Rebel Wilson is making her debut in the fashion world, and should we say she’s starting on the wrong foot? The Fat Amy star is now facing heavy criticism over the limited size range in her new fashion line.
Wilson was well grounded in the plus size category until the last two years saw her lose over 77 pounds. She’s been open about her struggles with diet and fertility all along the way. So what is the fuzz about the sizes in her new fashion line?
You can only know if you keep reading.
Wilson Announces New Fashion Line
On November 3, the star announced a limited edition launch of a new fashion line with her girlfriend Ramona Agruma, an L.A.-based owner of Lemon Ve Limon, a loungewear company.
The line features just a pair of sweatpants ranging from XS-XL and a hoodie in sizes XS- L/XL.
However, many of her fans have expressed disappointment in the lack of size inclusivity and the actress forgetting about the fat community in the R&R Club .
Outrage From Fans

First Ever Plus Size Star Of A Comedy Hit
Wilson, who famously described herself as the first-ever-plus-size girl to be the main act of a romantic comedy, blocked off Twitter users who condemned her exclusion of Black plus-sized women like Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique, is certainly not new to drama surrounding “sizes.”
However, we hope she expands the line as soon as possible to curb controversy and allow more success for her fashion exploits.
