Rebel Wilson has been criticised for failing to include plus size options in her new loungewear brand.

Earlier this month, the 42-year-old actress launched her range, R&R Club, which offers pricey hoodies and sweatpants in sizes XS to XL.

But fans criticised the line, which Wilson collaborated on with girlfriend Ramona Agruma, for the lack of range in larger sizes.

“Can we talk about the lack of size inclusivity in Rebel Wilson’s new brand??? wtf," asked influencer Destiny Ann in a TikTok video.

"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 .

“How someone with that background, that knowledge can release a brand that only goes up to an XL."

She added that while she knows it was more expensive to offer a size inclusive range, “It’s Rebel Wilson, okay! She got money."

Another TikTok creator, Lacey-Jade Christie, also asked why Wilson had “forgotten" about her plus size fans.

She said: “I know she’s not fat anymore, but the fat community supported Rebel Wilson for her whole career.

“She profited off of being a fat person, a fat character."

Fans also took to the comments to complain about the Pitch Perfect star.

One wrote: “It’s so disappointing when you see something you love and are so excited and they do not offer in my size."

Another said: “Wow. I’m disappointed in her. She knew how this felt."

While a third commented: “Out of all the people I thought she would have bigger sizes since she was bigger than an XL back in the day so disappointed in her."

Wilson has undergone a dramatic weight transformation after she went on a “year of health" in 2020. The star, who has lost an estimated 80 pounds, also came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community this summer and went public about her romance with Arguma.
