Overview

  • On August 7, MacInnes’s lawyers issued a Concerns Notice under Western Australian defamation law after Wilson alleged on Instagram that the actress lied about being sexually assaulted by producer Amanda Ghost.
  • The notice describes Wilson’s posts as “false and seriously defamatory” and asserts that MacInnes was accused of changing her story to secure roles and a record deal.
  • Under the notice, Wilson has 28 days to respond with an offer of correction or apology before MacInnes can initiate formal defamation proceedings.
  • MacInnes is seeking unspecified damages, legal costs, and a permanent injunction to prevent Wilson from publishing similar defamatory statements.
  • This notice adds to ongoing litigation in Los Angeles between Wilson and The Deb’s producers and a separate New South Wales suit by AI Film accusing Wilson of sabotaging the film’s distribution.
