Rebel Wilson Opens Up About Being Forced to Come Out
Rebel Wilson has opened up about being forced to come out not on her time but on the time of a journalist who, according to the actress, threatened to out her.The Pitch Perfect and Senior Year actor opened up about the circumstances surrounding her public announcement this summer that she was in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma.
Speaking to The Australian, Wilson explained that she preemptively posted a snapshot on Instagram disclosing her relationship because journalist Andrew Hornery with the Sydney Morning Herald intended to publish Wilson’s intimate relationship details.In early June, she wrote, “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess.”She said she and Agruma didn’t hide their relationship, but the couple wanted to share the news at their own pace due to varying levels of family support.“Across our two families, not everybody is as accepting as what you’d hoped for, and we were trying to be respectful to those people and tell them in our own way,” Wilson told The Australian. “Basically, with the situation where a journalist is threatening to out you, you’ve got to hurry, and some people we didn’t get a chance to tell before it came out publicly.
And that’s not ideal.”Wilson told the outlet that she wasn’t worried about her reaction to the exposure. Instead, she said she was concerned about Agruma’s well-being with all the unexpected attention.“It was just a hard few days, especially for my partner, who’s not used to being in the public eye and not used to having to deal with stuff like that.
