“It was only a week until I got mum-shamed,” she told the Life Uncut podcast after going to Leonardo DiCaprio‘s birthday party and Paris Hilton‘s wedding anniversary on the same night.

Rebel was asked how she processed other people’s judgment on her parenting. “I was shocked at the criticism because Chris Hemsworth goes to the gym, and people aren’t yelling, “Where’s your kids?” But why do they do it to every woman?”

Rebel said her nanny encouraged her to go out since the baby is usually asleep by 7pm anyway. “It’s a little bit of work in a way. Like, I’m talking to directors or talking to other actors that might be useful to collaborate with. And then we were basically home by midnight,” she said.

The Pitch Perfect actress addressed gender stereotypes and the different ways people judge fathers versus mothers. “Just because you become a mother, doesn’t mean that you lose your identity as a person. It doesn’t mean you can’t go out with friends or you can’t go on a holiday. It doesn’t mean you can’t have a career,” she said.
