“I think Adele hates me”: Rebel Wilson talks about the British singer avoiding her at public events in upcoming memoir

According to Rebel Wilson, the Australian actress and producer, English singer-songwriter Adele holds a grudge against her due to past incidents of being mistaken for each other.

According to an excerpt acquired by InTouch Weekly, the 44-year-old author discusses the pop star in her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising.

“Some actresses would get offended if I called them plus-size in this book, so I have to be careful with what I say. This is why, I think, Adele hates me. There was a moment when she was bigger, and some people would confuse us for one another … I am assuming, because to be fair I’ve never asked her.”

The release date for the book is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

Rebel Wilson reveals contract restrictions on weight loss in upcoming memoir

According to the book’s website, Rebel Wilson, known for her role in Pitch Perfect, has penned a memoir that delves into her unique path to achieving success in Hollywood and embracing self-appreciation.

Recently, a viral excerpt from the same source revealed that she had claimed famous English singer Adele “hates”her. The alleged reason for this was their supposed resemblance and the constant comparison between them, particularly before and after their weight loss journeys.

Despite frequently encountering each other at various show business events, the Super Fun Night star noted that the pair never had a chance to properly interact. Despite her attempts to approach her, the Hello singer would reportedly “always quickly”turn away, as revealed by Rebel Wilson who jokingly commented:

“As if my fatness might rub off on her if I were near her for more than thirty seconds. She didn’t like being compared to ‘Fat Amy.’”

In the Pitch Perfect movies, Wilson’s character was often referred to as “Fat Amy.”The actress also stated that her contract for the franchise included a clause prohibiting her from losing weight.

Four years after the franchise ended in 2017, Wilson embarked on a “Year of Health”and successfully shed over 70 pounds. In a July 2021 Instagram Live, she candidly shared her journey and transformation, stating:

“It first started when I was looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like, ‘Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier. That’s kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality. It wasn’t even really myself, it was more thinking of a future mini-me, really.”

Wilson’s daughter, Royce, was born through a surrogate in November 2022.

Prior to her 25-album tour in 2016, Adele had already embarked on her weight loss journey.

During her interview with Oprah for the Adele, One Night Only TV special, the singer opened up about her struggles with anxiety after going through a divorce with Simon Konecki and facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. She also shared that incorporating exercise into her routine played a significant role in helping her overcome her anxiety and regain mental clarity. As a result, the musician has successfully lost approximately 100 pounds.

Wilson’s claims have not received a response from Adele.

Rebel Wilson and her fiancé Ramona Agruma are currently in a relationship and were recently seen enjoying quality time together at the newly opened Nobu Los Cabos Residences.
