• A gossip column regarding Hollywood star Rebel Wilson’s new love connection was pulled from an Australian publication, and the writer apologised for being accused of exposing the actress.
• The Sydney Morning Herald’s writer was chastised when it was found that he had told the Pitch Perfect actress that he planned to write a piece on her new relationship.

Wilson, who had previously openly dated men, came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community on June 9 when she disclosed her new girlfriend was Lemon Ve Limon entrepreneur Ramona Agruma.

The Hustle actress, 42, uploaded a photo of herself with her new lover on Friday, claiming she had discovered her “Disney princess.”

Meanwhile, in the most recent opinion article, writer Andrew Hornery states that he mistakenly pushed Wilson to announce her sexuality before she was ready.

“I’ve learned some new and painful lessons from this, and I want to be honest with you about the mistakes I made,” he said.

“I am very sad that Rebel has finding this difficult. That was not my objective at all. “However, I see she has handled everything with great grace,” he concluded.

“As a homosexual guy, I understand how badly prejudice hurts. That is the last thing I would ever want to do to someone else.”

“My email was never intended to be a threat, but to demonstrate that I was confident enough in my findings to initiate a dialogue,” Hornery continued.

“It is not the Herald’s business to ‘out’ anyone, and we did not set out to do so.” But I can see why my email was seen as a threat. It was framed incorrectly.”
