‘Pitch Perfect’ Star Rebel Wilson Says U.S. Should Follow Australia’s Lead — You’ll Never Guess On What Issue


Rebel Wilson is known primarily for her outspoken character Fat Amy in the movie Pitch Perfect and its sequel Pitch Perfect 2, but when that comes to what Wilson says in the real world, some might not expect her to be quite as brash as her signature character.

With the shooting in Lafayette movie theater still fresh, Rebel took to Twitter to call out what she sees as the real culprit behind frequent shootings taking place in the United States: weak gun laws.

Being a part of a series as popular as Pitch Perfect means that Rebel has attracted fans from all across the political spectrum. Unsurprisingly, Wilson’s tweet about Australia being able to teach the U.S. a few things about gun control inspired a bloodbath of debate in the comments. Even some more high-profile followers of Rebel’s account chimed in — like JWOWW of Jersey Shore fame.

Other commenters also expressed their disagreement with Wilson’s statement. Some calling her tweet foolish, while others used it as a platform to attack the actress’ weight.

Still, a large portion of the comments were positive toward Rebel’s original statement.

Do you think Rebel Wilson’s comments about gun control were Pitch Perfect or out of line?
