Rebel Wilson apologizes for claiming to be "first ever plus size woman" to play lead in a rom-com
"I neglected to show the proper respect to those who climbed this mountain before me like Mo'Nique, Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, Ricki Lake and likely many others".
Rebel Wilson has apologized for claiming to be the "first ever plus size woman" to play the lead in a romantic comedy.
The actress received a lot of backlash after her appearance on Ellen DeGeneres's show last week where she said that she was "proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy". Her comments on the show attracted a lot of criticism from all quarters.
