(Photo : REUTERS) Rebel Wilson's barbs about older actresses made her fair game, Mamamia's publisher says.
Rebel Wilson has been accused by Australian tabloid, Woman's Day, of lying about her name, as well as her age. But when the story started making their rounds online, the comedienne hilariously responded in the best way possible.
The 29-year old Australian actress wrote on Twitter that she's actually a mermaid, who's 100 years old known as CC Chalice and continued to say, "Thanks shady Australian press for your tall poppy syndrome x."

And while she sarcastically clarified the rumors, she did own up to one claim and said that her real name is "Fat Patricia," referencing one of her funny lines from the first Pitch Perfect movie.
Woman's Day claimed that Wilson had an extremely normal and upper middle-class upbringing instead of the "ghetto" part of Sydney the actress previously claimed.
The magazine's source insisted Wilson fabricated her stories and said that she probably made them up to "make it in Hollywood."
According to the report, Wilson's real name is Melanie Bownds and is actually already 36 years old. A former classmate provided a yearbook photo, which appears to be Wilson but is identified as Bownds.
Another source revealed that while Wilson painted this picture of having "a gypsy upbringing," her real family home was not in any way "ghetto."
Though Wilson has denied the accusations and kept cool about it, news outlets are currently reporting that they have obtained legal documents to support their claims.
But if there is anyone who can clear this rumor up for good, that would have to be Wilson's own "paparazzi" mom. During the premiere of her new movie, Pitch Perfect 2, Wilson told E! News that she asked her mom to stay at home because she aggressively takes pictures of her.
"I am like, 'Mom don't do it. It's really embarrassing.'" She jokingly added, "I'm trying to be a cool movie star," but revealed that her mom is totally unstoppable.
