Producers Sue ‘Bully’ Rebel Wilson for Defamation Over Embezzlement, Misconduct Claims

Producers behind Rebel Wilson's directorial debut 'The Deb' sued the actress for defamation over claims she made about them on Instagram.

After the writing credit didn’t change, the suit claims that Wilson “revived a fictitious story about Ms. Ghost sexually harassing a lead actor in ‘The Deb’ that has absolutely no basis in reality, as the actor that is the subject of this defamatory tale has repeatedly confirmed.” The producers also state that Wilson had “no basis” in her embezzlement allegations. She granted a young artist a scholarship to develop a screenplay for ‘The Deb’ (the ‘Film’), and then tried to claim writing credit for herself,” the suit alleges. In her memoir, Wilson accused Sacha Baron Cohen of behaving like a “massive asshole” while filming the movie The Brothers Grimsby.
