Rebel Wilson is once again stirring the pot &#8212; this time taking shots at her talent agency, claiming her team preferred her when she was plus size.
The actress gets into the weighty subject in her new memoir, &#8220;Rebel Rising&#8221; &#8230; which has already sparked controversy over claims against Sacha Baron Cohen and Adele. Now, she&#8217;s coming for her agents, saying they preferred her when she was heavier &#8230; as that meant banking &#8220;hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission for each film where [she] played the fat funny girl.&#8221;

According to Rebel, this left her feeling trapped since there was &#8220;a multimillion-dollar pigeonhole&#8221; over her body size. Remember, she already claimed, while on the &#8220;Call Her Daddy&#8221; podcast, she was contractually obligated not to lose weight while filming the &#8220;Pitch Perfect&#8221; franchise.
Despite this caveat, Rebel still appreciates her work in the musical-comedy trilogy, which cemented her status as a comedic legend.

Remember, Rebel had her breakthrough role in &#8220;Bridesmaids,&#8221; but she says she was paid less than $4K for her appearance in the movie. It was actually the &#8220;Pitch Perfect&#8221; franchise that allowed her to score her first 8-figure deal.
In &#8220;Rebel Rising,&#8221; she details negotiating the big payout for &#8220;Pitch Perfect 3&#8221; &#8212; where she played acapella singer &#8220;Fat Amy.&#8221;

On her decision to write about the massive paycheck in her memoir, the actress told The New York Times &#8230; &#8220;That’s a big milestone when you’re an actor. To receive an 8-figure offer, for a woman, is huge. Sometimes women don’t like to talk about that. Whereas I don’t think the guys have any issues saying they get $20 million a movie.&#8221;
