Judge Tosses Most of Rebel Wilson’s Case, Clears Limited Probe Into Alleged Smear Sites

The judge set 90 days of discovery on alleged anonymous websites before a May 5 hearing.

Overview

  • Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Thomas Long dismissed or struck most of Wilson’s claims as immaterial or conclusory and denied her bid to amend.
  • Amanda Ghost was removed from nearly all individual causes of action, with only an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim still pending against her.
  • The case proceeds solely on breach of contract and fair-dealing claims against AI Film tied to Wilson’s work on The Deb.
  • The court authorized limited discovery into the alleged smear websites, including a deposition of former TAG PR employee Katie Case and document subpoenas within a 90-day window.
  • Court filings reference TAG PR messages suggesting Wilson wanted a harsh site about Ghost, which Wilson denies, and a sworn declaration from actress Charlotte MacInnes disputed Wilson’s harassment allegation.
