Did Rebel Wilson come out or was she pushed out?

The media debacle around Rebel Wilson’s coming out has implications for journalism, LGBTQIA+ safety and the right to privacy. The story’s travelled far and wide with everyone from Whoopi Goldberg to Magda Szubanski weighing in. Among many questions we’re asking — what’s the place of gossip columns in newspapers these days? We know it’s cold outside, so we have a couple of winter warmers to keep you company as you snuggle down in your doona fort on the couch.  With the Logies around the corner, revisit double nominee New Gold Mountain with director Corrie Chen and series lead Yoson An.  And we catch up Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, aka Daniels, writers and directors of the A24 action-sci-fi-comedy-family dramedy Everything Everywhere All at Once.
