In case you’ve been living under an internet free rock for a year, you’d probably remember that in May last year news broke that famed comedian and actress Rebel Wilson was older than she had previously stated.
While celebrating her 29th birthday, it was confirmed the star was born in 1980, so was actually 36.
And while a public correction to your age may not seem like a big deal, the public outing is a big deal to Wilson who is suing magazine publisher Bauer Media for defamation.
The Pitch Perfect star is alleging that articles that appeared in Woman’s Day, the Australian Women’s Weekly, NW and OK! Magazine accused her of lying about her age and insinuated that she had done so to get ahead in Hollywood. As such, the star claims her reputation as a comedian and actor has suffered and that she’s been humiliated and embarrassed by the revelation.
