Latest News about Rebel Wilson
An New South Wales Supreme Court judge awarded Rebel Wilson A$359,000 plus interest in a dispute with the co-producers of The Deb. The co-producers were awarded only A$10 in damages, as most of their claims were dismissed. A written judgment is still to follow.
Lawyers for Rebel Wilson and the producers of The Deb asked a Los Angeles court to postpone the January 2027 trial over the producers' defamation claims. The parties proposed moving it to March 2027 or a later mutually acceptable date, with related summary judgment hearings also expected to shift.
Girl Group, a comedy that Rebel Wilson directed, wrote and produced, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Wilson alongside Jennifer Coolidge and Randall Park, and it received positive reviews.
The Federal Court of Australia dismissed defamation and breach-of-confidence claims brought by Charlotte MacInnes, the lead actor in The Deb, over Wilson's Instagram posts. The court also ordered MacInnes to pay Wilson's legal costs. MacInnes has since appealed the ruling.
