Overview

  • Charlotte MacInnes issued a Concerns Notice on August 7 under Australian defamation law after Wilson accused her on Instagram of fabricating sexual misconduct allegations for career favors.
  • The notice requires Wilson to offer a correction or apology within 28 days or face formal defamation proceedings in Australia’s Supreme Court.
  • MacInnes’s lawyers allege Wilson’s public statements falsely accused her of trading misconduct claims for roles and a record deal without her consent.
  • This legal move joins a tangled dispute that began with a July 2024 defamation suit by The Deb’s producers in Los Angeles, Wilson’s October countersuit alleging on-set misconduct, and a July 2025 AI Film lawsuit in New South Wales.
  • Rebel Wilson’s musical The Deb closed the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival but remains unreleased as overlapping lawsuits over embezzlement, bullying and reputation continue.
