Sydney Morning Herald column about Rebel Wilson's relationship caused substantial distress, Australian Press Council rules

The Sydney Morning Herald’s (SMH) column about actress Rebel Wilson’s same-sex relationship caused her “substantial offence and distress” and breached the Australian Press Council's (APC) Standards of Practice. 

Wilson believed the newspaper's gossip columnist Andrew Hornery was “threatening” to out her when he contacted her about her relationship with Los Angeles designer Ramona Agruma, and gave her two days to respond. 

Before Hornery could break the story, Wilson announced the relationship on Instagram in June 2022.
