Rebel Wilson Reasserts Claims in 60 Minutes Interview as ‘The Deb’ Dispute Escalates

Her comments arrive with defamation cases pending in Los Angeles and New South Wales.

Overview

  • Wilson said she felt obligated as director to report what she viewed as a sexual harassment complaint by lead actress Charlotte MacInnes and argued that retaliation followed.
  • Pressed on texts suggesting the actress was "all good" after a disputed bath-and-shower incident, Wilson said she was maintaining professional communication with producer Amanda Ghost while feeling uneasy.
  • Wilson denied directing or creating smear websites targeting Ghost and rejected accusations that she is a bully or liar.
  • Producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden, as well as MacInnes, deny Wilson’s allegations and are pursuing defamation claims, while Wilson’s counterclaims include embezzlement, bullying and false imprisonment; none of the claims have been tested in court.
  • A Los Angeles judge has authorized a request for a U.K. deposition to clarify MacInnes’ relationship with Ghost, and the film is slated for a January 2026 theatrical release in Australia and New Zealand without a North American distributor.
