Rebel Wilson has broken her silence on the long-running legal scandal surrounding her directorial debut film, The Deb. In an interview full of revelation, Wilson addressed a number of lawsuits and serious allegations against the producers of the film and its lead actress, Charlotte MacInnes. She described how she became a whistleblower after reporting misconduct and sexual harassment concerns that had triggered legal retaliations against her.
She told of how she was held captive with local producers and forced to sign documents once production on the project had descended into chaos. The strife stemmed from disputes with UK producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron, and Vince Holden, whom she claimed bullied, harassed, robbed, and siphoned funds off of her. She said she complained of inappropriate behavior on Amanda Ghost’s part toward MacInnes. The producers and lead actress filed a defamation lawsuit against Wilson.
In acting upon that accusation, Wilson rightly said it was her “worst nightmare” and thus her moral and ethical duty. She denied participating in online sites which malign Ghost as a sex trafficker, and she took offense at accusations she orchestrated such attacks. Wilson says the lawsuit is an “absurd use” of the Australian court system, while she also has no choice but to report the on-set wrongdoing.
