- Rebel Wilson is facing a defamation lawsuit in Sydney, brought by Charlotte MacInnes, the lead actor in Wilson's directorial debut, The Deb.
- MacInnes alleges Wilson falsely claimed on Instagram that MacInnes had privately confided about being sexually harassed by producer Amanda Ghost.
- Court filings suggest Wilson failed to verify these claims and implied MacInnes lied when she denied discussing harassment or inappropriate behaviour.
- It was heard in court that a crisis PR team allegedly hired by Wilson to attack Ghost referred to Wilson as “f***ing nuts” in text messages.
- MacInnes is seeking aggravated damages and a court order to prevent Wilson from repeating the allegations, with the film's Australian release having been delayed due to the legal issues.
