A leaked audio recording has implicated members of Rebel Wilson's crisis public relations team in discussions about a plan to smear a Hollywood producer by portraying her as a sex trafficker. The recording has intensified an already active legal dispute tied to Wilson's directorial debut, 'Deb'.

The case dates to 2024, when Wilson posted a video accusing the film's producers of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the production budget and of engaging in inappropriate behaviour with lead actress Charlotte MacInnes. The legal proceedings have continued since, and the recording has added a new dimension to an already contentious dispute.
