Rebel Wilson in Legal Crosshairs: Second Lawsuit from 'The Deb' Producers
REBEL WILSON'S WORLD OF DRAMA: Actress Embroiled in Bitter Feud with The Deb Producers
It's been a wild ride for Rebel Wilson, but this time it seems like her luck has finally run out. The actress is facing not one, but TWO lawsuits from the producers of her stalled film, The Deb! Yes, you read that right - the same people she accused of misconduct and embezzlement have turned the tables on her.
According to a new report by thescholarlynote.com, Rebel Wilson is being sued for defamation in both the US courts and the NSW Supreme Court. And we're about to dive into all the juicy details!
The drama started when Wilson made some pretty serious accusations against The Deb's producers - Vince Holden, Gregor Cameron, and Amanda Ghost. She claimed they had engaged in "inappropriate conduct" towards actress Charlotte MacInnes, who stars alongside her in the film. But that wasn't all - she also accused them of embezzling the film's funds!
But here's where things get really interesting: the producers have countered with a defamation lawsuit against Wilson in the US, and now they're taking her to court in Australia too! They claim she made false and derogatory statements about them, and we can't help but wonder what really went down behind the scenes.
The drama between Wilson and MacInnes started back in September 2023 when Wilson accused the producers of mistreating MacInnes. But MacInnes denied any wrongdoing, saying there was no truth to the allegations. It seemed like a straightforward case of "he said, she said," but things took a turn for the bizarre when Wilson went on Instagram to share some pretty scathing posts about MacInnes.
It all started when MacInnes posted a photo of herself performing at Cannes, and Wilson responded with a tongue-in-cheek comment about MacInnes wearing a culturally insensitive outfit. But that was just the beginning - Wilson also accused MacInnes of rescinding her accusations to get a new role with one of the producers.
But here's the kicker: MacInnes has since come forward to say she never made any complaints about the producers, and that Wilson must have fabricated the whole thing! And if you thought it couldn't get any juicier, it seems like MacInnes even landed a record deal and a lead role in a production called Gatsby: An American Myth!
Wilson's response? She posted some screenshots of news articles on her Instagram Stories, implying that MacInnes was somehow complicit in the whole debacle. But the producers aren't having it - they've filed documents to the Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Wilson made false accusations against them.
MacInnes has spoken out about the drama, saying she never reported any misconduct and that Wilson must have fabricated the whole thing to further her own interests. "I was deeply disturbed by this behaviour by Wilson," MacInnes said in a statement. "Nothing that I told Wilson could reasonably have conveyed that I was reporting any misconduct, because there was no misconduct."
It seems like Rebel Wilson's world of drama is about to get even more complicated! We can't wait to see how this all plays out - stay tuned for more updates on this sordid saga!
