Rebel Wilson Accused of Lying About Sacha Baron Cohen Abuse: Lawsuit
Producers of Rebel Wilson’s upcoming film, The Deb, are hitting back at the star as they amend their discrimination suit against her. According to Variety, the plaintiffs in the suit, producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden filed an amended complaint Monday that further accuses Wilson of defamation.
According to the outlet, the defamation suit stems from a July 10 Instagram video Wilson posted. In the video, Wilson accuses the three of “inappropriate behavior toward the lead actress of the film,” “embezzling funds from the film’s budget,” and of sabotaging the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. According to Wilson, she reported them for their behavior, and they retaliated.
In the amended complaint, Ghost, Cameron, and Holden accuse Wilson, who stars in and directed the film, of being absent from the set for months and making things up over a writing credit dispute.
