Rebel Wilson Launches Explosive Countersuit Against 'The Deb' Producers Over Alleged Theft and Abuse
Rebel Wilson Fires Back With Jaw-Dropping Allegations
Hollywood rarely shies away from drama, but the battle between Rebel Wilson and the producers of The Deb is playing out like a high-stakes legal thriller. After being slapped with a defamation lawsuit by producers Amanda Ghost, Cameron Gregor, and Vince Holden, Wilson has countersued, spinning an intense web of accusations that extend far beyond the set of the musical film.
Wilson’s legal complaint doesn’t beat around the bush. She claims the producers, who sued her in July 2024 over accusations she made on Instagram, are guilty of a range of offenses. Top of the list: sexual harassment, intimidation, and even theft. If proven, the accusations could rock the behind-the-scenes world of entertainment.
According to the suit, Ghost, one of the producer trio, allegedly sexually harassed lead actress Charlotte MacInnes. The complaint states Ghost forced MacInnes to share a posh Bondi Beach penthouse apartment during filming, creating an uncomfortable dynamic. On top of that, Wilson accuses Ghost of making repeated sexual comments on set, further adding to what she describes as a toxic work environment.
The story doesn’t stop at sexual harassment. Wilson paints an alarming picture involving Cameron Gregor, alleging he unlawfully imprisoned not just herself, but also two Australian production assistants. She says the trio was locked in a room and subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse. Wilson’s lawyers argue that the producers leveraged moments of chaos to coerce her into signing legal agreements against her wishes—moving from accusations of bad behavior to outright intimidation and contract manipulation.
Legal Mayhem as Suits and Countersuits Collide
All of these claims hit the courtroom after the initial fireworks began with the producers’ defamation case. Ghost, Gregor, and Holden say Wilson’s public Instagram posts about embezzlement and film festival sabotage were nothing more than baseless attacks. They accuse her of launching a smear campaign because she wanted a writing credit for The Deb and a spot at the Toronto International Film Festival. Legal filings paint the rivalry as a personal and financial grudge match, not just a creative dispute gone wrong.
On her side, Wilson claims that the misconduct went far beyond the movie’s production. According to her legal filings, the producers' troublesome behavior didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling—instead, it bled into her personal life. Wilson alleges that her friends have experienced harassment connected to the ongoing drama, escalating the feud well outside the studio gates.
The countersuit is not shy about what Wilson wants: she’s seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, legal fee coverage, and any other remedies the court will allow. For now, both the defamation suit from the producers and Wilson’s explosive countersuit remain very much alive. Wilson’s earlier attempt to dismiss the producers’ case fell flat in court, meaning everything is set for a dramatic legal showdown.
The entertainment community is watching closely as allegations of theft and sexual misconduct mingle with claims of professional sabotage, raising major questions about how these conflicts get handled in showbiz. And with personal reputations, creative credits, and a lot of money on the line, don’t expect this fight to disappear quietly.
