Rebel Wilson has come under fire from her fans for not including plus sizes in her new loungewear collection.
Wilson recently launched her loungewear retail brand R&R Club with her partner Ramona Agruma. The line has only two pieces – a cream hoodie and match cream trackies. Each piece comes in sizes XS, S, M and L/XL.
Social media has been lit up with questions about why Wilson wasn’t more inclusive with her sizing.
“Huge epidemic of fat girls who lost weight and now they buy into the same fatphobia that made them hate themselves when they were fat,” one social media wrote. “so now they want to distance themselves from fatness because society still hates women who lose weight for ever having been fat,” another added.
TikToker Destiny Ann slammed her in a video and questioned why plus sizes weren’t included when a lot of Wilson’s acting roles have been centred around her size.
“I don’t understand how someone who is plus-size for the majority of her career and the majority of her life — someone who knows hard it is to be fat, to shop for clothing and actually find it in your size — I don’t understand how someone with that background, that knowledge, can release a brand that only goes up to an XL,” she said.
“People’s biggest argument for this is that it’s ‘so expensive to have all these size ranges’. It’s Rebel Wilson! She has money! It’s so disheartening.”

Wilson appeared to hear the backlash as she responded on her Instagram story and addressed the possiblity of introducing larger sizes to R&R.
“We are experimenting with this limited capsule collection of only two pieces in limited sizes,” she captioned a photo of her wearing the two piece.
