Aussie actress slams Rebel Wilson’s ‘absurd’ claims she was sexually harassed by a producer on set of new film The Deb

As a seasoned observer of human dynamics, particularly within the entertainment industry, I find myself increasingly drawn to the fascinating and complex saga that unfolds before our eyes – the ongoing drama surrounding Rebel Wilson and her latest project, The Deb.

The central actress in the controversy surrounding the movie “The Deb,” which pits Rebel Wilson against its producers, has refuted Wilson’s allegations of sexual harassment on the film’s set.

As a lifestyle expert speaking in the first person, I find myself in an unexpected situation. In July, I was faced with a lawsuit filed by producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron, and Vince Holden, who have accused me of making false claims that they had embezzled funds from our movie project. They’ve also alleged that my behavior towards them has been unjustifiably vicious and retaliatory. This is not the narrative I would choose to share about myself, but it’s an important part of my journey that I must address transparently.

In a countersuit, Wilson, 44, has accused the producers of sabotaging the film project, embezzling funds and sexually harassing the lead star – Charlotte MacInnes.

As a lifestyle expert, I recently came across some intriguing information regarding a young woman named MacInnes, aged 25, and her professional experiences in Hollywood. In court documents filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court and subsequently obtained by The Guardian, she asserts that she proactively communicated with Wilson, the movie’s director, expressing that she had never been subjected to sexual harassment by one of the film’s producers, Amanda Ghost.

Regardless of being told that such behavior was never displayed, it’s claimed she persisted in accusing Ghost of sexually harassing and abusing MacInnes.

According to MacInnes, he found Wilson’s conduct extremely unsettling as Wilson was the movie director and held a superior position over him.

In the conversation with Wilson, there was nothing said that could logically imply I was disclosing any wrongdoing, as there was simply no wrongdoing to report.

Additionally, it has been asserted that I faced inappropriate sexual requests and that MacInnes was held against her will by Ghost and another producer. This allegedly occurred as she was transported between various cities, such as Boston, New York, and London, with them.

“The things stated here are entirely untrue and preposterous. I’m utterly baffled as to why Wilson and her legal representative would invent falsehoods about me.

The makers of The Deb have sued the Australian comedian for defamation, stating that her allegations are ‘fabricated’ and lack ‘any connection to truth.’

It is alleged that she is guilty of bullying and making false accusations against Ghost regarding inappropriate conduct towards MacInnes. In the defamation lawsuit, Ghost states that the actress firmly rejected any claim of such behavior when questioned about Wilson’s allegations. (Paraphrased with a focus on readability)

A lawsuit report acquired by DailyMail.com indicates that the conflict originated due to disagreements regarding credit for the script and inappropriate conduct displayed by Wilson during filming of The Deb, which had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last month.

According to the producers, when Wilson disagreed on these issues, she spread a false accusation that Ghost had sexually harassed one of the main actors in “The Deb.” This story is completely unfounded, as the actress involved in this defamatory claim has consistently stated that it is not true.

Previously, I affirmed to DailyMail.com that I am the actress mentioned in the legal action, and I vehemently criticized Wilson for tarnishing genuine victims with her supposedly unfounded allegations.

She said: ‘There is no truth to the allegations made involving me. I made a statement to the film team when this was first said in September 2023 and am saying this now to draw a line under it.

“I won’t allow myself to be part of a fictitious story, as spreading untruths discredits actual victims.

Exclusive court documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that Wilson has filed a lawsuit against producers Ghost, Gregory Cameron, and Vince Holden, alleging they embezzled approximately 900,000 AUD (620,000 USD, 467,351 GBP) by artificially inflating the budget of the movie.

Additionally, Wilson claims that Ghost not only gave false assurances to win her cooperation, such as a writing credit and recording deal that never came to fruition, but also coerced her into signing contracts under the threat of damaging her career if she refused.

Additionally, she asserts that Cameron, Ghost’s spouse, used ‘intimidation in a physical sense.’ Further, she alleges that both Cameron and his wife conspired to ‘threaten’ or ‘weaken’ the movie.

As per the lawsuit, it’s claimed that Ghost provided special care to the renowned Colombian artist Shakira during his tenure as president at Epic Records.

However, in a statement to DailyMail.com Shakira denied the accusation.

For over fifteen years, I’ve had the pleasure of calling Amanda my friend. We’ve collaborated on creating beautiful music, and our bond is rooted in mutual respect and affection.

I’ve always found our interactions harmonious, so it leaves me puzzled and disheartened when someone unjustly insinuates we’ve had disagreements.

Wilson continues to stand firm with his accusations that MacInnes experienced sexual harassment from Ghost, even though MacInnes has publicly denied any such incidents in a statement shared with DailyMail.com.

The musical comedy titled “The Deb” unfolds around the tale of rural girl, Taylah Simpkins, and her urban-dwelling cousin, Maehve, who embark on a quest to find suitable dates for an upcoming social event.

In this movie, MacInnes makes her debut as the main character, Maeve, earning rave critic acclaim for her acting skills.

Earlier, she appeared on an Australian television show called North Shore, which was a murder mystery series. In May, she took to the American stage for the first time, playing the character Daisy in a musical rendition of The Great Gatsby.

However, the film’s debut has been overshadowed by a feud, as Wilson responded to the producers with an Instagram video in July following the disclosure of the lawsuit. In the video, he shared with his followers: “It’s not libel if it’s the TRUTH – those ‘producers’ I mentioned earlier have just sued me for defamation…

Previously, she labeled them as ‘repugnant and abhorrent,’ alleged their actions as ‘unacceptable,’ and further supported her allegations of financial misconduct.

In this situation, the focus is on an argument concerning screenwriting credits for The Deb, with allegations that she exhibited intimidating behavior while working on the project.

According to a complaint viewed by DailyMail.com, Wilson stands charged with abusive conduct, along with concocting a tale regarding MacInnes.

In my expertise, I’ve noticed that [Wilson] has a tendency to spin tales, often fabricating falsehoods and spreading malicious gossip. This seems to be a strategy she uses to cover up her own shortcomings in professionalism and instead prioritize her personal gains.

‘This lawsuit is about holding Rebel accountable for her attempts to bully Plaintiffs into conceding to her unreasonable demands by spreading vicious lies without regard for the irreparable damage her reckless words would cause on the hard-earned personal and professional reputations of Plaintiffs.’

For quite some time, Rebel has been known for her charming, humorous character in movies, while behind the scenes, she’s advocated for fellow female artists and stood up as a whistleblower against unacceptable behavior within the movie industry.

Behind this public image lies a facade. In reality, Rebel often behaves like a bully, putting her own interests above those of others.

The plaintiffs assert that they trusted ‘Rebel,’ who was relatively inexperienced in the field of direction and production, but they argue she stubbornly declined to work together with them and displayed reckless behavior instead.

The court battle over The Deb follows a controversy earlier this year over a chapter in Wilson’s memoir, Rebel Rising, in which she claimed Sasha Baron Cohen harassed her on the set of The Brothers Grimsby.

In the movie, Wilson asserted that Baron Cohen, her on-screen partner as Dawn, frequently made her feel uneasy by demanding more nudity from her and by inquiring, “Rebel, could you simply insert your finger into my behind?” during a particular scene.

Following Baron Cohen, aged 52, labeling the statements as “easily disproven” and hinting at legal action, the publication of the book included censored sections in the United Kingdom to prevent potential violations of its strict libel and defamation regulations.
