Mo'Nique Gives Rebel Wilson a History Lesson After 'Plus-Sized' Comments

Bless Rebel Wilson’s, little heart.

In an effort to talk up the trailer for her upcoming movie, Isn’t It Romantic, Rebel Wilson claimed to be the “first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy” on both Ellen and Instagram.

Fans of Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique were quick to point out the obvious inaccuracy of that statement. Queen Latifah starred in the 2006 rom-com, The Last Holiday, alongside L.L. Cool J, while Mo’Nique’s Phat Girlz came out the same year.

Yesterday, Mo’Nique took to Twitter to make sure Wilson brushes up on her history before she makes any more claims about breaking rom-com barriers.

And instead of just saying sorry for misspeaking (or nothing!), Wilson continues to belabor the point, though she did add, “It was never my intention to erase anyone else’s achievements,” right before referring to playwright Claire Willett, who also took to Twitter to voice concerns, as “honey,” which, maybe, don’t do that.

The film, which also stars a Hemsworth and Priyanka Chopra, doesn’t come out until Valentine’s Day, so we’ve got four more months of this to look forward to!

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
