Rebel Wilson came under fire last week for lying about being the first plus-size woman to lead a romantic comedy with her upcoming film Isn't It Romantic.

Turns out she isn't a fan of black writers and critics telling her the truth and promptly blocked notable Twitter users after they spoke out.

Here are several of the many people she blocked:

Writer Clarkisha Kent:

Welp. Don’t ever say I don’t try, because I definitely could have been meaner than I was. Me from even a year ago would have lit that ass up. pic.twitter.com/nfs4JeeBIe

YouTuber Nebela:

I shared my honest & respectful thoughts on Rebel Wilson’s erasure of iconic plus sized women before her.

Her blocking a fellow plus woman in this industry is a reminder that she doesn’t want to acknowledge her plus peers but rather ignore them entirely. pic.twitter.com/icUvY9QrCR

I saw y’all tweeting about it so I got curious. I see Rebel Wilson takes criticism very well. Her kind is so typical. pic.twitter.com/w1dh4AlguV

Political commentator/writer Preston Mitchum:

.@RebelWilson is out here blocking people right and left for calling her out on her “first” comments. It’s okay, sis. You weren’t the first and you won’t be the last. pic.twitter.com/zG8OAC0iNB

Well damn. I used to like her, but this is messy as hell.

I'm enjoying this backlash

It's what she deserves.

Same, she’s such an obnoxious turd.

those true colours are really coming through...

also, a+ gif usage, but now I have his voicemail message song stuck in my head

yepppppp

This gif is too fucking funny.

Same

Stop digging.

she is so annoying

Does she have PR people?

Did none of them tell her to just take the L and move on?

All she had to say was "I misspoke" instead of this technically plus-sized horseshit and now blocking folks who weren't even being mean to her.

Aussies, smh.

guess they're not getting paid this month lmao

asshole

this was her response to someone who brought up how queen latifah and mo'nique should be given credit for being trailblazers:

While paying her respects to the Twitter user, Wilson insisted that technically, those actresses didn't fit all of her own chosen qualifications. "Hey girl!" wrote Wilson, "Yeah I of course know of these movies but it was questionable as to whether: 1. Technically those actresses were plus size when filming those movies or 2. Technically those films are catorgorized/billed as a studio rom-com with a sole lead."

??????????????

lmao, that's the dumbest thing I've read in a while. She needs to stop.

Wat

Lmfao, she created an arbitrary rule in an effort to claim the achievement. Suddenly the Koons is Christopher Columbus as Rebel Wilson

LOL

looooool

BYE LMAO

She's just totally FOS, by any standard. Last Holiday was a Paramount studio film, Latifah was the sole lead, and she was technically plus sized when she made it in 2006.

veracity Expand

i don't understand what she's trying to say. technically plus size? and what does it matter what the movie is billed as?

Uh, Queen Latifah has been plus sized by Hollywood standards her entire life.

When has Queen Latifah NOT been plus size??? She’s been big her whole career. I loved seeing her on Living Single getting great love interests.

She might has well have just said “it doesn’t count because she’s black” 🙄

IDEK what she's talking about and I don't think she does either. How are Mo'nique and Queen Latifah not plus sized? Where is this debate happening?

I've been following this on twitter and its been messy

Messyyyyyy

technically saying she did not block them

lol it always reflects well on you when you start blocking legitimate criticism

I really liked her whe she started.

Me too, this is very disappointing.

An Australian being Australian.

Mte

lmao

accurate

Basically.

She's such a goddamn mess.

So, instead of simply saying “I apologise for my mistake. I now realise that other plus size actessses have starred in romcoms before”, she just... didn’t?

Elton John was right.

What did he say, "Ignore White Australians?"

What did Elton say?
