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!

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
