Overlooking cinematic releases launched by the likes of Queen Latifah & MoNique, Rebel claimed that she was the first plus-sized woman to star as the lead in a Romantic Comedy.
After reading tweets published by fans who pointed out her error, the actress stunned the world by blocking them which inspired the #RebelWilsonBlockedMe Twitter hashtag.
She has now asked for forgiveness and apologised for suggesting that movies launched by Latifah and co weren’t really rom-coms.
With the help of some very compassionate and well-thought out responses from others on social media, I now realize what I said was not only wrong but also incredibly hurtful. To be part of a problem I was hoping I was helping makes it that much more embarrassing & hard to acknowledge. I blocked people on Twitter because I was hurting from the criticism, but those are the people I actually need to hear from more, not less. Again, I am deeply sorry.
