Actor Rebel Wilson recently introduced her girlfriend Ramona Agruma on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sydney: <\/b><\/p>\n

Actor Rebel Wilson said an Australian newspaper had put her in a “very hard situation” after fans accused the publication of pressuring her to reveal her relationship with a woman.<\/p>\n

The ‘Pitch Perfect’ actor had posted a selfie with her “Disney Princess” partner to Instagram on Friday, a day before the Sydney Morning Herald reported it had known about the relationship and given Wilson two days to comment.<\/p>\n

On social media, LGBTQIA + activists and others accused the newspaper of forcing Wilson – who had not publicly disclosed her sexuality – to out herself.<\/p>\n

The Herald denied pressuring Wilson, and said it had “simply asked questions”.<\/p>\n

In her first comments on the controversy, Wilson responded on Sunday to a Twitter user who accused the Herald of giving two days’ notice that they were going to out the actor.<\/p>\n

“It was a very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace,” Wilson tweeted.<\/p>\n

According to the newspaper, its gossip columnist had put questions to Wilson about her relationship “with an abundance of caution and respect”.<\/p>\n

“Big mistake. Wilson opted to gazump the story, posting about her new ‘Disney Princess’ on Instagram early Friday morning,” columnist Andrew Hornery wrote in an article published Saturday.<\/p>\n

As outrage built on social media, Herald editor Bevan Shields defended the column.<\/p>\n

“We would have asked the same questions had Wilson’s new partner been a man,” Shields wrote.<\/p>\n

This was not the first time Wilson has sparred with the Australian media – in 2017, she was awarded a record AUS $ 4.7 million ($ 3.3 million) defamation payout over a series of articles that claimed she had lied about her name, age and childhood to get ahead in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

After the magazine publisher successfully appealed, Wilson’s award was revised to A $ 600,000.<\/p>\n
