Rebel Wilson says on-set bullying claims are 'absolute nonsense' in defamation case
Rebel Wilson testifies in a defamation case, denying on-set bullying allegations and calling them 'absolute nonsense' as the trial unfolds.
Rebel Wilson testified in a defamation case this week, telling the court that claims she bullied women on her film set are "absolute nonsense." She is defending posts she made on Instagram about a co-star from her film The Deb, which sparked the lawsuit.
The court heard Wilson would take the stand to address allegations that she bullied colleagues on set. In the testimony, she argued that the claims were not only untrue but also part of an aggressive legal battle. The case centers on a claim that a fellow actor confided in her that she was uncomfortable about a bathing request from another colleague.
Wilson's lawyers argue the posts reflected her opinions about the project and its cast, not factual statements meant to harm. The plaintiff's team contends the posts were defamatory and seeks damages.
The proceedings are continuing, with entertainment circles watching closely as witnesses are expected to provide more context about on-set behavior and social media statements in high-profile defamation cases.
