl. They can literally lead to someone committing suicide or something...not everone is prepared mentally or strong enough to come out...how do they know she was? Shame on them.

Speculation from people on a members only forum is not the same thing as powerful media publications OUTING you to the public. pls read a book what an utterly stupid comment from the original.

Raver Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I am actually surprised she is a lesbian but it’s not right that she was basically forced to come out. The writer and magazine ain’t ****! The writer is a gay man too which makes this even more ****** up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slap Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 This is disgraceful, and this is one of the better news outlets in Australia… Good on her for taking control but it sucks for your queer relationship to need to be made public on other people’s terms.

The7thStranger Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The response from the editor is repugnant. Both he and the writer should honestly be fired over this.

mystery Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 20 hours ago, mystery said: 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. They issued another response, this time to the backlash. Them doubling down is extremely shameful, especially the last part about them saying she made the decision herself when it was them who pressured her to do it with the time limit.

So Wiki says The Sydney Morning Herald is literally the newspaper of record in Australia? That'd be the equivalent of like...The New York Times Lifestyle section formally outing Queen Latifah for an official long-term girlfriend, no? That seems unfathomable to me. I realize Rupert Murdoch bought Sky and the country seems to have gotten more conservative as an outsider, and, devil's advocate, they'd defend journalistic scoops over morality, like The Daily Beast initially did with their Rio Olympics story on gay apps in the Olympic Village in 2016 before taking it down, then say something like she was privileged as their second reason, but this still is wildly unethical and heartless. This is Daily Mail fodder (even not that outlet anymore as they're much more libel averse than they used to be) and even then makes no sense. She's not some closeted politician. I realize she just wants to move on with her life but I'm so pissed for her a part of me still wishes she'd take legal action - then action, she'd probably have little recourse.
