NSW supreme court judge otherwise dismisses case brought by film’s co-producers and awards Wilson almost $400,000 after star countersued
Rebel Wilson has been ordered to pay A$10 (US$7, £5) in damages after emerging victorious from a bitter legal spat with her latest film’s co-producers.
The Pitch Perfect star directed, co-produced and starred in The Deb, a musical comedy that became the battleground for multiple legal battles in Australia and the US.
Filmed on a $22m budget, The Deb made just $335,000 (US$235,000, £175,284) at the local box office and is yet to screen outside Oceania.
Wilson’s co-producers allege that shortfall could be traced to her false and derogatory statements about them online.
A California judge has rejected a bid to sanction Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson following accusations she lied under oath and manipulated key evidence in her bitter legal battle over her directorial debut, The Deb.
The movie’s producers Amanda Ghost, her husband, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden, sought sanctions against Wilson, accusing her of “fraud on the court.” The request was the latest salvo in the messy war where Ghost is suing Wilson for defamation, and Wilson is pursuing counterclaims against the producers for alleged bullying, intimidation, and breach of contract.
The producers claim that Wilson falsely testified about leaking a demand letter from her lawyer, Bryan Freedman, to a news reporter and falsely denied involvement in two anonymous websites that portrayed Ghost as a sex trafficker. In their motion, the producers said newly obtained evidence contradicted Wilson’s denials and linked her to the letter leak and websites.

Years in the making, the L.A. courtroom showdown between Rebel Wilson and The Deb producers is not going to trial as scheduled.
In a filing Wednesday that has been agreed upon by all the principals, Wilson’s lead lawyer Allyson K. Thompson asked for the long-set January 19, 2027 trial to be pushed back more than two months. In fact, the Hart Kienle Pentecost attorney also requested to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas Long that summary judgment hearings currently scheduled for December also be pushed back.
A hearing in downtown L.A. is on the books for Friday to address the requests. The parties are aiming to have the trial moved to March 22 next year.
