Days after Rebel Wilson assailed the backers of her directorial debut The Deb, those producers filed a defamation suit against her today in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Suit comes from producers Amanda Ghost and Gregory Cameron and exec producer Vince Holden, whom Wilson accused of “vile and disgusting behavior” and blocking the film from a closing night Toronto Film Festival premiere.
Per the just-filed 12-page complaint (read it in fill here): “Defendant Rebel Wilson has a history of fabricating false and malicious lies to hide her own lack of professionalism and advance her own self-interest. This lawsuit is about holding Rebel accountable for her attempts to bully Plaintiffs into conceding to her unreasonable demands by spreading vicious lies without regard for the irreparable damage her reckless words would cause on the hard-earned personal and professional reputations of Plaintiffs.”
As a consequence to Wilson, Ghost, Holden and Cameron are seeking a variety of unspecified damages, with more to be determined by the court.
Deadline has reached out to Wilson and will update when we have a response.
