Rebel Wilson Film ‘The Deb’ Screens at WME Amid Bare-Knuckled Battle Between ‘Pitch Perfect’ Actor and the Producers (EXCLUSIVE)
'The Deb,' which has been caught in the middle of a public feud between Rebel Wilson and a trio of producers, screened for industry figures on Monday.
The coming-of-age musical, which has been caught in the middle of a bare-knuckled brawl between director Rebel Wilson and a trio of producers, screened for a select group of industry figures at WME ’s offices in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon. Before the screening, the “Pitch Perfect” star made a quick speech thanking everyone for showing up and urged guests “to laugh and cry and feel anything they wanted.” After the credits rolled, Wilson reemerged and teared up, apparently moved by the crowd’s enthusiastic response, according to an attendee. Wilson also went scorched earth earlier this year when she accused Sacha Baron Cohen of sexually harassing her and pressuring her to do nudity on the set of “The Brothers Grimsby.” The claims were made in her memoir “Rebel Rising.” Those passages were removed from editions of the book published in the U.K. and Australia, though they remain in the U.S. version as well other international territories.
