Overview

• AI Film filed its complaint in the New South Wales Supreme Court on July 24, alleging Wilson used legal threats and false statements to block distribution deals for her directorial debut.
• The production company is seeking unspecified damages along with a formal apology, corrective advertising and a permanent order preventing further disparaging claims.
• Wilson took to Instagram Stories to denounce the lawsuit as “complete nonsense,” accused her former partners of bullying and shared the film’s opening musical number with followers.
• The Deb closed the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival but has yet to secure a public release as legal battles continue in both Australia and Los Angeles.
• This Australian suit joins an ongoing US defamation case between Wilson and producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden over competing allegations of embezzlement and misconduct.
