Rebel Wilson‘s highly anticipated memoir, “Life on My Own Terms,” is finally out in the UK, but fans have only been left bewildered by huge sections blacked out. Seemingly filled with all the aspects of her personal and professional life, controversy seems to hover over the Australian actress’ memoir as several redacted passages came up during the reading process and most people could only wonder about what could have been filled in and why.
Apparently, the areas indicated in black might be matters that are sensitive, possibly concerning the court or personal life that Wilson may have decided to avoid or be coerced into. There has been speculation that some of the areas redacted are linked with her defamation case against Bauer Media in 2017, which she emerged victorious and received millions after the media house published fraudulent stories about her, damaging her name and career. Perhaps because some details remain legally sensitive, the long legal fight may be a major explanation for why several sections of the book are blacked out.
Life on My Own Terms: Life Beyond the Spotlight Life on My Own Terms explores Wilson’s rise to fame, her body-image battles, and the depth behind her determination to succeed in an often unforgivingly discriminative industry. Wilson also shares some aspects of her personal life, touching on romantic and professional relationships, though all those details are obscured by redactions. For a UK reader, the redacted parts have understandably generated interest, as various people query whether such hidden information may contain explosive revelations or just legal formalities.
While portions of the book are blacked out, the memoir was received by readers with a lot of truthfulness, humor and strength. With stories about overcoming adversity and fighting her way to find her place in Hollywood readers connected to her. However this early draft of the book leaves fans holding their breaths for more tidbits, perhaps an uncensored version or direct clarification from Wilson herself.
For now, Life on My Own Terms has left readers with a tantalizingly mysterious look into Rebel Wilson’s life, with the blanked portions only deepening that mystery.
