Happy Pride! Rebel Wilson has a girlfriend! She’s not the Pitch Perfect star I already had a coming out post drafted about, but hey, welcome to the LGBTQ+ fam, Rebel!
Rebel posted a photo of her and her girlfriend, Ramona Agruma, on Instagram earlier today with the caption, “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess.” This is, of course, soft butch Robin Hood the fox slander, but I’m going to let it slide for now. Rebel Wilson is new to the community and obviously hasn’t yet had a chance to read our archives of various Disney things ranked by lesbianism. She’ll get there.
Obviously People magazine is all over this. They talked to “a friend” who told them Rebel’s in an amazing place and has never been happier. She’d already told People she had a new partner, someone she’d met through a mutual friend, but she didn’t mention it was a GAY PARTNER. And get this — they fell in love by TALKING ON THE PHONE! That’s how they did it all the way back in Bridgerton! V. romantic!
Rebel Wilson also told People: “I think that what you want in a partner is elevated and so it’s great to have someone who feels like an equal partner and be in a healthy relationship. There were times — I’m not saying with all my exes, they’re great — but there were some times that I was probably putting up with that I shouldn’t have. So it feels different to be in a really healthy relationship.”
Should’ve known it was a woman just by that quote, huh?
A quick Google tells me Ramona Agruma is a fashion designer who owns a sustainable clothing company called LEMON VE LIMON and is a brand ambassador for Bee Goddess Jewellery.
Happy gay stuff, you two love birds! Being queer the very best thing that can ever happen to you and I hope you enjoy it to its fullest!
Wonderful, the more the merrier!
She’s pro-diet and kinda fatphobic now which is sad but we deserve mediocre celebrities just like cis hets honestly
“Pro diet”
What happened to letting people do what they want with their bodies? If she wants to diet, that’s her choice. Acting like it’s a character flaw is ridiculous c
I think there’s a big difference between “has dieted” and “pro-dieting,” in that the latter means a person encourages others to diet, which is really the opposite of letting others do what they want with their bodies. One is a personal choice, yes, but the other is typically rooted in anti-fatness, and I think that’s what Lily D was trying to point out above. Pro-diet rhetoric is especially dangerous when it comes from celebrities, and disappointing when it comes from formerly fat people. Highly recommend the podcast Maintenance Phase if you want to learn more about diet culture and its issues!
Being lazy and a glutton is a character flaw. Go ahead and stay fat but don’t be complaining when you have to deal with all the health problems that come with it.
A) you have no idea about any of the science and research around body size B) fatness has nothing to do with laziness and C) a person’s health is none of your concern.

No, she isn’t. Just because someone loss weight doesn’t mean their “kinda fatphobic now”
This is her talking about it:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leylamohammed/rebel-wilson-rejected-for-acting-roles-because-of-her-size?bfsource=relatedmanual
“People are beautiful at any shape or size, and I genuinely believe that,” she said. “I just got to a point where I knew deep inside that I was engaging in some activities that were unhealthy.”
“I liked to think I looked good at all sizes and stuff,” she said. “And I’ve always been quite confident, so it’s not like I wasn’t confident and now I’m super confident. I think what’s been really interesting is how other people treat you.”
This is good to know! I made my comment from a place of “yes being pro-diet is actually bad,” not really with specific knowledge of Wilson’s views. But glad to hear that she’s been decent about it
The quote! Is literally! How I feel about all my relationships with women!
She’s not the Pitch Perfect star I already had a coming out post drafted about, but hey, welcome to the LGBTQ+ fam, Rebel!
LMAOOOO
lmao is it Brittany Snow?? Please let it be Brittany Snow!
It’s gotta be Anna Kendrick, right?
I love that I could name at least three Pitch Perfect stars this could plausibly be, but I’m gonna go with the one who’s out there playing queer characters in a couple of excellent series, haha. (Still crossing my fingers for a queer Kate Bishop reveal, too.)
I literally gasped when I saw this headline. Incredible Pride month news!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, this isn’t a happy story. The Sydney Morning Herald published a piece bragging about how they threatened to out her, and she chose to break the story before they could do the job: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/celebrity/rebel-starts-spreading-the-news-of-relationship-20220610-p5aswa.html
It’s written with a really nastily passive-aggressive tone – apparently they didn’t expect her to beat them to the punch:
I saw that earlier today! Good for her for getting out ahead of that, but it sucks that she didn’t get to come out on her own timeline (and that the paper is trying to publicly shame her for not allowing them to blackmail her!!!).
holy shit, that article is *so* nasty. they literally say ‘we gave her two days of warning that we were going to out her, and then that bitter woman did it herself. how dare she!?’
and then goes on to make a snarky comment about her having an ex-boyfriend, and suggests that she was too much of a coward to come out herself even though “sexual orientation is no longer something to be hidden”??? the level of hostile homophobia, I cannot
This article is so incredibly nasty and yet it’s amazing that the nastiness is not even the most remarkable thing about it – it’s the fever-dream-like incoherence of the “news” story itself. What is the news here? That she has a girlfriend, which isn’t news because homophobia is no longer an issue in Hollywood, and that she told us she had a girlfriend before this paper could, which is somehow painted as both manipulative and disingenuous?? What does her suing Women’s Day for defamation have to do with her not telling the paper she has a girlfriend? What does her previously identifying as a heterosexual woman have to do her having a girlfriend? She’s got a girlfriend, so whether or not she experienced discrimination while people thought she was straight, she is now going to be perceived as not straight. This is such a weird, bitter, fuming little journalist what wrote this.
agreed! I was so confused I went to make sure it wasn’t some weird ultra right wing psuedo-news site, but it appears to be a normal online paper??
As a soft butch who only ever wanted to watch Disney’s fox Robin Hood as a child – I feel seen
