Actor Rebel Wilson wins a second legal battle in Australia involving her debut film, The Deb, according to multiple outlets. The dispute centers on co-producers’ claims that Wilson engaged in misconduct related to the film’s release and breached contractual obligations.
The Guardian reports that an NSW Supreme Court judge otherwise dismisses the co-producers’ case while awarding Wilson nearly $400,000 after she countersues. It also describes the allegations as including sabotage, lying, and contractual breaches, and notes that The Deb has been the focus of more than one legal fight across Australia and the US.
Other reporting emphasizes the financial outcome. The West Australian says Wilson is awarded a little under $360,000 after the court rejects claims she sabotaged the movie, which is described as a box-office flop. Across coverage, the core points—Wilson’s victory and an award for unpaid fees—are consistent, with differing detail about the judge’s reasoning and how the parties’ claims are handled.
