Rebel Wilson was sued for defamation by „The Deb“ producers after she called them out for alleged „inappropriate behavior“ on set and „embezzling.“
Rebel Wilson is being sued for defamation by “The Deb” producers after she alleged they embezzled funds from the movie and had “inappropriate behavior” on set.
In court documents obtained by Page Six Friday, Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden said they were taking legal action against the “Pitch Perfect” star to hold her “accountable for her attempts to bully” them into meeting her “unreasonable demands by spreading vicious lies without regard for the irreparable damage her reckless words would cause” them.
Overall, the plaintiffs described Wilson as someone who acts like “a champion of other female artists and whistleblower against abusive conduct within the film industry” but in reality is “a bully who will disregard the interests of others to promote her own.”
They supported their case by arguing that Wilson, 44, made false accusations against a fellow actor in her memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
She made headlines earlier this year for claiming her “Grimsby” co-star Sacha Baron Cohen tried forcing her to stick her finger in his rear end after she denied participating in a fully nude scene. His name was not mentioned in the lawsuit.
Furthermore, they accused the Australian comedian of granting a young artist — Hannah Reilly — a scholarship to develop the screenplay for “The Deb” and getting upset when she was not given the full writing credit.
