That Pitch perfect The 42-year-old actress has launched a loungewear brand – in partnership with her fiancée Ramona Agruma – Earlier this month, which includes hoodies, sweatshirts, and other cozy items. The products are available in sizes XS to XL, as shown on the Label’s websiteleading to backlash from consumers.
TikTok user destiny went to the social media platform to call the native Australian in a video shared on Saturday November 26th. “The irony that Rebel launched a clothing line that she couldn’t even have shopped a few years ago,” Ann captioned the clip, referring to Wilson’s weight loss. That senior year star embarked on a fitness journey in 2020 and has since lost 80 pounds.
“I’m just learning about Rebel Wilson’s new clothing brand, R&R Club, which launched in early November,” Ann began in the video. “I’m just confused. I don’t understand someone like that [was] Plus size for most of their career and most of their life… someone who knows how hard it is to be fat to buy clothes your size… I don’t see how someone with that background, that knowledge, owns a brand can only bring it out up to XL.”
She added, “People’s biggest argument for it is always, ‘Oh, it’s so expensive to have so many size ranges.’ [but] It’s Rebel Wilson, she’s got money. It’s so discouraging.”
Ann’s followers and other TikTok creators were quick to fill the comments section with their own thoughts.
@itsyourest the irony that the rebel is dropping a clothing line she wouldn’t have even been able to shop at a few years ago 🙃 #rebelwilson #plussizemode #sizeinclusivemode #green screen

I can get up tomorrow and go to the gym, drink and eat healthy and love myself,” she wrote alongside a photo of her posing poolside in a red one-shoulder swimsuit.
She added: “Being hard on yourself doesn’t help, but I know what it’s like to feel guilty and not great after overeating. But if, like me, you know that YOU are more than just your weight, your weight doesn’t define you, just try your best to be healthy and don’t be so hard on yourself.
