Rebel Wilson has apologised for previously claiming that she is the first plus-sized woman to play the lead in a romantic comedy.
Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last to promote Isn’t it Romantic?, Wilson said: “I’m proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy.”
It was purely to lift my fellow plus-size women up, so I was sad when I had a different reaction from some people.
Critics were quick to point out that Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique (Phat Girlz) had both appeared in multiple romcoms.
