Rebel Wilson labelled claims she bullied women on a film set “absolute nonsense” as she gave evidence for the first time in a defamation case against her in Sydney.
The legal war centres on Wilson’s directorial debut The Deb, a musical about two Australian teenagers attending a debutantes’ ball. Its lead actor, Charlotte MacInnes, is suing the Bridesmaids star for defamation after Wilson said in a social media post that MacInnes made and later withdrew a sexual harassment complaint against Amanda Ghost, a producer on the film, to further her career.
