Rebel Wilson is facing a defamation lawsuit from “The Deb” producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden after accusing them of embezzlement and inappropriate behavior on set. They describe Wilson as a bully who spread lies to advance her own interests, despite portraying herself as a champion for female artists. The producers argue that Wilson made false accusations against a fellow actor and sought credit for work she did not do. Wilson denies the allegations and claims to have 200 witnesses supporting her. The lawsuit comes after Wilson expressed frustration that the film was not premiering at a festival, accusing the producers of retaliation for reporting their misconduct. The producers counter by alleging Wilson's poor behavior on set, including refusal to collaborate and unauthorized disclosures about the film. Wilson has vowed to defend herself against the lawsuit, insisting that she did an amazing job as a first-time female director.
