Ruby Rose takes on the Reines of Terror
Dr Mumbo is always sad when a popular journalist is brought down a peg or two by a celebrity, so he’s inconsolable to see Sunday Telegraph columnist Ros Reines take a Twitter pummelling from MTV’s Ruby Rose.
And the situation is all the sadder as Rose demolished the longest story in 44-year-old Reines’ newly downsized column.
In the article, Reines, 54, who was also this week stripped of her “Sydney’s hottest columnist” slogan by the paper, laid into Rose accusing her of being “too precious to walk the red carpet like so many bigger stars” and of being a diva.
But the 64-year-old journo reckoned without Rose invoking the power of Twitter and her 33,000 followers.
so happy ruby stuck up for herself , the tabloids are so harsh on her and she is so hard working. I am proud to be one of 33000 followers <3
Well about time someone confronted Ros.. It seems the Telegraphs columns have nothing better to do then write about Ruby Rose and her associates every week.. well and truly over it. Good On her!
it feels to me everytime i read about ruby rose in the paper that news ltd desperately want to make her a star to lift the profile of her work on foxtel – which they have a large stake in.
Good on Ruby for sticking up for herself! Why shouldn’t she? A few more celebs could probably benefit from her example. Unfortunately a lot of tabloid journo’s don’t go away – no matter how much you ignore them! By getting Reines on the back-foot other journo’s have been warned not to spread vicious rumours…
So how old is she? 44, 54 or 64?
What a ridiculous waste of space this ‘article’ is.
WHO CARES!!!
Haha – Ros gets 10 years older per sentence.
Ouch!
I think that’s the joke, Beadacious….
No way is she younger than 50.
Exactly how old is Reines? She seems to be ageing rapidly as the story progresses.
Sorry – someone already made that point 🙂
Watching “Social Pages” types & Celebrities stumble onto twitter is like watching n00bs joining /b/ , without the fun
Thanks Anon, I just realised that by reading the pingback… D’oh!
Beef sells.
Ros is a hack, [edited by Mumbrella] and worse – stupid. But why does nobody ever mention that Ruby is completely void of talent? She’s good looking, goes to a lot of parties, and is a lesbian, but she can barely form a sentence on-air.
About time Ros Reines is put back in her place, not long after she starts sucking up to her celebs.. Ruby Rose a diva? plese.. think the diva is you Ros starting up false stories.
@Beek: Lovely, you bought the topic back to the real issue – slander…
Rose is widely known for her achievements in her career, when doing things for charity ie. her trip to keyna for Global Vision International, ability to work with young kids for her new USM show, Wear it with Pride, supporting the gay community..along with working as an ambassador for fashion targets breast cancer .. People should ignore the things written about her being a “diva” etc.. think the main point is, people complain about what their reading, well dont read it heck its not that hard.. ohh and could u say you achieved all that above in your life time?? So no its not about who has talent, its the things she does that shape society
Bit hard to tell how old Ros Reins is…given edited by Mumbrella she’s got there
Looks like you put her nose out of joint Dr Mumbo. You are, after all, only “someone who once worked in the outskirts of London on a local paper.”

” MEOW” – the sad part of this is that they continued flinging the shit back and forth!!!
Who really gives a rat’s arse????
As opposed to somebody who works on the outskirts of Surry Hills on a local paper…
Tee and hee…
I’d be annoyed if the stories were about me and might also confront the ‘journalist’, but who really believes them or cares? Even sadder was the people on the fringe trying to get attention from it. The tweets from some of the stirring hangers-on are tragic. They sound like a mob of children – and one appears to be 36 years of age.
Can I just add this comment because I don’t like Ros Reines and want to see this get enough comments to get into the “most discussed” box?
Thanks
Yes, anonymous. Yes you can.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
I realise that entertainment/showbiz is just another beat that journalists take, but surely they don’t actually take it seriously? I mean this:
>@RubyRose1 Thanks Ruby – but it wasn’t just one incident – brewing for a while. Even u would have to admit u can be precious
Apart from the ghastly txt spk (a sure and tragic sign of a late-adopter trying to look “down with it”) where’s the grace? The apology for being wrong? Instead there’s a sort of grossly embarrassing, schoolyard-level attempt to pick a fight.
How about this, which is what any sane person would reply:
———
@RubyRose1 sorry, in all the crowds I missed your camera crew! Let’s catch up again soon and drinks are on me
———
But no. It just gets worse and worse.
Kristy, I’m sure that Ros does do a lot of good things, as do most people many without even letting anyone know. But the fact is that she is hugely subjective. She glowingly praises people who suck up to her and 99% of the time she has her facts extremely wrong. It’s hard to know how she could possibly get it so wrong.
Same with Annette Sharp, she can do some good columns but the majority is the same. Very subjective about people that she is totally wrong about.
I nearly choked on my turkish toast recently to read that failed soapie actress, Kym Wilson, was an “international PR dynamo”, oh please.
Hey, Tim, those of us who appreciated the age gag hope you don’t give up on the Private Eye humour just because some dumb arses didn’t get it…
