Australian Court Dismisses Defamation Case Against Rebel WilsonPreviousNext

Australian actor Rebel Wilson won a defamation case against Charlotte MacInnes, who accused Wilson of harming her reputation through Instagram posts. A Sydney court dismissed the case, ruling that MacInnes did not prove serious harm to her reputation. The posts referenced allegations of sexual harassment involving a producer on Wilson's directorial debut, The Deb. The court also ordered MacInnes to pay Wilson's legal costs.
