Overview

• Lead actor Charlotte MacInnes filed a Federal Court defamation claim on September 22 after an August concerns notice, seeking damages, breach of confidence relief, costs and a restraining order.
• The filing alleges Wilson asked U.S. publicist Melissa Nathan to set up sites such as amandaghost.com and amandaghostsucks.com that attacked producer Amanda Ghost and carried false claims about MacInnes.
• Court documents include PR text messages discussing the plan to portray Ghost as a 'madam,' including one reply saying, 'Oh my god lol OK this one will be fun.'
• Wilson has not yet filed a defence, and she told the Daily Mail she had nothing to do with the websites and that her legal team helped get them taken down.
• The dispute is part of wider litigation over The Deb, including an NSW Supreme Court case by A. I. Film alleging Wilson blocked the film’s release and falsely identified MacInnes as a victim, and the movie remains unreleased.
