Rebel Wilson is "deeply sorry" for last week's comments that landed her in hot water.

On "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last Wednesday, Wilson claimed she was the "first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy," while discussing her new film "Isn't It Romantic."

Social media users jumped on Twitter to refute Wilson's statement, pointing out the likes of comedian Mo'Nique and rapper Queen Latifah. (Mo'Nique starred in the 2006 romantic comedy "Phat Girlz" and Queen Latifah led 2006's "The Last Holiday" and 2010's "Just Wright.")

The "Bridesmaids" breakout further fanned the Twitterverse flames by arguing a "slight grey area" on the films before her time: "It was questionable as to whether: 1. Technically those actresses were plus size when filming those movies or 2. Technically those films are (categorized)/billed as a studio rom-com with a sole lead."

Many accused Wilson of denying black representation and ignoring the achievements of African-American women, including Mo'Nique herself.

"Hey my sweet sister. Let’s please not allow this business to erase our talent with giving grey areas and technicalities," the comedian tweeted Saturday. "Take a moment and know the history. DON’T BE A PART OF ERASING IT. I wish you the best."

The criticism apparently got to be too much for Wilson, and she started blocking many users of color, birthing the #RebelWilsonBlockedMe hashtag.

Days after making her controversial remarks, the "Pitch Perfect" actress took to Twitter to walk back her comment and apologize to those she offended.

"In a couple of well-intentioned moments, hoping to lift my fellow plus sized women up, I neglected to show the proper respect to those who climbed this mountain before me like Mo’Nique, Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, Ricki Lake and likely many others," she wrote.

She continued: "With the help of some very compassionate and well-thought out responses from others on social media, I now realize what I said was not only wrong but also incredibly hurtful. To be part of a problem I was hoping I was helping makes it that much more embarrassing."

Referencing the growing #RebelWilsonBlockedMe party, the actress said she "blocked people on Twitter because I was hurting from the criticism." However, she admitted "those are the people I actually need to hear from more, not less."

"Again, I am deeply sorry," Wilson concluded.
