Overview
- The nine-day Federal Court hearing, which wrapped Friday, ended with Justice Elizabeth Raper reserving her decision.
- MacInnes’s barrister Sue Chrysanthou called Wilson a “fantastical liar,” arguing nothing sexual occurred and pointing to contradictions in Wilson’s account, including evidence from producer Greer Simpkin.
- Wilson’s lawyer Dauid Sibtain said it was “preposterous” to suggest Wilson invented a complaint, arguing MacInnes changed her story for career gains including a Gatsby role and a Warner Music deal.
- It is undisputed that producer Amanda Ghost and MacInnes shared a bath in swimwear after Ghost suffered a reaction to cold water at Bondi, while messages tendered in court show Wilson later texted Ghost that MacInnes found the situation “bizarre” rather than personally uncomfortable.
- MacInnes seeks aggravated damages and says Wilson’s posts led to online abuse, distress, and lost work, in a case that underscores the risks when celebrity social media drives reputational claims.
