Rebel Wilson appears in Sydney court over ‘The Deb’ producers’ sabotage allegations
AI Film says Wilson blocked distribution and made false posts to 11 million followers, while she seeks nearly $800,000 in unpaid fees.
- On Monday, actor Rebel Wilson appeared in the New South Wales Supreme Court to defend against AI Film Production Limited's civil suit alleging she sabotaged her directorial debut, "The Deb."
- Tensions between Wilson and co-producers Amanda Ghost, Greg Cameron, and Vince Holden surfaced in 2024, prompting AI Film's claims that her social media posts breached contracts with false statements about their conduct.
- In a cross-claim, Wilson alleged the producers engaged in "a troubling pattern of illicit egregious behaviors," while seeking nearly $800,000 in unpaid fees and accusing them of embezzling $642,000.
- The hearing, which included testimony from Holden, was adjourned until Tuesday; this follows Wilson's July defamation victory against "The Deb" star Charlotte MacInnes, though MacInnes may appeal.
- Although "The Deb" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, the film was released this April and has since spent more time discussed in courtrooms than in theaters.
