Rebel Wilson wins defamation case brought by young actress
Justice Elizabeth Raper found Wilson’s posts were substantially true and MacInnes failed to show serious harm, ending the long-running dispute.
- Federal Court Justice Elizabeth Raper dismissed the defamation case against Rebel Wilson on Wednesday, ruling the actor's Instagram posts did not convey the defamatory meanings alleged by Actor Charlotte MacInnes.
- Wilson suggested in Instagram posts that MacInnes lied about a sexual harassment complaint against producer Amanda Ghost to secure career opportunities, an allegation MacInnes denied.
- Central to the trial was a disputed bath incident at a Bondi Beach apartment where Wilson claimed MacInnes reported harassment, though MacInnes maintained she never made such a complaint.
- Justice Raper ordered MacInnes to pay Wilson's legal costs, while Wilson posted she is "grateful this chapter has reached its conclusion" and looks forward to returning to her work.
- Wilson still faces separate lawsuits in Australia, London, and the NSW Supreme Court brought by international co-producers of The Deb regarding disputes over the film's release.
