Rebel Wilson defamation lawsuit
Definition
A high-profile 2026 defamation case in Australia's Federal Court where actress Charlotte MacInnes sued Rebel Wilson over Instagram posts from 2024-2025. Wilson claimed MacInnes had accused producer Amanda Ghost of sexual harassment during a swimsuit bath incident on the set of Wilson's film 'The Deb' but recanted for career advancement; MacInnes denies any such complaint and alleges reputational damage.
The lawsuit stems from a disputed September 2023 Bondi Beach event where Ghost had a medical reaction, leading to the bath; Wilson defends on grounds of truth, denying bullying or fabricating claims, amid ongoing trial proceedings as of April 2026.
