Overview

• A.I Film filed a lawsuit in the New South Wales Supreme Court on July 24, alleging Wilson breached her contract and deliberately undermined the distribution of her directorial debut, The Deb.
• The complaint claims Wilson threatened an Australian distributor with an injunction despite contractual prohibitions, prompting it to withdraw its release proposal.
• Wilson took to Instagram to reject the suit as “complete nonsense,” accusing the producers of bullying and harassment.
• The Deb premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024 but remains unreleased as legal battles continue both in Australia and the U.S.
• A.I Film is seeking damages, a formal apology, and corrective advertising at Wilson’s expense to clear the path for the film’s wider release.
