Actress at center of defamation suit against Rebel Wilson is REVEALED as drama from Australian star's new film 'The Deb' escalates


The actress at the center of the extraordinary legal spat on set of new film 'The Deb' has been identified for the first time as she speaks out against the film's director Rebel Wilson.

Wilson, 44, accused producers of sabotaging the film project, embezzling funds, and sexually harassing the lead star - now revealed to be MacInnes - in a demand letter in June as well as a video shared on her Instagram account in July. Now, a legal complaint obtained by DailyMail.com reveals the feud broke out following a series of disputes over writing credits and Wilson's behavior on set of The Deb, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month. After Baron Cohen, 52, described the claims as 'demonstrably false' and threatened to call the lawyers in, the book was published with redactions in the UK to avoid falling foul of the country's notoriously tough libel and defamation laws.
