Rebel Wilson Again Rips “Absolute F*ckwits” Backers Of Her ‘The Deb’ Directorial Debut As Legal Battle Heats Up

deadline.com:

Rebel Wilson hasn’t formally responded to the defamation lawsuit producers of The Deb hit her with on July 12, but she made her point of view very clear online today. “Len Blavatnik, please stop funding and protecting Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden,” said the Jojo Rabbit actress in an Instagram story Wednesday of the producers of her directorial debut and their AI Film moneyman. “Clearly these recent press articles and constant retaliations against me for speaking the truth on my small Australian movie are FALSE,” Wilson went on to say today. “All I did was tell the truth about these absolute fuckwits’ – now they launch a bogus defamation suit and bogus articles to inflict further harm.” Or as Wilson’s bare knuckled fighting lawyer Bryan Freedman told Deadline today: “The number of people who back up Rebel’s experience is staggering.” Wilson first lashed out against the producing trio on July 10, accusing them of nixing a prime Toronto International Film Festival spot for The Deb.

Wilson also alleged that Ghost, Cameron and Holden were guilty ofinappropriate behavior towards the lead actress of the film”,  as well as embezzlement and retaliation.

The producers denied the accusations almost immediately, and then followed up with legal action in LA Superior Court. “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,” the filing from Brown Rudnick LLP’s Camille Vasquez (yes, of Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard fame) stated.
