Sydney: Actor Rebel Wilson said an Australian newspaper had put her in a “very difficult situation” after fans accused the article of forcing her to reveal her relationship with a woman. Actress Pitch Perfect posted a selfie with her “Disney Princess” partner on Instagram on Friday, a day before the Sydney Morning Herald reported that she knew about the relationship and gave Wilson two days to comment. On social media, LGBTQIA + activists and others accused the newspaper of forcing Wilson – who had not publicly revealed her sexuality – to go out of her way. The Herald denied that she had pressured Wilson, saying she had “just asked questions”. In her first comments about the controversy, Wilson responded Sunday to a Twitter user who accused the Herald of notifying the actor for two days that they would be dating the actor. “It was a very difficult situation, but I was trying to handle it with grace,” Wilson wrote on Twitter. According to the newspaper, the gossipy columnist had asked Wilson questions about her relationship “with plenty of attention and respect.” “Big mistake. Wilson chose to reveal the story by posting her news story ‘Disney Princess’ on Instagram early Friday morning,” wrote columnist Andrew Hornery in an article published Saturday. As the rage built up on social media, Herald author Bevan Shields defended the column. “We would ask the same questions if Wilson’s new partner was a man,” Shields wrote. This was not the first time Wilson has clashed with the Australian media – in 2017, she was awarded a record A $ 4.7 million ($ 3.3 million) for defamation for a series of articles claiming to have lied about her name, her age and her childhood. go to Hollywood. Following the successful appeal of the magazine’s publisher, the Wilson Prize was revised to A $ 600,000.
