US EditionRebel Wilson Says Claims She Bullied Women on Her Film Are 'Absolute Nonsense'
Wilson denies defaming MacInnes and is expected to be questioned about claims she linked the actor to a harassment complaint and malicious websites.
- A-Lister Rebel Wilson took the witness stand in Sydney Federal Court on Tuesday to defend herself in a high-profile defamation trial brought by Charlotte MacInnes, the lead actor in her directorial debut.
- The legal conflict stems from Instagram posts where Wilson alleged MacInnes retracted a sexual harassment complaint against producer Amanda Ghost to secure professional opportunities, which MacInnes denies.
- Central to the dispute is a 2023 incident where MacInnes and Ghost shared a bath at a Bondi apartment to warm up after Ghost suffered a reaction to cold water during a sunset swim.
- MacInnes' barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC alleged Wilson used the situation as leverage in a commercial dispute, accusing her of "slagging off" the actor rather than providing protection.
- Wilson faces ongoing questioning regarding whether she directed a PR team to create malicious websites attacking Ghost, which she has repeatedly denied despite accusations.
