The international backlash against the Sydney Morning Herald over its reporting of Rebel Wilson’s new relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma has intensified, with celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg now criticising the masthead.
Goldberg, on her show The View, was scathing of Hornery’s apology where he said it was never the Herald’s intention to “out” Wilson.
Columnist Andrew Hornery and Herald editor Bevan Shields have this week apologised after Wilson was given a two-day deadline to respond to plans to write about the relationship.
“Mistakes were made in our approach to Wilson and I apologise for them,” Shields wrote.
