all a comment like this does is communicate that you can’t get with people except those who don’t know how to wash themselves. this doesn’t reflect well on you.

A lip sore is not the same as genital herpes. They are two different strains (although, I imagine, you can ‘contaminate’ the genital area during oral sex when you have a cold sore?).

it’s a condition that flares with stress, no? So these events she is suing over caused her serious stress which led to a flare-up, not the actual contraction of the virus that causes cold sores.

What you’re missing here is the magazine itself already researched this and found Rebel Wilson never lied. So why would the court need to go over all that again? The key is proving that the magazine published information it had reason to believe was false.

THIS. Moreover, she never said Rebel was her birth name, she said Rebel is what her family calls her. Just like her siblings who go by the names Ryot, Liberty, and Annachi.

Rebel Wilson is hysterically funny, and even though I am not a plus-sized women, I revel in having her be a sexy, sexual, funny presence in film.

In emails published by ABC News Online in Australia, Nementzik reveals that research indicates Wilson had never misrepresented her age, and has admitted her real name is Melanie. As such, over the coming months, Woman’s Day was reportedly discouraged from posting an article about her by their legal team.

the magazine. knew. that. what. the “tipster”. shared. with. them. was. false.

Your question was how this can end well for her. If she (presumably, I really have zero idea how any studio/agent/etc didn’t know her name and age, my gf knew that shit when Pitch Perfect came out...) did not lie about her age or name, and the reporter flagrantly claimed she did, and it caused attention to be drawn to…

Agreed. Who cares if she lied about her age? It’s an unfortunate tactic that women in the entertainment industry have to use to stay employable. If people in the movie biz weren’t such disgusting misogynists who think women have an expiry date, it wouldn’t be a thing. But it is. And people use stage names ALL the…

And it was friggen hilarious, darling!

Maaayyybbeee you shouldn’t make comments where you make obvious judgements about someone when 5 seconds of googling would show you are obviously wrong. Stress can quite easily cause cold sores especially in people prone to them.

In a fickle industry like Hollywood it is easy for your scenes to be cut for this reason. …

I am eagerly awaiting the settlement announcement. Hopefully in lieu of an apology or money damages ‘punch them in dick’ is offered.

I have actually caught a friend doing something like this to someone else, who welcomed her into her home and offered hospitality, who knew her for years. I think it was done out sheer jealousy and spite. I now keep an arms length from her and not as close as I used to be.

What you’re wrong about is that the magazine said she was lying, when she wasn’t. That, itself, is defamation.

What journalist would ever use a comment section as a reputable source? What’s the point in scrolling through the work from home scams, trolls, off topic political nonsense, comments meant for another article, and the “Well actually...” people for facts on a current event?

Good. I hope the judge sides with her. I hated these “stories” when they came out and thought they stank of jealousy—and I never blame jealousy for anything. I strongly suspect that they went after her because she was hugely successful, definitely plus size and unapologetically sexy. Everyone knows that actors fluff…

It must make right-wingers secrectly furious that this is the best they can do when it comes to famous people.

If someone on the left wore a hat in the Oval Office, these very same people would be shitting blood.
