Instead of celebrating her recent movie’s launch, Rebel Wilson is facing defamation claims filed by her lead actress, Charlotte MacInnes. Wilson, who debuted as a director with her film The Deb, was described as a “bully” among other names in the court battle.
During the trial at the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney, MacInnes’ lawyer, Sue Chrysanthou, accused Wilson of being “enraged” when the film’s writer, Hannah Reilly, refused to give the director co-writing credits. The attorney cited an email angrily sent by Wilson to Reilly’s agent. This is just one of the scenarios highlighted by Chrysanthou on the first day of the trial against Wilson.
