This claim appears to be true, as The Independent revealed an excerpt from Rebel Wilson's new memoir. The publication claims that Wilson wrote, "Some actresses would get offended if I called them plus-sized in this book, so I have to be careful with what I say. This is why, I think, Adele hates me." Taken from Wilson's book, this quote proves that Adele was namedropped in the celebrity's new memoir.
