Rebel Wilson Slammed by Producers of Her Directorial Debut in Amended Defamation Suit That Invokes Her ‘False’ Claims About Sacha Baron Cohen
Producers of 'The Deb' say Rebel Wilson’s "malicious lies" mirror the "false allegations" she made about Sacha Baron Cohen’s alleged misconduct.
Also noteworthy, the defamation suit attempts to throw cold water on Wilson’s recent claims that Sacha Baron Cohen sexually harassed her on the set of the 2016 R-rated comedy “The Brothers Grimsby.” The amended complaint, filed by attorneys Camille Vasquez, Samuel Moniz and Honieh Udenka, claims that Wilson “has a history of fabricating false and malicious lies to hide her own lack of professionalism and advance her own self-interest.” It adds: “This lawsuit is about holding Rebel accountable for her attempts to bully Plaintiffs into conceding to her unreasonable demands by spreading vicious lies without regard for the irreparable damage her reckless words would cause on the hard-earned personal and professional reputations of Plaintiffs.” “Rebel knew when she made the statements … that they were false, and/or acted with reckless disregard of the truth, including because she was informed by the lead actress that Ms. Ghost did not do anything inappropriate or wrongful, and because she was kept fully appraised of the film’s budget,” the suit states.
