Actress dusts off Australian newspaper after press questions

This weekend, Sydney Morning Herald columnist Andrew Hornery revealed that he was previously aware of the affair. He even asked Wilson for his response to an article and gave him two days to do it.

Angry, Hornery wrote that Wilson had meanwhile given the news himself. “Wilson got too much fanfare,” he wrote angrily about his “big mistake” as he waited for comment. “It is unfortunate that he has decided to ignore our confidential and candid questions.”

The Sydney Morning Herald has since removed the column in question from its site. Hornery admits in a column today that he and his newspaper did something wrong in publishing the Wilson story.

“It’s not the Herald’s job to get people out, and that’s what we wanted to do,” Hornery said. He adds that he understood that Wilson perceived his email as threatening; reveals that he is gay. “The sound was not good.”

‘pushed out’

Twitter reacted with surprise during the events. “Looks like Rebel Wilson was pushed out of the closet by Andrew Hornery and still has the audacity to complain that he made up the story,” she said. reply to twitter† “I read it three times to see if I got it right,” wonders a BBC reporter. The newspaper is widely accused of old-fashioned gossip journalism.

Hornery initially defended herself, saying Wilson “wasn’t offended by that kind of attention when she had a boyfriend.” In addition, she says sexual orientation has long been no secret in Hollywood and that it is “less likely to be discriminated against.”

In an initial response to the uproar, editor Bevan Shields wrote that the newspaper has not yet decided to write anything about Wilson’s sexuality. “Like other papers, we just asked questions and gave a deadline for answers.” He objects that his newspaper has “unmasked” Wilson.

Wilson has not yet commented specifically on the developments. She thanked him for his kind answers. “It was a difficult situation, but we try to handle it gracefully.”
