Rebel Wilson is still dealing with pain from the Australian media's attempt to out her same-sex relationship.
Back in June, Rebel revealed she was dating girlfriend Ramona Agruma in a sweet Instagram post — but it turns out she only did so because a media outlet was threatening to out them.
Just days prior to her announcement, the Sydney Morning Herald had contacted Rebel's team and gave them a deadline to comment on the relationship before they publicly published a story about it.
Following Rebel's decision to come out herself on Instagram, the outlet said reaching out to her had been a "big mistake" and accused her of trying to "gazump the story."
While Rebel and Ramona have attempted to move past the situation, the Sydney Morning Herald has now been condemned by the Australian Press Council.
Although Rebel did not ask the Press Council to speak out, she says she is grateful for their actions.
"Just seeing the news that the Australian Press Council has condemned the Sydney Morning Herald and their journalists for their recent grubby behaviour in trying to out my same-sex relationship," Rebel wrote on Instagram.
She continued, "And while I didn’t personally ask for any action to be taken, I am glad that this has been officially recorded and recognized."
Rebel admitted that she and Ramona were deeply affected by being forced to come out sooner than they had planned.
"Their actions did cause Ramona and I a lot of distress, and while we’ve remained classy, there are still pains from having to rush this news publicly which we are dealing with," Rebel said.
She added, "We moved on, focusing on all the absolutely amazing new things in our life, though! Sending love to everyone."
