Rebel Wilson comes under fire from fans after attending the Super Bowl mid-pandemic

Rebel Wilson has been slammed by a string of ‘disappointed’ fans after flying from Los Angeles to Florida to attend the Super Bowl, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The 40-year-old actress took a private jet with five of her pals on Sunday to attend the game in Tampa, which saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.

While it’s clear Rebel would have taken all the necessary precautions – including getting a negative Covid test prior to travelling, and wearing a mask – some thought it was an ‘opportunity lost to influence positive covid safe messages’ and watch the game at home.

‘I’m disappointed to see that you’re not setting an example for your followers,’ one fan wrote. 

‘There shouldn’t be parties, we’re still in a pandemic. Thousands of people are dying every day.’ 

Meanwhile, another added: ‘A real opportunity lost to influence positive covid safe messages.’

Daily Mail Australia have contacted a representative for Rebel for further comment.

This year, the NFL’s safety procedures for the Super Bowl included capping attendance to 25,000 guests, down from over 60,000 who attended last year.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor also issued an executive order at the end of January, saying that masks must be worn in most of the city’s popular destinations until February 13.

In numerous pictures, Rebel was seen sporting a face mask when outdoors, except when she was surrounded by her ‘bubble’ of friends in indoor settings.

The Centers for Disease Prevention urged everyone to celebrate the Super Bowl virtually this year, to try and reduce the potential spread that mass gatherings can bring.

As of Sunday, the US is nearing 27 million Covid-19 cases and over 460,000 deaths.

No expense spared:  While it's not know exactly how much the chartered flight cost, it can be priced at at least $39,000 ($30,000 USD) for a round trip, according to Privatefly.com

Rebel enjoyed quite the luxurious trip as she headed to Tampa, splashing out on a chartered private flight with her pals. 

While it’s not know exactly how much the chartered flight cost, it can be priced at at least $39,000 ($30,000 USD) for a round trip, according to Privatefly.com.

Upon her arrival, Rebel whipped out a cigar and proceeded to put it to her mouth – while admitting she had ‘no idea’ how to smoke it.

She was then spotted at the game itself, posing next to her Pitch Perfect co-star Adam Devine before partying with cheerleaders outside the venue.

Rebel showed off her incredible figure in black jeans and a black top for the occasion, and added a touch of colour with a gorgeous red tartan blazer.

Her expensive trip comes just days after Rebel announced she’d split from her younger boyfriend Jacob Busch, 29.

She dramatically announced she was single by sharing a new portrait to Instagram where she looked glamorous in a blue denim dress outside a trailer.

‘Lots on my mind…aghhhhhh…#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!’ the Pitch Perfect star wrote.

Jacob is estimated to have a net worth of $100million and is heir to the Anheuser-Busch fortune.

According to E! News , distance played a factor in the breakdown of their relationship, with Rebel living in Los Angeles while Jacob resides in Palm Beach.

‘There wasn’t one incident that really happened to end things the relationship just ran its course and fizzled out’, a source told the publication.

‘They spent the holidays apart and it was getting a little hard to make it work since Rebel lives in LA and he lives in Palm Beach.

The insider added the former couple remain good friends and look back on their relationship fondly.
