Rebel Wilson cleared of defaming an actor
Rebel Wilson wins court battle over defamation claims.
An Australian court has cleared Rebel Wilson of defaming the star of her directorial debut, “The Deb,” in social media posts.
Charlotte MacInnes alleged Wilson defamed her or breached her confidence in four social media posts from September 2024 to July 2025 by falsely suggesting she had withdrawn a sexual harassment complaint against one of the film’s producers to advance her career.
MacInnes denied ever making such a complaint but Justice Elizabeth Raper of the Federal Court of Australia ruled on July 22 that none of Wilson’s posts were defamatory.
