Rebel Wilson faces new allegations of misconduct in an ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by the producers of her 2024 film "The Deb." The legal dispute centers on claims made by Wilson against the film’s producers, including Amanda Ghost, Vince Holden, and Gregor Cameron.

The controversy began after Wilson accused the producers of embezzling funds from the movie’s budget and alleged that one of the producers had sexually abused lead actress Charlotte MacInnes. MacInnes, 28, previously filed a separate defamation suit against Wilson after Wilson accused her of minimizing the alleged abuse for career advancement. That case was resolved earlier this year in Wilson’s favor.

In court filings submitted on Tuesday, Ghost’s legal team accused Wilson of providing false testimony under oath and manipulating evidence related to the defamation suit. Ghost’s attorney argued that Wilson’s actions have compromised the fairness of the legal proceedings and materially hindered the producers’ ability to receive a just trial. According to the filings, Wilson twice attempted unsuccessfully to have the suit dismissed and is now accused of deliberately destroying key evidence as well as fabricating or altering evidence presented in the case.

The dispute also involves an incident in 2023 when Ghost and MacInnes were photographed together in a bathtub at a Sydney apartment after swimming. MacInnes stated she was in the tub wearing a bathing suit to help Ghost warm up following a cold sea water reaction. Wilson, who directed "The Deb," claimed on social media that MacInnes had been uncomfortable during that episode, an assertion the producers and MacInnes have contested.

A trial is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles in January, where these allegations and counterclaims are expected to be examined in detail. The case underscores the complex and contentious legal battles surrounding the production and aftermath of the film.
